A very Happy Birthday to my dearest, Nelle. I love you, and I miss you incredibly. Knowing you has made my life infinitely more fun, fabulous, awkward, amazing, and blessed. I don't know if it's because we haven't been roommates for these several months, or what, but with your birthday coming up, I've been having fun reminiscing about some of our fantastic times. Our first meeting in ISF (and that unfortunate passage you read in our first class with Dr. Smith), all of our Erica drama (what foolish, dramatic youngsters we were!), making our John Kerry posters sophomore year, getting lost in Paris until 3am because neither of us can apparently read a map correctly, watching American Idol, drinking wine, running random errands, Imago Dei on Sundays in Portland, Wood Villiage MADNESS, graduation, Doctor Who marathons, movies, baking, cooking, our gingerbread Tardis, venting and ranting about other people's stupidity, the Portal, and ohemgee, I seriously miss you like freaking mad.
Thus, your birthday fanmix was born. I
had all the songs on my computer ready to upload, and then my computer had a rather unfortunate encounter with coffee, thanks to me, so I only have some of the links right now, but I really wanted to post this on your actual birthday day, so I can just edit the post with links when and as I get them. You probably have most of them
anyway. The collection is simple: a list of songs that make me think of you. There are
loads more that I wanted to include and almost included, but I had to cut it back or I would've had a fanmix hundreds of songs long. So I narrowed it down to thirty.
Enjoy. I love you. You're more beautiful than you will ever know.
( quicksand: don't let it get you down )
