promised you a miracle
A friend of mine earlier this week just realized how immature and egomaniacal people can get when they get dumped, particularly when all previous signs seemed to point to them being "nice" and "sweet"--it's not like it was anything new to her, but to know it and experience it are sometimes two different things for anyone.

She's busy doing rotations in Chicago for her second year med stuff at UofM, but luckily that keeps her busy between dealing with the about-face executed by her "sweetie" and trying to get acclimated to life in a new city. And since I've been seemingly pouring music out into tin cups lately to anyone that stops by and says, "heeeeyyyyyyy, oooh i like that what'cha listenin' to? can i have some?", it was only inevitable that another mix cd doth be begotten.

I think there are probably two or maybe three people on my friends-list that would have it in them to make majorly titanic tracklists--I'm genuinely not as -diverse- as some people, although my music tastes vary far and wide, or narrow and needle-like pending. They'd probably know how easy it is to pick 100+ tracks and then have to whittle it down from there for whatever the person'd like/would fit them most/be new and also engaging to them.

And seriously, there are things like listening to a handpicked selection of songs with you lesserly or greaterly in mind... but there aren't many that match popping a cd or three into a car player and not knowing at all what's about to come on, or what the person may have selected. It's you, the drive, whoever's listening with you, and deliberate songs. It's special, folks.

I cut this one down to about 46. Old songs, new songs, songs I don't like so much, songs I only like the unique sound to, songs I find funny as hell (track #5 on cd 3, because I am a white kid from Michigan), but Rabs'll appreciate them all. Maybe. Hopefully not. It's a lot of popular music and hits a lot of different things.

This is the way it went:

D: and you feel strangely obligated to say "Because you do"
