I made Matt a CD complete with a supplement highlighting the lyrics of each song that made me pick that song.
I've never done anything so unbelievable emo in my life, but I'm SO PLEASED with myself.
Oh, I forgot to mention that at 1:30am at CTP last night, I found out about THREE more girls he has fucked that he claimed were "just friends." I left him a voicemail that said "Call me back tomorrow or I am never speaking to you again." He has called twice but I haven't picked up.
Here are the songs on the CD and the lyrics I picked from each one to highlight in the collection of blue 5.5" x 4.25"
.. warning, some of them are classically cheesy but necessary:
1) Mix Tape - Brand New: This is the first song for your mix tape and it's short just like your temper but somewhat golden like those afternoons we spent before you got too cool / when I say let's keep in touch, I really mean I wish that you'd grow up / you're always made up / I know you're a sucker for anything acoustic
2) Careful - Guster: As usual, you'll get your way / Others lie, lie, lie, they "adore" you... I'll be the one to tell you careful, or you'll hurt yourself / All you want to see is make believe
3) Barely Breathing - Duncan Sheik: You really had me going, wishing on a star, but the black holes that surround you are heavier by far. I believed in your confusion, you were "so completely torn" -well, it must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born / I've come to find I may never know your changing mind; is it friend or foe? I rise above or sink below with every time you come and go... please don't come and go.
4) Out of my Head - Fastball: See if you can somehow factor in... you know there is always more than one way to say exactly what you mean to say / Was I out of my head, was I out of my mind? How could I have ever been so blind?
5) In a Shell - Granian: Break my shell, shed no tear, take my soul but leave me here... alone, ashamed, with no care, turn around and leave me there.
6) Let There Be Love - Oasis: I never knew, but all the things you've done are coming right back to you.
7) Brian Wilson - Barenaked Ladies: It's a matter of instinct, it's a matter of conditioning, it's a matter of fact - you can call me Pavlov's dog, ring a bell and I'll salivate. How'd you like that?
8) Landslide - Fleetwood Mac: Well, I've been afraid of changing cause I've built my life around you... but time makes you bolder.
9) Either Way - Guster: You were almost kind, you were almost true, why give up that other side of you? / So it must be true... step on a kid and he'll grow up hating you.
10) Seven Years - Norah Jones: A little girl with nothing wrong... and she's all alone.
11) No More I Love You's - Annie Lennox: My aching heart would bleed for you to see. OHHHH but now I don't find myself bouncing home whistling buttonhole tunes to make me cry
12) The Blower's Daughter - Damien Rice: Did I say that I loathe you? Did I say that I want to leave it all behind? / I can't take my mind off of you until I find someone new.
13) Have You Seen Me Lately - Counting Crows: Get away from me - this isn't going to be easy but I don't need you, believe me. You got a piece of me but it's just a little piece. / ...could you tell me one thing you remember about me?
14) Sweetest Goodbye - Maroon 5: With a tear in my eye, givem e the sweetest goodbye that I ever did receive. / Say goodbye and just fly away. When you come back, I have some things to say.
I just called him and ominously told him he had to come pick something up and he asked "What was with that really weird voicemail you left me last night?" I responded "I'm mad at you." He asked about what, I said you'll see, he asked what he needed to come pick up, I said you'll see, he said he didn't like this game, I said too bad, he said he wasn't going to come, I told him he had to, he asked why, I said because I only want you to do this ONE thing for me, it's NOT that hard, he finally said ok, I asked when he was coming, he said around 9pm, I said ok, and hung up. WHEW. How's that for the best run on sentence ever?
BUT... YES!
Quick opinions needed... should I really give this to him? I'll need some answers within the next 2 1/2 hours :-)
Also, if I do give it to him, I think that'll mean I'll be automatically uninvited to his formal at the firehouse next weekend, which is also Sigma Pi's parents weekend, meaning I won't get to see his brother either... and I just LOVE his brother.
SO, opinions?
