I DID A THING!



The back cover:


A .rar file!

It goes without saying that I'll upload individual files if you want them, but I think it also goes without saying that I'm too lazy to do them separately without prompting.

This Christmas mix was sort of more unusually one-note for me (usually there is a lot more pop and a lot more Frank Sinatra), so I also uploaded what my sister and I have declared to be the most delightful Christmas songs there are:

S Club 7 - Perfect Christmas
Jimmy Eat World - Last Christmas (actually Hannah hates this and all versions of this song, BUT WHATEVER, SIS, I'M SORRY YOU HATE FUN)
Ron Sexsmith - Maybe This Christmas
Guster - Donde Esta Santa Claus?
Frank Sinatra - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (actually for yeaaaaaaaaaars I was NOT OKAY with anything but the Judy Garland version of this song, but I have relaxed in my old age. And Frank Sinatra! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM.)
XTC - Thanks For Christmas (If you, like me, are one of those weirdos who just happens to be really really really fond of the holiday season, THIS IS YOUR SONG.)

AND OF COURSE, the Trey Songz and Flo Rida version of Jingle Bells from the Gap commercials that I love so much.

I HAVE BUT ONE REQUEST: if any West Wing fan happens to have "Simply Having A Wonderful Christmastime" by Martin Sheen, Stockard Channing, and John Spencer, I MISS IT DESPERATELY :(

Oh, and happy not-quite-belated Thanksgiving, Americans! I hope you have suitably napped off your food! Did you know there's a substance in turkey that makes you sleepy? You probably did. I didn't until this year.

I LOVE JIMMY EAT WORLD'S "LAST CHRISTMAS." It is one of the few poppy Christmas songs I like.

I have the NBC CD with "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime" on it, so give me a few minutes and I'll upload it for you. :)

I DO TOO (obviously)! I really really love it when bands decide to cover Christmas songs and they pick the exact right song for their sound. Most people miss completely and try to cover a classic in a ~updated~ way and it just ends up GROSS. There should be rules to prevent that kind of mishap.

Thank you so much!

[elapses.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I AM LEAVING THE CAPE TOMORROW, BUT I AM NOT VENTURING INTO INTERNET LAND UNTIL SATURDAY. ...meaning i'm on dialup and internetless friday night/saturday morning.

ALSO I JUST TEXTED YOU BECAUSE I FORGOT YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR PHONE GLUED TO YOU AT ALL TIMES LIKE ME.
point is: look at my most recent entry and tell me if you agree/think it's hilarious/think i'm ridiculous

hearttt.

ew!

Oh my god, Melissa, I just opened the cut a couple of minutes ago and decided I couldn't read it, I DIDN'T WANT TO READ IT, the situation (as summed up above the cut) sounds super awkward and you know how I get irrationally embarrassment squicked. MAYBE IN TEN MINUTES.

[elapses.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE MY FAVORITE, thanks again!

[book-babe.livejournal.com]

inorite.

Alex, have I ever mentioned that you are my favorite person ever? BECAUSE YOU ARE. lol i love you so much. it's just the wording that makes it awkward, haha. he's, like, polite and shit. idkk. SERIOUSLY YOU ARE MY FAV.

[barilace.livejournal.com]

Pretty! I shall be snagging.

[elapses.livejournal.com]

I didn't think he wasn't being polite, I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO READ THE ACTUAL TEXT OF A GUY WHO DIDN'T WANT TO DO A DANCE BEING TOO POLITE TO REFUSE YOU :( Is this because you like your usual (married?) partner ~*that way*~, or have I been reading your cryptic entries wrong? BECAUSE I HAVE TO SAY, I keep meaning to ask for clarification, because I am getting lost :(

BUT I LOVE YOU TOO.

You know how everyone's been whining about not getting LJ notifs on time? It wasn't happening to me (that kind of thing never happens to me) but now I guess it is. BLERG :(

[book-babe.livejournal.com]

ps you do realize the undertone to my response was 'omg read it already i'm bored and this is the option that doesn't involve sleeping' right? :D

translation2: has it been ten minutes yet

ilu, i'm sorry, i'm in a weird mood in which i want to share everything with the boy i can't want to share everything with, but i want to talk to him and be all "lolol this is why i'm not aggressive, see why telling me to be aggressive is pointless" and laugh with him about it. and that is not an option, but the fact that i want to make it an option is hilarious to me because i suck hardcore at burying this and i'm okay with that, i just think it's funny.

[elapses.livejournal.com]

SEE, MY BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH YOU IS YOUR EXCESSIVELY LIBERAL USE OF THE TERM "BOY".

I guess it has been ten minutes, though :(

[elapses.livejournal.com]

ENJOY!

Is that Dan and Serena doing things together in your icon? I'm weeks behind on Gossip Girl because everything about the season was driving me up the wall, but I also kind of miss them :(

[book-babe.livejournal.com]

lol fine okay go on aim, i will explain. i was planninggg on waiting until i was at my own computer BUT WHATEVER. ♥

[goldenmelisande.livejournal.com]

This is so good! I LOVE CHRISTMAS. I'm downloading it later when I'm not lazy and when there's no chance I'll unplug a bunch of things in the middle of the download (...lol). I took a couple of the individual links too. :D

[barilace.livejournal.com]

Nope. That's Chuck and Serena.

But Dan and Serena have been talking lately!

[book-babe.livejournal.com]

:(

oh dude you've been reading them wrong. my bad! but that's good, actually, in the sense that i'm glad they're that vague to people reading them because i very much don't want any tufts person ever to know that i like said boy. but :( i'm sorry you're getting lost. I WILL EXPLAIN.

yeah i noticed that tooooo. i haven't had a problem with it, but i went to see if you'd responded to like a comment ago and according to my email we hadn't comment conversed at all. so yeah. :/

[elapses.livejournal.com]

LOL WHAT, how many things are there to unplug? BUT I HOPE YOU END UP ENJOYING IT.

[spentayearinla.livejournal.com]

I was totes looking for music to download earlier to compile for my Christmas playlist, so this is a PERFECT addition it. I cannot wait to listen.

I kinda, maybe miss talking to you.

[elapses.livejournal.com]

OH GOOD, I'm just in time then!

I miss talking to you too! YOU ARE SUCH A TWITTER PERSON NOW. I keep meaning to get more into it than I am, but it always overwhelms me :(

[elapses.livejournal.com]

That is an unusually sober outfit for Chuck Bass.

[barilace.livejournal.com]

It was! I think he was wearing some odd pattern on his pants though. Still it wasn't showy. He must have been trying to be "proper" for his daddy on Thanksgiving. Haha.
