I had a girlfriend once ...
... once!

No, but really, she made me a couple of mix tapes with such good stuff on I've been spending a good part of the last twenty years buying/nicking the original albums they came from.

Stuff what was on it (this was back in th' 80s, remember) -

Joni Mitchell "Sweet Sucker Dance", "The Boho Dance"
Suicide "Touch Me"
Prefab Sprout "Appetite"
Associates "Party Fears Two"
Julian Cope "Holy Love"
and so on ...

Mind you she was a bit odd. "Borrowed" a violin off me so that I had to go round her house and collect it. Left little notes in the lining of my coat. Gave me a photo of herself when we started going out, then nicked it back out of my wallet when she wanted to split up. I've got a horrible feeling she left me with something else rather more scratch-inducing as well. Very embarrassing for a 17-year-old.

Maybe I should have put this in the stalkers qotw.
