" yeh pencil sharpeners are cheaper lol and easier to get hold of, plus I can't dismantle a leg razor and don't know what a box cutter is :P plusplus pencil sharpeners look more innocent and harmless, you get less suspicion mm I count sometime. try to limit myself, why do you hate your counselor ? if so you should just stop seeing them "
