I’d give it to the boy who has made me mix tapes.
We live 10 hours apart.
It’d be the best way to make him feel closer to me.
I’d give mine to the next resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, in hopes that he’d play it in the background of his press conferences.
I’d give it to my best friend in Houston and fill it up with all funky/cool/weird songs to make her miss me and come back home !
Oh, I would totally give this to my sweetie, my best friend, my HUSBAND!!!! Full of all of the cheesy love songs he likes to serenade me with!!
I’d give it to my best-music-friend Emily cause she totally introduced me to Justice and my life has forever been changed because of it.
I’d give Luis Tovar for giving me a Mixtape Flash Drive.
i wud give it to me ma cus knowin her she wud try and stick it into a cassette player and seein that would just make my day knowin how stupid she is!
I’d give it to the boy I like. I wonder if you can draw on those USB drives with markerpens so I could draw hearts all over it too.
i would give it to my friend to show him that vintage is cool, making him a playlist with both the new songs he loves and the old songs that inspired them.
I’d give it to the man who put the bomp in the bompobompabom; he made my baby fall in love with me.
I’d fill it with a play list I’m building for my daughter and give it to her.
To be honest, I’d keep it for myself. I don’t know anyone that I could give it to that would appreciate it more than me
That is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. I would totally send my mix tape to Obama, he looks like he’d love to groove to some sweet jams.
i’d give it to my friend quinton, but first i would load it with all britney spears songs because we love her!!!
I’d give it to my MacBook. The mixtape won’t work without it!
Mixtape flash. Got to give it to my guy Charlie.
to kanye?
or britney?
If I were to win this competition for a mixtape, I believe that in my heart, I would truly be in utter disarray! There are so many people on my list of ‘people to give gifts to that need them’ I would not know who would be the most qualified and deserving person of this splendiferous gift. So, I am going to list the top 5 candidates who would bathe in the riches of this mixtape flash drive if I win:
5. My neighbor, who most recently was diagnosed with chlamydia. For those of you who don’t know what this terrible and life threatening (as far as sex life goes) disease this is, think…. clams. Basically, ITS TERRIBLE! He would use this mixtape to download easter music for the upcoming holiday. hollaaaa.
4. The dean of admissions at Cal Lutheran. Being on his’/her’s good side is a must! It would be phantasmigoric considering a friend applied there and well… it would be a lot easier than giving sexual favors for a shoe in !
3. Brian O’Connell. This kid exists somewhere with a pseudo-disease and has applied for a make-a-wish foundation wish. It is imperative that he receives the mixtape before he dies…. because, well… quite frankly…. nothing is sweeter than a mixtape that plugs into your USB drive. AND HE WANTS IT! NOW!!! BEFORE HE DIES!!!
2. Santa Claus. He goes around giving gifts to people worldwide all night and what does he get in return!? Some whole milk and chocolate chip cookies. That only make his belly FAT. youuuuuu asshooloolleessssss.
1. Me. Duh.
I’d load it up with some tunes and give it to the DJ at my local bar… that way the music will be good for a change.
i would give it to myself because i am a poor college student who is broke and needs extra flash space because the hard drives on both my computers always crashe and the job i have been at for three years cut my hours so i can’t replace them and i was born in 1980 and can fully relate to a mix tape and a tape in general! yay! thanks.
I would give one to my good friend Art, he’s always bumming music from me!
I’d put only a single song on it, Christmas is the Time to Say I Love You by Billy Squier, and put it in an envelope with a long, heartfelt letter (written and revised over the course of the past 3 years) to my best friend of 15 years. Tell me I’m wasteful for only using 4.7 mb. Just tell me
I’d give it to my friend for her birthday because swapping mixtapes/CDs has become a sort of tradition for us.
I’d give it to my manager, who, after buying me alcohol, accompanying me to a Madonna concert, planning lunch dates at IHOP with me, and forcing me to wear a name tag reading “HOT TRANNY MESS” in the retail outlet we work in, officially holds the title of Best Fucking Boss Ever.
My dad. He is cool and tells me about music before anyone else. So i will repay him with this.
