Hello everyone. My name is ryan and this is my first post. I promised myself to save this wonderfully special moment(smiles) until i had a reason to introduce myself. And after reading david's wonderful essay on the definition of twee...or at least his interpretation...i feel awfully refreshed and am deciding to post. I can't continue without saying i am a little tiny bit anxious being a newcomer, but everyone just seems so gosh darn nice and twee... Really i don't have much more to add besides i am about to turn 22, love to write and play music, live in New Jersey(ugh), and am obviously quite into Belle and Sebastian. About that post, though...there was just something about the eloquence of david's post that...well...it's a bit brilliant, i think anyway. Thats all. I wish a had a great story to tell ...or at least a funny joke, but for now i'll take my chances with this ridiculously bland first attempt at making new friends with other B&S enthusiasts(its quite hard to find them around here). with love and other warm feelings, ryan +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
