So, hey! Have you got iTunes or Windows Media Player or something? (iTunes and WMP I can do. RealPlayer, I kind of can't remember anymore.) Cos with that, it's pretty easy, burning and things. (Not to be totally desperate for a mix album. But like I said, I love that the mixtapes I've got all have this distinct flavour that remind me of people when I play them.) Although iTunes is much much faster than WMP. Basically you make a playlist (File > New Playlist) and click burn disc in the right-hand corner. But maybe you don't have iTunes. In which case, um. There might be a tutorial on the internet somewhere? I'm trying to open WMP but I never use it so it's sort of slow going.
It's embarrassingly long and dumb, but all my in-real-life friends just back stabbed me and threw a huge party and didn't invite me, so I'm going through one of those. *hugs* That is pretty much rubbish and if I weren't strictly non-violent (personally, I mean; I'm not a complete pacifist, just terrified of pain and not very good at administering it anyway) I would go and punch them all for you. But that would be weird and wouldn't really solve anything.
Have you read I Capture the Castle? It's pretty much one of my favourite books ever. It's funny and clever and also rather sad, but the ending is bittersweet and hopeful, not depressing. And the writing is just amazing. If I can ever write half as well as Dodie Smith, I shall die happy, let me tell you. Also, how much L.M. Montgomery have you read? I love Anne, but the Emily of New Moon Trilogy is my favourite. I am also rather in love with The Blue Castle just now, which I should totally not love as much as I do because it's a bit sentimental, but it's so good that it makes up for the sentimentality, and it seems real, and not silly. Also the descriptions of the weather and seasons and country make me want to pack up and move to Canada.
I am also in love with Robin McKinley just now. Check out The Blue Sword. It's sort of alternate Victorian British Empire set in somewhere like the Middle East and it is lovely.
OMG!! SQUEE!! WHAT DOES STEAMPUNK JEWELRY LOOK LIKE?!
Well, there are earrings at Claire's that have cogs and gears on, sort of like watch cogs, I think. They're that size, anyway. And anything neo-Victorian or sort of punk-Victorian or having to do with Victorian machinery. I love the crazy elaborate decadent-ness of Victorian art.
