The CD post

Now, the making of a good compilation tape is a very subtle art. Many do’s and don’ts. First of all you’re using someone else’s poetry to express how you feel. This is a delicate thing.
The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don’t wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. There are a lot of rules. –High Fidelity

I’ve been leading up to the great post on all the CD’s I got in a request to the internet to make me a mixed CD of your favorite music.
I had NO idea the overwhelming response I got. I have more CDs than any human should ever own…illegally.

Most of you made more than one CD and I can’t believe the work, time and effort put into what you made for me. I was taken back by all the love you put in them.

I have a couple that if I could make last forever I would. Carrie made a CD that had music that they play on this thing I have in my car…it’s called a ‘radio’, but seeing that I am never allowed to listen to that ‘radio’ part of the device because of 5 children insisting that they want to listen to THEIR CDs, I wouldn’t know anything outside of the crap my children subject me too.

BigHeavy sent me a CD. You never know what to expect when you ask the internet to send you music and after awhile you sort of get a ‘feeling’ for what you THINK you might get. I was off on his CD. He went all nuts with 90’s grooving tunes and then some other crazy stuff.

Needless to say I am STILL working on getting through all the CDs. I put a radio in my new backyard haven and I listen to a new one every couple of nights. Sometimes I look at the CD player in complete confusion and sometimes I am scrambling to find the case to see what the song is because I have a new favorite song I must listen to a million times over.

For me to write down all the CD’s I got from the people would take way more brain power than I posses at any given moment.
I do LOVE each and every one of them. LOVE them.

During a search for my medication to I found an envelope of random pictures (yes, I lose my medication in the most random of places) and in the pictures I found a mixed CD that my ex-boyfriend made me. Portishead and U2. After we broke up we had to do that awkward ‘CD collection’ hand over. I kept all the ones he made me, because he was a DJ and honestly could mix a CD that would make you weep.

I put in the CD to see if it would bring me back. It didn’t though. Time is fading all the memories we shared and even a mixed CD couldn’t bring it back. I’m grateful for that.

Now, I would REALLY like for everyone that made me a CD, PLEASE come forward and leave me a comment so I can get your addresses again and mail you a CD I am going to throw my whole heart into. In fact, if you just want a CD by Random and Odd, comment and I will email you for your addresses.

No worries about me stalking you if I get your information. I am FAR too lazy to stalk anyone. I can barely remember to call my mom and sister back; stalking is REALLY out of the picture…unless you make me cookies. Consideration of stalking can be reconsidered.

Thanks everyone for hanging on here with me. I’m REALLY battling a hard spot in my life. My doctor gave me a sheet to record my panic attacks.
ONE sheet made it through a few hours.

Oh, and an update on Dr. Lousy…I asked to see a shrink. I am requesting a new doctor. He just doesn’t get me.

Who the hell does?
