I was poor and it got me laid.
Well, I'd just started going out with this chap and as chance would have it, his birthday was coming up. Now I was horrendously short on money, to the extent that ethiopians were coming up to me in the street and offering to lend me a few pence*. So I wondered on what the fuckery to buy that would a) impress and b) not cost many sheckels. I hit upon the idea of a mix tape. I decided to whip one off iTunes (the source of much of my financial enfuckerance) and presented it to him together with a handcrafted sleeve. I got laid. It's now 2 years later. We're buying a house together. He doesn't know it yet, but I'm going to propose to him for his next birthday, and he'll get something even shiner than a CD.....

Woo, yay and what the hell...maybe a little hoopla?

* not even remotely true. And a horrendous racial sterotype. Shame on me. Click I like this and I may think about donating some money to them, before deciding not to.
