So... I just opened my 21st  birthday present from my dear friend... Gia Pemberton.  What did she get me?  Let me tell you..

 

CDs!!!  that's probably one of the best gifts you can give me.  I'm a music whore... and since I lack shareware... I'm all about stealing other people's music.

 

this is what she got me:

 

Kasabian (2004)

Spoon - Gimme Fiction (2005)

The Sea and Cake - Everybody (2007)

Death Cab for Cutie - Plans

 

The last one is my favourite - mostly because It's the one that I know best out of all of them

I can't wait to put them into my iPod.. iTunes dungeon of music hell.  keekee.

 

And so, as I opened up and drained the contents of the wonderfully bedazzled package - it was all decorated with happy birthday presents and hats and cupcakes, like a hand-painted menagerie of watercolor party tricks, labelled with a yellow, green, pink and orange bordered label - sent first class - I felt a few things jangle inside.

 

I looked in to find a few flickers of bright color pouncing about inside it's fluffy bubble wrap walls.

 

'Oooh!"  I exclaimed... "you put in confettii too?  Gia, you've out done yourself."

 

but then I looked closer.

 

They were chips from the edges of the jewel colored cd-cases that gia used to encased her cds that she burned from her own personal collection.  They had broken off during transit, as it was jostled about from meaty hand to meaty hand, pushed and shoved in mail trucks on the way down to LA from Santa Cruz.  So much for first class, eh?  A few broken slivers of brightly colored plastic, broken off from the very gift that Gia had sent to me.  Well, I guess that means that the silly plastic peices that I thought was confetti and had actually turned out to be pretty peices of trash were truly just a part of my present.  Just the same -

 

so much for confettii, hunh?

 

that's ironic.

 

keekee.
