oh, and it gets better, I am an english major also. However, I write in my own dialect, which is, I am sorry to say, midwest teenage girl *ducks whatever anyone may throw at her*

He didn't really comment either way, but he's really got his heart set on this concert, which I don't understand much at all. Even though I told him I will probably get in line at about 5:30 or so.

that's funny, because those were the first two I had. And I love OTR now, so perhaps that's a good way to go.

> Ahhhh!!! Stop now! Don't lend him the cd! Just kidding. This does make it somewhat harder to suggest a CD though. OtR does not have TOO much in common with either of those genres. I suppose he could be a tasteful metal head with a penchant for the classic and artistic modes of rap. In this case I would go for Amateur of the albulms that you listed. it is a pity you don't have Besides because I think that might be even better.
That's what I was thinking too. he's doesn't really have descriminating tastes in literature or music. Strange dealings I say. I haven't heard much of besides, although I may blow all my money at the show on otr merch and cds.

See, but here's the wierd thing, we have established on several occasions (sometimes because of the prompting of his extremely jealous then-girlfriend) that we could never date, because we are pretty much opposites. He's all sports and sciences and rap music for goodness sake. And I love literature and music groups like Over the Rhine and their ilk, and I am about as indifferent to sports as one can be. But it is true. The flirtation
here is extreme.
