<p>@PioneerJones: Dude, are you kidding me? You copied my favorites exactly. Did you see my application or something? I had the exact same everything on my application and if you don’t provide proof that you didn’t steal my information, I will have to seek necessary punitive actions. What are the chances that we have the exact same favorite book, movie, website, adjectives, recording, keepsake, inspiration, word, and quote? C’mon, confess or repeal your plagiarized application.</p>

<p>Do you guys think it if I am 100% honest and pick a hardcore DnB song? Or should i stick more with the academic type of recording or one with meaning? Plus is a holocaust book too heavy for this section?</p>
