I’m like you, I am human and I need to be loved just like everybody else does. My friend Chris IM’ed me a bit ago and said he was preparing to “do the deed” and he wanted some suggestions of songs that would set the mood. Now, since I’m a virgin (insert roaring laughter here), I can only imagine what songs I would listen to in that magical moment when the lights go down and it’s just the two of us (you and me, that is). So, I sat down and went through my playlist noting the songs that do the trick when I’m ready to get my freak on. I’m not sure what this says about me, mind you, but I’d love it if you’d play along by making your own freak-freak compilation for the one you love and give it a go. Meanwhile, if you’re feeling lonely and you want to make your move, I think I’m free like on Wednesday. But call before you drop by, I have to clean up the place and make it look nice.

Now get out the candles and incense. It’s going down.
