Mix Tapes and Forgotten Diaries

Derek and I have moved into an apartment in Sandy.  It's small, but it's clean.  I'm really liking it.  And as usually happens when packing stuff up that you haven't actually seen in a really long time, I have found a lot of forgotten things.  A lot of my stuff was in plastic storage boxes in the closet at the duplex.  I really hadn't done anything with those boxes since I put stuff in them in the first place.  I had gone through them a couple of times, but never really looked at much.  I found a ton of old tapes.  Mix tapes and even a tape that says "Danni's Diary".  I may have recorded over what was actually the diary on that tape, but I'm curious about it and I'm going to have to listen to see what's on it.

Several of my old mix tapes had actual mixes on them.  I'm not talking about just different songs.  I used to go through my music and the lyrics in my music to write my own new songs.  I would find lines in different songs by different artists to express how I was feeling at that time.  Then I would record just that one line from the CD onto the tape and make a completely new song out of several different songs.  It was actually a lot of fun.  A few of these old tapes have those on them.

Most of the tapes are just mixes of my favourite songs from my CDs, or a mix of music that I would hear on the radio.  I'd listen to the radio, and if a song came on that sounded good or interesting, I'd hit record.  I haven't listened to any of these tapes for probably a good 12 years or so.  Since Jareth's been listening to them, I've come to a conclusion.  I'm going to go through each of these tapes.  I'm going to get a list made up of all the songs on each tape.  Then I'm going to download each of those songs.  Then I can make mix CDs of the same songs I had on my tapes.  I'm actually really excited about this.

Okay, I know.  This entry wasn't a very good one.  But I'm really enjoying going through my old things and finding all this old stuff.  I should get pictures of a couple other things I found.  Ha!  Yeah.  I have a stuffed animal (sorta) called Chubbles.  Oh!  I found pictures online!

This is Chubbles.  I don't think I ever had the book shown in this picture, but that's my Chubbles, alright.  All About Chubbles and Here's a video of the noise he makes.  Mine looks exactly like the one in the picture.  Oh man.  I love my Chubbles.  ^_^  Derek thinks I'm crazy, but I don't care.

I also have this really really old troll doll.  It's not like the crazy haired 80's trolls we all had (just admit it...).  It's older than that.  That's one that I'll just have to get a picture of because I'm not going to find it online.

So yeah.  I'm really excited to be going through all this old stuff and finding stuff I had forgotten about.  ^_^  It's actually a lot of fun.

And that's really all I've got right now.  So until next time....
