Oh my! A few days of quietness, and New Album + Isobel = Flurry of Sinister posts! This is just another one. Okay, let's get this one out of the way. I recall first hearing "The Boy With the Arab Strap" all those years ago, and I just fell in love with Isobel's voice. And she turned out to be dead cute too. So I say she shall be missed. I don't think it will change an awful lot, but I really don't know. I came into my workplace, and my friend came up to me, put his hand on my shoulder, and said, "It's gonna be okay. Look what happened to the Clash!" I shudder to think. I read the Perks of Being a Wallflower on Sunday. I really enjoyed it. seemed very twee to me. Of course, I heard about it from the list, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Somebody mentioned why we're not angry about Isobel. The fact of the matter is, we're (for the most part, some of you are HARD AS FUCK) all sad bedroom devotees. When life gives us lemons, we just sit there and sulk about it, in the corner of the room, in a fetal position. Right? Also, people were attempting to define love. I thought they were very good. I must say, since that perfect someone (yes, i'm talking about YOU) just won't wake up and proclaim her love to me, I've found someone. I'm a bit smitten with her actually, although I probably shouldn't be. She is a Tool fan. No offense. She also has a twisted history with my friends. She used to date a girl who is both of my roommates ex-girlfriend. And I met her properly because a few months ago, she was dating a good friend of mine. What a tangled web we weave. However, I hung out with her for 6 hours yesterday, and I didn't have a single cigarette. I didn't even think twice about it. It was fantastic. We did basically nothing for 6 hours, and I didn't want a cigarette. For me, that's great. Usually, after about 2 hours I really want one. And by the 3 hour mark, I'm absolutely dying for one. I stop functioning, and all I can think about is that precious tobacco. Not with her though. Maybe this is a pre-sign for love? Maybe this is my definition for what love should be. I suppose it must be different for everyone. Although I think I'm far too cynical to ever really be in love. Or admit it, anyway. I worked in the record store monday, when the shipment of Storytelling came in. NOT that I sold them a day early (looks around for Jeepster spies) or anything, but it was great to pull out a big stack of BRAND NEW BELLE AND SEBASTIAN CD's. It's just one of the greatest feelings in the world. Or it should have been. This was about the time when the drink I had about 30 minutes before (on an empty stomach no less) started to kick in. They didn't TELL me it was their new Nicky Sixx, which is 6 layers of chocaltes and cherry stuff with 6 shots of espresso. I wasn't feeling too well after that. But I've bored you enough. I need to go back to ol' Glasgy around the end of July/early August to find a flat. Does anyone know a good resource for finding one? Or how long it will take to get one? I had more to say, honestly. But I can't remember. I've started something I couldn't finish. -Matt P.S. congrats to those betrothed sinisters. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
