Hello, angsty teenage years! :P Wow, your friend had very nice taste!

I, too, did the mix tape thing back in the day. (Oh, man, how I loved having music nerd penpals!!) The first few were shitty, but I gradually got better at it. The last two mixes I made were in college; one for a guy who was a senior when I was a freshman (I had the worst crush on him, hehe), and the other as a Valentine's mix. That one was the first time I managed to tell a story with just music, and I think I love it to this day for that reason.

Memories, memories... ♥
