I hope you like it! and I love how your smiley face has a nose so I'll put a nose in mine, too :-)

It seems like a great mix, willbe definitely download this.
Thanks for this ;)

apianogirl August 10 2010, 02:21:31 UTC

thank you, I hope you like it! :)
just out of curiosity, who is that in your icon..? I can't recognize them upside down ^^

chepis August 10 2010, 13:44:46 UTC

I did like it :D
They're Sheldon and Penny, so funny together and apart.

apianogirl August 10 2010, 16:29:19 UTC

ah! my bad, should have recognized them, they definitely need to get together soon... here's to hoping it happens next season! :)

I downloaded the zip file, but it seems to only have one song on it ("Half of My Heart"). However, I just bought a MacBook Pro yesterday, so it could be that I am doing something wrong on my end haha.

apianogirl August 10 2010, 02:24:11 UTC

hm, since no one else seems to have had the same problem, I'm going to guess the problem's on your side? if it still doesn't work, give me your email or something, and I'll send it to you! :)

Downloading~! Looks awesome!

apianogirl August 10 2010, 02:29:22 UTC

thank you, I hope you like it! and I've been staring at your icon trying to figure out who it is, I still can't recognize him, but it sure is amusing ^^

greenteaduck August 10 2010, 03:06:08 UTC

I have been listening to it and I love it!! I especially like the song by Bruno Mars--I may have to go check out some of his other stuff now xD

Oh! It is Neil Patrick Harris from when he was on Saturday Night Live :)

apianogirl August 10 2010, 06:30:39 UTC

well, I'm sure you've already heard another one of his songs, Billionaire? but I think I like Just the Way You Are more :)

and ah, my goodness, of course! I can't believe I didn't recognize him! he's the only reason I continue to watch HIMYM ^^

Snagging! And get to work on those essays ;) It's best to get them out of the way ASAP.

I almost did my common app 500 word one on mix making and what that meant to me, haha.

apianogirl August 10 2010, 02:37:02 UTC

I was thinking of maybe writing about that, too! but I don't know, I still haven't decided what exactly I want to write about, coming up with a good topic is so damn hard :(
anyway, I hope you liked it! and I already left you a comment, but I'll repeat it here: your Avatar banners are amazing. simply amazing ♥

turtleyurtle1 August 10 2010, 06:44:23 UTC

I was actually super excited you threw in korean music too xD; just fyi. Haha, I got into it through some friends, so I like expanding what I listen to. :D

And I'm super glad you like my banners! They were all done on a cracky whim.

...and I just got done with Senior year, and I was totally where you were at, but honestly don't stress too much- or second guess those essays. I ended up writing about how being a geek influenced my world view and interest in news and politics. Yes, writing about Harry Potter got me accepted into colleges. xD

[I like writing though, so I applied to U of Chicago for their essay supplements... O_o; Prompt "How were you caught" and I wrote as a scientist luring the wild specimen of me into a cage to be shipped to U of Chi. I mean really, don't be afraid to be odd. Playlisting is cool.]

/end awkward advice

apianogirl August 10 2010, 09:11:16 UTC

oh really? I'm not sure how popular K-Pop is in the US so I restrained myself and only threw in 2, but I was thinking of maybe putting up a mix of just Korean songs for those who want to get into the genre :)

and aw, thank you so much for the not-at-all awkward advice! ♥ honestly, any advice I can get at this moment is good because I'm feeling completely swamped by everything... I'm still trying to choose which colleges I want to apply to, and I already feel like it's the hardest decision of my life!

ah, U of Chicago has hands down the best essay topics. one of them this year is "Find x." which, if I apply, is going to be a pain to figure out... but at least they're a lot more interesting than the generic "Why ____?" ones.... did you end up going there? :)
