Hi all, Oh yay, picnic, hurray! I'm going, but don't let that stop you. Casarotto has gone and organised a tigermilking the same day and I'm upset with him because I can't go because I already have to go to a party and I can't get out of the party because it's mine. I was 17 a little while ago and I have arranged to have people over to my house to get drunk, yay. The other good news in Belle and Sebastian are releasing a single. But wait, it gets better - it's got the loneliness of a middle distance runner which is a great song and the other b side is called "Take your carriage clock and SHOVE IT", which is such a fantastic song title. jeepsternews actually managed to inform me of all this (just) before anyone else, which is amazing because they're famously crap, and it's even more amazing because I don't remember signing up to jeepsternews. The best news is me and Dafyd are going to see a band called belle and sebastian in glasgow. I don't know how we'll afford train tickets, particularly Daf who is flying across the ocean later on in the summer, I wish I had the money to do that. Just quickly now - are drugs twee? It's just a question, but you see I'm very clean and I kind of like this girl who does a lot of pot...hmm.. No I'll stop that story before I get all fey and pathetic on you like everyone hates. You can make it up for yourself.. nervous boy.. pretty girl.. unrequited love etc etc. Oh well. I think Belle and Sebastian should do a cover of "Just Say No" by the cast of grange hill, because you shouldn't do drugs. There seems to be a new wave of anti-smoking ads for kids or something here in the UK. I keep seeing adverts on TV with kids doing "hard" stuff but not smoking. Gawd. They didn't manage to stop me smoking (completely) and I'm an obedient little boy. Suggesting that you go to under-18s nightclubs and breakdance instead of smoking is hardly going to win over the hard kids, now, is it. Bye the way I'm a closet smoker please don't tell my mum. I don't really smoke, filthy habit. I'm going to stop before this gets long again because I'm sure no-one reads very far down. Byebye darling James, P.S. Lyric contest - song name and band for the subject line. I'm sure it's too easy so I don't want entries but if you get it right think to yourself "I know a cool song, which makes me cool, but I know the lyrics to it, which makes me a sad music nerd", and make yourself a little prize, a cup of coffee perhaps - you are still quite cool, we all get lyrics in our heads, it's not really that bad. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
