9 march 2004 -- O AOTMers, gather 'round and listen to my tale of woe. So there was this boy in my class on Versailles who I thought was kinda into me, and I was for sure into him...he lent me his Silver Jews CD, straight from the greasy spoon where he works nights, I decided to one-up that and make him a mixtape, a spontaneous outpouring of my favorite songs, whatever moved me at the moment (its spontaneity accounts for such seeming faux pas as 2 Dylan tracks on one side, etc. -- but everything sounds good). I wrote the typical letter-length liner notes, and even made nifty little college on the case. Who could resist such a token of love, right? So I gave it to him today, he dubbed the mixed tape a "lo-fi letter" (he appreciates the intimacy, right?) seems all excited about it...and I learn on our walk to the other side of campus that he has a girlfriend. And she's FRENCH. As soon as he is out of my sight, I throw myself and my bicycle to the ground and howl. What's worse -- the fact that I can never have him, or that I have provided such excellent material as potential love music for him and his mademoiselle?
