liner notes

I laugh at inappropriate moments. I wear 5" heels so that I can look down my nose at everyone. I hate weddings. I want to hear your scar stories. I wave and smile maniacally at people who cut me off in traffic. I am a terrible wing-woman. I spend my free time on swing sets. I have a fear of being abandoned in bars located in strange parts of town. Sometimes, I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion. I prefer the back roads. I yell, "THIS ISN'T MY DADDY!" when male friends touch me. I take 92.4% of life seriously. I keep a shotgun under my bed for the remaining 7.6%.

[kneels to pray]
King Arthur: We thank thee, Lord, that in thy mercy -
[cut off by the Knight kicking him]
Black Knight: Come on, then.
King Arthur: What?
Black Knight: Have at you!
King Arthur: You are indeed brave, Sir Knight, but the fight is mine!
Black Knight: Oh, had enough, eh?
King Arthur: Look, you stupid bastard. You've got no arms left!

Much like the Black Knight, persistence is the key. Keep trying and you wil soon rise to first place on the winning team! Congrats.

Chug-a-lug, Donna.

I had been awake for four some-odd days taking speed with Ryan and his friends as we watched Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me over and over and over with saucer-wide eyes.

The phone rang and we were all too paranoid to answer. When the machine picked up and the caller began speaking to leave a message, I was convinced that it was the police officer who had made me his cause during my senior year of high school calling to read me the riot act.

I enlisted help in covering the windows with large towels and blankets so no one could see inside. Ryan stood beside me as I staple-gunned a blanket to the trim of the front bay window, rubbed his chin thoughtfully then looked at me to remark more than ask, "You're fucking crazy, you know that?"

It Hurts When I Stab This

1251 points (Level 2) · 10/2/09 5:09pm

It's October again and I can't sleep.

I spend my non-working waking hours making compilation CDs, playing Lego Batman, and teaching my niece to shake her baby dolls by their ankles and yell, "SHUT UP BABY - GO TO SLEEP".

I need a nap.

Would you hand me that deck of cards?

Mixed Signals

1406 points (Level 2) · 12/5/08 8:11pm

I don't know about you, but I'm confused.

Queen of Hearts

1453 points (Level 2) · 10/20/08 5:19pm

I've been the Queen of Hearts for Halloween going on 4 years now. If I could figure out how to legally behead people, I'd wear the costume every day.

Flight of the Insomniac

1753 points (Level 3) · 10/6/08 5:59pm

Every autumn, I go through an approximate six-week period of insomnia.

Here are the songs that take the edge off of the cranky/crazy that results.

Haterade.

1751 points (Level 4) · 10/1/08 6:19pm

Simply put: songs about sex, drugs, and hate.

Potpourri: Hand-picked by the Human Sachet

1951 points (Level 4) · 9/23/08 4:59pm

What's that smell?

Under the Acacia Tree

1519 points (Level 3) · 6/6/08 8:33pm

I made this mix for my friend, Acacia. It's chock full of songs I know she'll just love. They all share a similar mood/theme of loss or feeling lost.

Fuck you very much. Good night.

1944 points (Level 4) · 5/2/08 6:51pm

A true tale of puppy love gone awry. (If you know where the cover art came from, I love you a lot.)

Meant to be Spent Alone

1889 points (Level 4) · 4/25/08 5:17pm

I hate to fly. Like, a lot. HATE. So I drive anywhere I need to go and make any excuse in the book to avoid leaving the continent. These are the songs that find their way to the stereo every time I take a road trip, which is at least once every two months because I'm a spaz who cannot be still.

In the Attic

2104 points (Level 5) · 3/2/08 5:47pm

It's a good thing that my parents were such pack rats, or I would have never had such an awesome record collection to swipe when I left home. I love every one of these songs today as much as I did when I first hear them. Enjoy.

Time Travel - Oh, Junior High

2339 points (Level 5) · 1/28/08 8:29pm

What you could find in my tape collection between 1987 and 1989. Sadly, most of these are still around...somewhere.

Sedulous

2049 points (Level 5) · 1/14/08 8:25pm

For those who self-loathe and only feel whole when part of a pair, no matter how wrong and dysfunctional that pair may be.

Pills & Chills

2097 points (Level 5) · 12/13/07 4:30pm

Simply put: songs about sex and drugs.

We're Sinking Vol. 2 - XY Perspective

1872 points (Level 4) · 12/9/07 6:40pm

For those nights when you want to take a handful of valium and choke on your own vomit to the sound of deep and soothing voices.

We're Sinking Vol. 1 - XX Perspective

2087 points (Level 5) · 12/9/07 6:06pm

For those nights when you want to sink into the bathtub and slit your wrists to ethereal and lulling voices.

Your Face Here

1843 points (Level 4) · 12/9/07 9:27am

Whenever we'd hear some of these songs, this guy I knew would claim that they reminded him of me. He never explained why even after prodding with various sharp implements so I could only assume that he was mocking me. The rest of the songs remind me of him.

plz b mine

1948 points (Level 4) · 12/8/07 9:47pm

Another smarmy mix made around Valentine's Day a few years ago. The actual CDs I made had the tracks interspersed with snippets from Clerks and The Big Lebowski. They also were mailed out with cookies, because I'm (not above bribery) awesome.

...ouch.

1628 points (Level 3) · 12/8/07 8:50pm

Nothing like a bad breakup to bring out your inner mixtape mastery. RIP, jerkface. You may not be dead, but you're dead to me.

If You Say So

1855 points (Level 4) · 12/8/07 3:01pm

While cruising through OK Cupid one night, I became sickly amused and eye-rolly by the things that people had written in their profile (some of which are posted as artwork to this mix). I put together the smarmiest, neediest, and most sarcastic songs I could think of, and well. Yeah.
