help with ipod engraving (what to put)

[twoodcc]

so i'm getting my g/f an ipod nano for xmas, and i want to engrave something on the back that she'll really like. i know it really has to come from me, but if anyone would like to help me out, that'd be great.

i sure hope she doesn't find macrumors anytime soon :eek:

[Iscariot]

"I love you, not for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you."

[119576]

'songs for an angel'

*vom*

but seriously. we don't know the kind of person you are; hopeless romantic? tough-guy?


don't engrave anything like '[your name + her name 4eva]' though. :rolleyes:

[twoodcc]

ok, we are both runners, and i'd for it be somewhat motivating. not really sure what i mean though. something that could be motivating for our relationship and for anything in life, like running.

hope that makes sense

I'd suggest 'always go the distance'.
But it sounds like a semi-marriage-proposal...hah.

[twoodcc]

well it looks like there are 29 characters and 2 lines, so a total of 58 characters.

it could be from a song as well. i want it to be really good

well. think of some songs you both like.
then find a motivational lyric.

you're set. :cool:

thanks, i'm trying. no luck so far.

what about this: "Anything worth while will not come easy."

i kinda like it, but i'd have to have something else to go with it on the second line

[twoodcc]

well here are the lyrics to "our" song:

"Baby you're all that I want.
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven.

Oh, thinking about all our younger years,
There was only you and me,
We were young and wild and free.
Now nothing can take you away from me.
We’ve been down that road before,
But that's over now.
You keep me coming back for more.

Baby you're all that I want.
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven.

And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart.
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven.

Now, nothing could change what you mean to me.
There's a lot that I could say
But just hold me now,
Cause our love will light the way.

Baby you're all that I want.
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven.

And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart.
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven.

Now our dreams are coming true.
Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standing there by you.

(We’re in heaven.)

And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart.
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven. "

see anything in there?

[119576]

That's good for running! And everything else, actually. You've got me thinking about stuff now, damn you!

I don't know what could go on the second line.


[edit] Anything from that song would work nicely.

'Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standing there by you'

[motownflip]

good luck man. I'm sure you'll come up with something.

[Bern]

How about this...

"Don't Steal Music! If found return this iPod to (insert name and number)"

[Roy Hobbs]

Engraving is LAME

[notjustjay]

"Error: engraving text not found"

[twistedlegato]

Oh...I was hoping to give my best engraving idea.


Harmful if Swallowed :D:D

How about...I'll walk the distance

[twoodcc]

thanks, that's actually a good part of the song. should i go with that, or the running quote and another quote on the second line?

good luck man. I'm sure you'll come up with something.

thanks, i sure hope so.

and to the ones who don't like engraving or whatever. i'm not big on it either, but i know that she'll love it (if i come up with something good)

[119576]

That's your choice I'm afraid! :D

[twoodcc]

That's your choice I'm afraid! :D

thanks. what about this:

“True love is like a pair of socks: you gotta have two and they've gotta match.”

kinda catchy i guess. a witty one would work also. not sure about this one though.

[letsgorangers]

i would definitely go for something more running related rather than relationship related. if you break up, she's not going to want to use it with some quote about unending love on the back.

[Luis]

Harder. Better. Faster. Stronger.


A la Daft Punk for those that don't get the reference.

well i doubt that's going to happen (but it could)

this will be our 7th xmas together. probably thinking about marriage in a year or 2

sorry i didn't mean to insinuate that a break up WOULD happen, just that there is aways a possibility.

i liked luis' suggestion.

if you're still stumped, there's always beatle's lyrics :o

[eric55lv]

Happy xmas from and then your name

[Sayewhat]

Holly (rap. I was with my wife for 5 years before we married. I thought that was a long time.

How about - Run until battery is dead or three hours. Which ever is first. :D

[iBlue]

oh man, I can't stand all the cheese! :eek:

how about something simple

"Merry Christmas [your chica's name here]

Love, [your name here]"



or, maybe:

"You and me baby we ain't nothin' but mammals..." (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bloodhoundgang/thebadtouch.html)

"Love, the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket."

:D

[119576]

And we have a winner.

[twoodcc]

And we have a winner.

it's alright. i don't think she'd like it that much though

[xodonniedarko]

well here are the lyrics to "our" song:

"Baby you're all that I want.

(We’re in heaven.)

see anything in there?

That was a DDR song :D

I know a girl that got her name and phone # engraved.
While that wouldn't be 'romantic', it could sure be useful.
I wish I had gotten my number engraved :/

You could always do that, or just write
"To my baby, from (your name here)"

Or, like I said, keep the engraving simple, then write her a super mushy card :)

[xodonniedarko]

Harder. Better. Faster. Stronger.


A la Daft Punk for those that don't get the reference.

Really? Daft Punk?
I thought that was Kanye West :p

[Schtumple]

No he just covered it in mildly annoying rap.

[Stampyhead]

'Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standing there by you'
That's good, but you need to alter it so it's about running:

'Through the good times and the bad
I'll be running away from you'
Oh wait... ;)

[Rhosfelt]

oh man, I can't stand all the cheese! :eek:

how about something simple

"Merry Christmas [your chica's name here]

"You and me baby we ain't nothin' but mammals..." (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bloodhoundgang/thebadtouch.html)

:D

bloodhound gang = romantic

"Turn me on i'm Mr. Coffee with an automatic drip"

[SXR]

"I love you, not for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you."

This one's great . But it would fit on a Macbook , not a nano i think.

"You own" ? Kidding.

My heart is in your pocket. Oh crap i suck at this.

[adroit]

"screen's on the other side"

[Brianstorm91]

"screen's on the other side"
Winner!

On another note.
Good thing I'm not cheap,
else you'd have gotten a Zune.

[furious]

What about 'seize the day' or the Latin equivalent

[Luis]

Carpe Diem is it?

I like it.

[furious]

I think that is it. :confused:

Thats genius.

Unfortunately I heard the K.W. version first but then discovered the beauty of the original.

[pianoman]

a derivation from the song you posted:

love is all that i need
and i found it in your heart

[twoodcc]

a derivation from the song you posted:

love is all that i need

that is another good one. i'm still not sure if i want something that "luvy duvy"

[twoodcc]

i could do the famous Prefontaine one:

"To give anything less than your best
is to sacrifice the gift."

what do you think?

[SXR]

Winner!

On another note.

LOL Excactly , Zune Zucks

[Love]

No he just covered it in mildly annoying rap.

ROFLMAO! :P

[PowerFullMac]

"Error: engraving text not found"

That needs to be engraved on a Zune.

[pianoman]

well this is what i'm going with. already placed the order. thanks

[twoodcc]

I prefer the KW version personally...
