This PowerPoint presentation makes the case for why the recipient should give the creator, Maddie, a second chance. It includes a playlist of songs explaining their history and connection, along with explanations of inside jokes and imagined scenarios of them together. It lists the pros of being together, which only includes positives with no cons listed. It includes a chart showing increasing happiness over time if they were together. The presentation hopes the recipient will see Maddie before she leaves.

1. WHY WE SHOULD TRY
AGAIN
A powerpoint by Maddie Shipsides

POWERPOINT-ING

 Just press play all, it might be a bit laggy, and I
think Wait Up doesn‟t work, but we‟ll see. All
the songs have significance. I‟ll give you a little
explanation for each one.

3. We‟ve been “friends” for a long
time!
THAT‟S 5+ MONTHS BECAUSE WE WEREN‟T
FACEBOOK FRIENDS FOR A WHILE AND
THAT‟S A BIG DEAL

4. IN A CAVE
TOKYO  This song reminds me of you and
POLICE
CLUB all our text wars of back and forth
lyrics to awesome songs, “you‟re
my cave and I‟ve been hiding out” is
just, about where you were in my
life and how much I liked you, and
how I hid in that hope that maybe
someday we could be together
even if you pushed me away.

5. We„ve been “friends” for a long
time!
I TALKED TO YOU ON TUMBLR THAT ONE TIME

6. Things That Mean A lot To Me

M
 This was supposed to be us, in the bus station
or wherever we meet for the first time, and this
is what it was supposed to be like.
 And I know you know what I mean.

7. WAIT UP (BOOTS OF
DANGER)
TOKYO  The whole persona of the song is kind
POLICE of like, a changed relationship, one
CLUB person falls in love and the other one
falls out. I think that‟s us? I still have
all these delusions of what I want to
happen that won‟t and you‟re just
doing your thing. I still want you to
“introduce me to your friends, with the
music and the lights and everything” (I
always imagined us meeting up at a
concert and meeting eachothers
friends), and I still want to be “making
up for lost time, making it with me” (I‟m
still rooting for us, and want us to
make it.)

8. This Was Supposed To Be Us
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PObS8kK08

 They made it work, why can‟t we.

9. END OF A SPARK
TOKYO  “we will always be newly weds”
POLICE
CLUB  “a flash in the dark” – I was sad,
and you made me really fucking
happy.
 I just always thought if we were
going to be a movie, this would be
the music in our trailer. We‟d rock
the boxoffice.

10. Expectations of us meeting for the
first time
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscr
een&NR=1&v=XwMHz5CNjBs
 Context, you and whichever one of your
friends you prefer are packing up to come to
Toronto, and he bails last minute and so does
my friend, but we go anyways. And we meet at
the bus station and there's some much long-
awaited couple stuff going on

11. KISS CAM
 “our love never needed any pretty scenery”
ARKELLS (scenery meaning that there probably wasn‟t
any scenery, let alone a pretty one, meaning
we never saw eachother)
 “true love is always complicated, your friends
never liked me much at all” (we live kilometers
apart, that‟s pretty complicated – and lol haley
hates us.
 “at a time you were kissing me, the camera
caught chemistry, cheering for us in the cheap
seats” – there WAS chemistry there, right?
 I just really love kiss cam, I really love the
arkells, I really love you

12. What would happen if you don‟t
give me a second chance
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgC2rY5cjBs
 Context is, basically, we meet at a county fair
after not talking for a few months… and for
some reason you‟re eating hay alone in a
corner and I‟m not wearing a shirt and there‟s
clearly some sexual tension.

13. I‟M NOT THE SUN
ARKELLS  “your eyes light up, always the same,
just like I was taking you on a first
date, give me a reason for feeling this
way.” (you always had the brightest
eyes, you‟re always so shiny and
happy, and I always wished for that
first date where I could hold your hand
for real and touch something real.
Give me a reason for feeling this way
means validate this whole thing, I don‟t
want this to be some dream I had,
where we both walk away like none of
it actually happened. Make it real.”

14. YOU LOOK ASIAN AND I‟M SLEEPING
Late night skype-ing at it‟s finest.

15. TRANSATLANTICISM
DEATH CAB  I NEED YOU SO MUCH CLOSER
FOR CUTIE

16. YOU MAKE FUN OF ME
And I love it (I was being hitler)

17. CAN‟T HELP FALLING IN
LOVE
INGRID  From the trailer for Like Crazy, so I
MICHAELS associate it with both that movie
ON
(couple tries to make it work long
(ELVIS
COVER) distance, meet other people, but find a
way back to each other) and with the
lyrics, obviously. “wise men say only
fools rush in” maybe we were stupid
for rushing into something that maybe
couldn‟t work. “Some things are meant
to be, so won‟t you please just take my
hand” (maybe WE‟RE meant to be)

18. PROS AND CONS

PowerPoint is probably getting long
and tedious and creepy.

21. A FAMOUS MUSICIAN‟S INPUT

making you a PowerPoint. She must like you an awful
lot, dude. Just sayin’, you should probably give her a
chance, man.”
