curbdrop out of grace

from the mountains

i dress my matress in long vertical stripes, to create the illusion that my bed is longer than it really is so it looks less wide and less empty.

i still haven't read any of Sex Lies and Cocoa puffs, although i've been meaning to. i wish i had brought it on the trip to vegas so i could put a dent into it while waiting on the plane rides. the reason i bought the book isn't because andy said i should. rather, she suggested so i looked it up and i opened to a random page, reading an excerpt. the paragraph said something about how guys make girls mixed cds because they are trying to get with them in some plane of existance or another. usually x axis, as it is horizontal BABY.

and that made me laugh. i read it to yount who was shopping with me. she laughed too. it's true. i've never made a cd for a girl that i didn't like. i've done it for, hmmm maybe 6 girls or more? i mean, i've given mixed cds to many more than that, but normally, i'll have made a cd for myself of songs i like that want to share, but then just make copies and distribute. but it's different when i purposely make cds for girls. and there's not at all always a hidden message about the song selection. sometimes there is. but if it's for a girl i like, how could i really find 15-17 songs that are all lovely and about her lovliness? i mean i could if i really try so hard. but so much of what i listen to isn't of that sort and it's actually better or more realistic or representive when i play a bunch of moody, chill, depressing shite songs and then throw in some love songs that are meant for the girl because that's how i see it as being.
