“The compact disc delivers crisp, high-fidelity audio in a portable form factor. With a sixteen-bit signal and a staggering seventy-four minutes of playtime, it's the sound of the future. Make memories to good music. Invest in quality headphones. Always make a soundtrack. Because pretty soon you won't be listening to music, you'll be listening to who you were.

Tonight’s playlist is important. It’s a retrospective. A greatest hits to accompany our last night together in the BIG SUCK. 

A milestone like this requires preparation - a schedule. One must think ahead to experience the now. These are the last hours of our high school affair. It’s romantic. I wanna say something light hearted, so I say…I bet one of us dies this time” -  Stacey Rockford
