Dear Future Love: the order is simple, never tall, please be as brilliant and efficient and romantic as my current iTunes library.
My current iTunes music library is at 50-ish GB of music. This does not include bands which I refuse to listen to anymore (Crystal Castles!). I currently have an 8gb iPod and I obviously can not fit all of them in there. I have always been wondering how my friends would sync their music to their iPods considering that creating playlists would be the only way for them to get songs in my iPod. I wonder what they do assuming we share the exact same problem: a music library with too many songs and an iPod which can not hold all of it.
I know what you might think, future love: that these are middle-class woes and I need to stop thinking about it and proceed to worry about other things instead. Believe me, I have those other things covered. So just shut up and listen to me when I ask you to be like my current iTunes library.
So let me proceed on comparing my desired traits in a future love to my current iTunes library.
Dear Future Love, I want you to be efficient. I have recently discovered that iTunes let me pick not only playlists to be synced to my iPod but as well as artists and genres. How very efficient as I could just proceed on putting songs in my library without having to make playlists as I can just tick that tickbox to sync the new artist. I want you to be as efficient as this. I am the type of person which problems find attractive; roofs fall over my head, our house gets leaks among many other random things which happens to me. It is not that I am asking you to solve all of my problems, but just little ones. Find ways to make it easier for me to stop frustrating myself.
Dear Future Love, I want you to be brilliant. Currently, iTunes has what they call Genius Mixes. I currently have 4 Genius Mixes. Indie Rock Playlist, Lo-Fi Playlist, Pop Playlist, Electronic Playlist. What a genius this iTunes, no? iTunes also has iTunes U. I can learn about the world, or about varying topics in the world because of iTunes. Future love, I want you to be more brilliant than I am. Brilliance is attractive and do not let other people tell you otherwise. Surprise people by it: be witty, offer quips, explain to me why words are used differently, beat me (sorely) in Words With Friends. I will like you more for it. Dazzle me with your wit.
Dear Future Love, I want you to be romantic. My iTunes library is filled with the sappiest of songs. Some of them I classify as Music for Mopey Romantics. It is just the way I am, future love. I am not particularly needy, all I want is a little love and attention, maybe some quality time. So please be romantic. Take me out on romantic dates, remember me on my birthday, tell me you love me through song, hold my hand and do not leave me when shit starts to happen (someone did and that is another story).
Dear Future Love, please be as efficient, brilliant, and romantic as my iTunes library.
With much love and patience to wait for you here (just here),
