were you a mix cd-maker in your salad days? what would you have put on a roadtrip mix as a teenager?
no ... i received several mix/compilation cds as presents from my ambiguously lgbtsexual friends (pouring one out for you kim & glenn) but i don't recall ever burning one. i'm sure i must have and written cutely on it with sharpie but i blocked out a large proportion of the teenage years as one does
in any case i'm too humiliated to write what i would have put as a teenager lol. i had such weird, bad taste in music strongly influenced by internet culture, my dad's music (who was perpetrating parental alienation syndrome at the time lol), and my stupid boyfriend. also i didn't get my license until i was 17. and i never went on trips with friends and only did things with them like twice a year as the suicidal depression left me very under-socialized as a teen. so here's the peachpulpeuse teenage road trip mix.
