Introduction

It was the night before our first anniversary, and I was sitting up in the dimly lit guest room of our apartment, desperately thinking of a way to show her how much she meant to me. Britt had come up with this "brilliant" idea of making each other something for our anniversary, because we didn't have much money in our coffers right now. Over the past week, I have been sitting, thinking about what I could possibly make for Britt to show her how much I love her. I tried poetry, but most of it turned out all "Songs of Solomon". My personal favorite was "I love you so much Britt, I especially love your tit. Both of them really, not just one. Writing about your boobs turns me on." I tried art, but the things I painted all ended up looking like her boobs on steroids. I tried to write a song, but they all seemed artificial and cheesy. So here I sat, terrified that my baby would wake up tomorrow and not have a gift from me. I kicked the desk in righteous fury, and jumped out of my seat when a couple of errant CD cases crashed to the floor.

Suddenly, those CD cases gave me a great idea! A mixed CD, full of songs that reminded me of our relationship. Why didn't I think of it before? I opened iTunes and browsed through my songs, biting my lip and thinking about how each song could fit us. I knew I'd be at this all night, but I also knew my girl would love it.
