But, you know, can't have. 3000 miles. There's no reality there.
Well, are you finding it ego-soothing and reminding of your essential lovability? That is to say, ability to be loved, not... lovable-ness, which is what puppies have.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I've received chaste mix tapes.
And there is the existing mix/created mix factor to consider.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It still takes some doing and thinking
But at minimum, you can set up bulk burning of the same playlist for multiple people, maybe switch out one song with really little effort.
When I was making krav mix CDs, they took about five minutes to assemble, and burned unattended.
It's not that you can't spend a million minutes fine tuning. It's that it's really easy not to.

Whoa. I ordered some mirrors for my father yesterday and went to try and find them on the site just to look at them again and couldn't. Which is when it occurred to me -- given that they're handmade, they're not there anymore because they've been sold. To me. I don't know, somehow that seems all significant -- these are the only ones like that!

I think the two 2-hour phone calls are more alarming than the mix tape, myself. I mean, if I had a boyfriend, I would wonder what he was thinking there. I thought he was Old Flame, not Best Buddy From Grade School.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

HUGELY.
ita's peeing on my mix parade.

He's both. Well, high school and college.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I say 3000 miles and a girlfriend means you bask in the crushiness without worrying that you'll have to follow up.

HUGELY.
Well, keep some perspective to mitigate the bad, but revel in the good! That's what I say.
Also, what brenda said. She is v. wise.

Okay, then. If he's an Ex-Best Buddy, he may not be evil.
Signed, has a great distrust of ex-Flames who call after several years and jerk you around for a few more weeks just because they're bored.
