first off
HI!!
I've been away from lj for a while now, but I've completed quite a few things. Earlier I helped with some coding for the new tumblr pages
eilowyn (this woman is my soul mate. And if I didn't think Jamie would get jealous I'd offer to have her babies!) is running. One for our girl
Buffy and another one for the wonderful
Annie Edison. Go follow them!
then I disappeared for a while. I was online 5 days straight almost, but I didn't check in on lj, or tumblr, I wouldn't have even read my e-mails if they didn't conviently get sent to my phone. I decided one day, after looking through my music for a new song to vid something to, that I needed to organize my music folder (a task I've put off forever).
this may sound like a breeze....
but then you really don't know me....lol
See, I think one of the biggest reasons I love Annie so much is because she's an over-achiever and she's very organized, I over-identify with that like WOAH!
My closet is organized by shirt type, and within that shirt type, by color, all of my dvds/cds/books are alphabetically ordered and then set into categories, such as author/genre. I get pretty intense about it. So much so, that my boyfriend is no longer allowed to put away my clothes...
so theres the first factor, the second factor is that
I HAVE A SH@* TON OF MUSIC!
No really. My itunes tells me that I have 16,382 songs in it....
And I organized it all. And it took me 5 days.
But because I did that, I got some motivation to start something I'd long ago stopped doing.
When Jamie and I first ever interacted with each other, it was because of music. And for a while, we would send playlists back and forth to each other. Suddenly the playlists became more personal, and we were sharing stories about ourselves as well as the music that was always involved in our lives. And now she's one of my best friends (she's also beautiful, wonderful, amazing, I could go on and on and on and on)
So I felt I needed to give back in someway to this community, and the fandom members who have unknowingly made an impact on my life in some way (all of my f-list).
As I've said before, things from my personal life/past, are a bit hard for me to open up about. So I decided to get back to making playlists, and that idea turned into making a monthly cd that may or may not come with stories about me (if I feel open enough to discuss them)
I know this is a small gesture in the grand scheme of things that I could do to give back to a community that has opened their heart to me, but I felt I had to do something.
So, a long tanget, but nothing real personal for this first one.
Either way I hope you enjoy it. This is the first CD, and there will be monthly ones.
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE CD if anyone has trouble downloading it let me know.
