Mm'kay. First things first...

Happy Birthday, cjdoyle.

I certainly hope it's a lovely one. :)

Next, about Christmas. I wanted to do something more than cards for most of you. I also wanted to not spend months and thousands looking for just the perfect gift, though. Some of you would be easy to shop for. Others I don't really know well enough yet. Me being me... I wanted to fix that. So, here's the idea. I'm asking for songs that mean something to you, that say something to you and for you. As many as I can find, plus some selections of my own, of course, will be randomly selected and put on CDs, and everyone will get a different CD. If you find nothing on there you like, then you will at least have heard something you may not have heard before, and you will have my card and the knowledge that you are in my thoughts. If you find something that speaks to you, though, then the fun begins -- because you can ask me who it's from, and I may have the pleasure of introducing you to a new friend. And I'll send them another CD with the other songs you picked, and you another CD with their selections. In the interest of not having three or four people whom everyone queries or songs everyone's already sick of hearing, though, here are the rules, such as they are.

• No Christmas carols, please.
  
• Nothing from the top forty this year.
  
• The more heartfelt, the better. If it makes you feel you're exposing yourself and your deepest feelings to have anyone know this song comes from you, then that's the song I'd like you to send. I do know you well enough to say with certainty that I've been blessed to know you. I want to know you better -- and I don't believe I'm alone in this. The poll below is the master list for the suggestions. No-one can see the answers, of course, but me. Thanks for playing along. :)

[Poll #81536]

Of course, I can only send you your CD if you go here and give me your address, if you haven't already. :)

hah, and I almost put 'bowling for soup - girl all the bad guys want' for my outlook on life, but i managed to restrain myself at the last moment.

*grins.* I like the song you did choose, though. Thanks! :)

What a brilliant idea - tons of work for you, but very cool :)

I have MP3's of the first 3, but not the fourth one... any help? Should I email them to you?

[kuangning]

Yes, thank you very kindly. :) aiobheil@nerv-un.net, please. :)

ooo!

[agentrayevyn.livejournal.com]

I have mp3s of everything I submitted.. let me know if you need them. :)

Re: ooo!

[kuangning]

thanks. :) Please do email them to aiobheil@nerv-un.net. Every few minutes I don't have to spend trying to grab them through winmx helps. :)

It was very difficult to choose the songs. There are so many that are close, but none just quite right. I too have mp3s if you need them. Oh drat, I just thought of instrumentals that would work. D'oh. Too many songs, too little time.

[kuangning]

Thank you! Please do email them to aiobheil@nerv-un.net. :)

This wasn't easy... I hope my choices weren't too bland.

[tibicina.livejournal.com]

Must think... too many songs... many I don't have on MP3, though I could probably put them on MP3... must choose.. Umm.. will get back to you.

Re:

[kuangning]

Sure. :) If you throw them onto mp3, you can toss them at aiobheil@nerv-un.net. :)

I'll just bet YOUR email account is overflowing!

Re:

[kuangning]

That's why I gave that particular addy. :) It doesn't matter -- I telnet in, open up pine, and save the attachments to my home directory.

Not looking for a cd and likely filled it out late anyway lol. But those are a few of my wierd favs. My taste is a bit all over the board but I suppose the one I didn't list that describes me and life as I know it is Blackbird by the Beatles and a thousand cover artists.

hi.. lol

[agentrayevyn.livejournal.com]

it's funny how life just kinda makes you forget things.. I know we talked at some point, because we're friends... but I'm shy and I tend to forget things, so I really apologize for being so.. nonexistant, I guess. But I'm here. :) I should talk more, I'm going to be in debate next semester...

Re: hi.. lol

[kuangning]

Not a problem. :) You've been on my friends list forever, and I'm kind of silent, too. There's not much I can say or want to say about what seem to me to be really normal growing pains. :) But I'm here, and I'm listening. And I seem to recall you have a birthday soon. So early birthday greetings just in case I miss it. :)

Re: hi.. lol

[kuangning]

Erm, well, or not. *checks birthdays.bml.* Sorry. :)

[wiredferret.livejournal.com]

Criminy, that was hard. I would give you different answers tomorrow.

(hug) What a wonderful idea.

[kuangning]

*hugs.* glad you like it. :)
