This mix sucks because I approached it with a negative attitude about ten or eleven months ago. I lost the mix but seeing as I have an almost superior memory, I will try to recreate it, edit, and add a bit more.
Basically, exactly a year ago, I unwillingly took off for vacation in Cancun, Mexico. Sure, it meant I didn't have to deal with any of my friends and that I was missing cheer camp, but I still didn't want to go. I ended up having a little fling with "un garçon" (French for "a boy") from another country (Quebec), meaning he spoke less English and more French, but that was nice because everything was more or less a nonverbal understanding, if that makes sense. Everything was perfect because I was not sunburned, I was not at cheer camp/stuck at home, and I had a boy from Quebec that was interestred in me (a dream everbody has) but I knew my "friendship" (let's call it that) with my "petit copain" (little friend. He taught me a few phrases.) was doomed and he was eventually leaving to go back to his home country and I was back to where I began. I decided to keep in touch and talk to him over MSN messenger, and finally, eight months in March, after I last saw him, I realized how much of an idiot he is and how much time I wasted deciphering his fractured English and I cut off all ties. :D I mean, it wasn't love. It was only a deep attraction and infatuation for a sixteen year old, Quebec boy with an accent.
Anyway, this mix is just about how I felt about him and everything else during that period of time because it made a temporary impact on my life.

Track Description:
I listened to this album (before it was released. I had an advance copy) so much while I was south of the border, and everything just seemed to relate, perfectly... I think. "Oh, the trouble we can get in, so let's screw this one up right". It seemed like the thing to do at the time.

Except we didn't talk about much, but we definitely avoided any topic that involved the both of us. We talked about his mom's favorite perfume and how he wanted to grow up to be a firefighter (I swear, Francis was not 8 at the time) because he wanted to save lives. Yeah, I like the noble men...

Year: 2001
Track Description:
Last day and I felt like we should make it everything we could. You know, nighttime strolls on the Caribean Sea, sipping champagne since everything is legal in Cancun, and just making the most of how much time was left.
Actually, we ended up hanging out with a bunch of drunk people and Francis knocked someone out and gave him a concussion. The ideal way to spend a last day.

Just one more plane ride

We stood like statues

Vacation's come and gone
too late.
There's so much sun
where I'm from.
I had to give it away,
had to give you away."

This is how I felt when I saw his cab off to the airport.

Everyone thinks this is the perfect song for his/her lovey of the moment. Though it definitely is not (because in all actuality, this song is about how Andrew, the one who wrote it, cheated on his girlfriend) this song always seems appropiate enough.

"Did you know I miss you?
Oh God, I miss you."

After Cancun, I still somewhat held on to the idea of Francis but flirted shamelessly, attempting to get over it, and tried to erase everything from my memory.

I am the heart that you call home
And I've written pages upon pages

After the whole trip, I wrote a "document" (that's what I like to call it) and after seeing everything on paper and rereading it, it hit me that it was all over.

And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more
But it was vile, and it was cheap
And you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me"

About the same time I realized it was over, I realized exactly what the lyrics state and I lost interest. We still talked online but I mean, what is there to talk about when I know little French and he can't even make sense in English... well sometimes. I did know what he meant when he told me he would "reemail" me.

Ahh, what a happy song!
I know nothing about it... I can't find the album it's on or anything. Whatever.

Anyway, things went downhill until one day in March, it hit the ULTIMATE low! After greeting each other and exchanging "ça va?"s, I realized how much time I wasted and how it didn't even matter to me. So, instead of being sad or disappointed, it was easier to become angry and play "Happy Break Up Song" on repeat for hours on end.

"By the way, bitch! You kiss my goddamn ass.
Eat shit and die you dirty fuckin' slut.
Fuck off, you stupid fuckin' cunt.
I hope you choke on toxic shock,
you fuckin' douchebag"

lovely, right?
And that's where it ends! I mean, it was nice while it lasted but everything has to end and I'm glad it did.

I had this rated -5 and I don't know why, except maybe some of the songs suck. But I think some of the songs on almost all mixes suck, other than mixes that are mine, so I'm giving you +5 cos this mix needs it, and also it's got Decemberists and Say Hi To Your Mom, which, along with the Weakerthans, was the soundtrack to my freshman year.

I don't think it's become ironic yet to list the shitacular song from 'Titanic' in an unironic fashion. Yuck. The vast majority of the rest isn't so hot either. Don't trust the French-Canadiens.
