Every year, the message board I frequent runs a mixtape exchange, where all the music boffins pair up and share their musical tastes through physically sending CDs through the mail. I always like to put quite a bit of effort into the presentation of my mixtapes. For example, last year I made a cover out of Post-it notes. That was pretty cool, but unfortunately I didn't snap a pic of it before I sent it off. XP Anyway, this year I actually decided to do some cover art for my mixtape. So I sat down at some very late hour of the night with my trusty Pacer (which has been inactive for many months) and this was the result. As you can see, it's Ele grooving to some sweet tunes on her iPod. There wasn't a theme this year, but I made up my own: D.A.N.C.E! You see, both me and the guy I'm paired up with are Justice fans, so a CD full of awesome dancy music was just the ticket. Also, as you can probably also see, Ele is wearing a Fedora. Now, I know what you're all thinking and yes, it is a reference to Michael Jackson. A lot of things have happened in my absence, but MJ's death is by far the biggest thing. On the day it happened, I was up early to do some last minute study for an exam I had that day, so I saw it all unfold in real time. It was surreal to say the least. I didn't count myself as a huge fan before then (I was dancing to P.Y.T. in my room way before last month, so maybe I was a secret fan), but now that I have most of his discography in my iTunes I've been listening to it pretty much non-stop, and can now see myself as an open fan. Call me what you want, but that's the truth of it. I hope he's resting in peace, but some of the stories I'm seeing on the internet are pretty shameful. I'm surprised no one's done a Chris Crocker yet. XP ...ok, this comment has stretched on way further than I thought it would. Yay for rambling! So, I'll cut it here, and just enjoy the picture! ~Chibi
