i'm a high school lover and you're my favourite flavour

two blog posts in one day is sad.  i know.  but i was cleaning up my itunes (superwildweekendgirl) and found not one, not two, but four separate playlists entitled "make out."  seeing as how the past two years have been dedicated to making out with one person, most of the time sans accompaniment, i assume some are from my free-wheelin' days as a lass in grad school/young professional phases, respectively.  well, guess what?  they're freaking awesome (but that's just me).  not to mention consistent.  there are a few outliers that have been weeded out: boston's "amanda" because i was (and still kinda am) convinced it's the most romantic song ever; "into the night" by benny mardones because that song was played a lot on magic 102.1 or whatever fm when i was a kid and i had a broken radio in my room that only tuned to that station; "amazed" by lonestar - this song literally makes me gag as if i am back in texas now.  the only thing i can think is that i had some sort of tryst with a country boy.  but i digress.  the other interesting thing: these playlists are lengthy.  like, three hours lengthy.  which tells me that things were pretty cool a few years back.  who knows if they even got much use, but here are some highlights.  friends, feel free to borrow.  no, it's not gross.
