All the paint! All the paint! All the paint!

(Imagine the Sarah Jessica Parker Sanderson sister from Hocus Pocus, amok-bouncing here.)

Then I’m the love that you’ve looked for…write to meeeeee and escape.

(I just totally earwormed myself.)

I do not need more paint.

OHHHMMMMM.

::orders anyway::

I wish this had been here a few months back — I just sold all mine to a local store.
