Nope, neither do I!
I'm just gonna spare my stupid voice and just answer those questions here.
- rain_is_sun wrote "If you were in a rock band, what would you play?"
If I played guitar, I wouldn't mind doing that, but I would probably be best suited or vocals, instrumental knowledge or not. Singing is something I do real well and I like doing it.
- pepperlandrudie wrote "What is your biggest fear? Like, phobia-type fear"
Isolophobia, commonly known as the fear of being alone. I absolutely hate being alone without knowing someone is coming back(yes, I have the cognitive abilities of a baby). Mostly the fear is manifested through the fact that I have the constant, nagging belief that I'm going to die alone. It constantly scares the everloving shit out of me that I might die without being with anyone. I'm not afraid of death, just afraid of dying alone.

Okay because I jokingly stated to ignore the first voice post, I guess some people actually DID.
So now you guys get this: another chance.
Ask away(again), leave a comment, then I'll make another voice post I guess.

Give me NEW songs(ones you think I haven't heard before), I will talk about them.
I'm doing this for a year and, while Beth is being a huge help in this thing, I don't want it to be entirely her songs. The blog isn't called These Are Beth's Songs. I want you guys to give me your musical interests too.
