Um, hello. There might be a bit about Dunfermline below, so don't read on if you don't want to. In fact, I just want to say that the Dunfermline gig was luuuuuurvely in all the best ways. I hope this doesn't make the rest of you all *too* jealous. There didn't seem to be that many list people there, though, mostly just all the other people who have already posted to say how lovely it was. Oh, and there was some woman from Birmingham, too. ListMummyLinda said that Belfast Bob was cute. She is right, as usual. Then again, *all* the band are cute in one way or another. Well, they are if you ask me. (you can tell i'm still excited that I've seen Belle and Sebastian play live, can't you! even two days later! Woooo!) (WOOOOO!) Incidentally, I discovered that my bee-atch flatmate is *scared* of Sinister people! I had an extremely Sinister person stay over in my spare bedroom after the gig, and my flatmate hid as soon as she heard us come in the door. Afterwards, she kept asking things like "were they psychos, then?" I shouldn't have told her that the person in question came from Falkirk; that probably made it worse. Yes, the old man with the Sousaphone is cute, too. I preferred the clarinettist, though, cos I'm one myself. Well, i used to be. My lips are all slack now, though. I thought it was a shame that lots of people stayed in the bar during the support act -- OK, you *might* have spotted me there yourself, but I only nipped out for a minute to buy some badges. The funny thing is that the flatmate is scary herself. Well, I'm scared of her. She takes advantage of my gullibility to make me lend her money. She has none of her own, cos she's too much of a lazy-assed bee-atch to sort herself out and tell the student loans people to stop taking it off her. Sorry, I'm ranting. I shall have to get a Proper Job, then I can start dropping hints that she moves out. Lots of people keep saying they're going to the Picnic on saturday. So many, I'm scared and I might not go myself. I'll be terrified. If i do go, though, i'm going to bake some cookies. Don't touch me if you're allergic to nuts or something. I amused myself, getting off the train at Dunfermline Town station, trying to spot all the gig-going people who didn't have a clue where they were and what way to go. I wanted to shout to them all: "The Carnegie Hall's *this* way!" I think some of them might have followed us anyway -- not only were we *obviously* B+S fans, but we looked like we knew where we were going! Playing the clarinet *does* give you muscly lips, honestly. Gah, I wish I had them all nicely toned still. Don't touch me if you're a vegan, either. I use butter when i'm baking. She's nasty to the cat too. "Evil bitch-cat from hell!" she says. OK, I wasn't *too* sure where I was going, but I think I found the almost-shortest route there. It was nice and scenic, anyhow, and we had to stand outside for ages waiting for the doors to open anyhow. DING! Ooh, there goes the timer. I can stop writing now. The flatmate is out tonight, so I can lounge on the sofa in my favourite clothes listening to Belle and Sebastian. Reason B) to get a Proper Job: getting a proper stereo too. After all, there's nothing on the telly. I'm still not sure if Stuart M is cuter. He gets extra Cute Points for definitely being in the band, though. And his dancing just makes me smile. The cat's cute, too. Far too cute to be *nasty* to. I think i'd better be going. I've said *far* too much nonsense now. love xx gneissy -- Will Salt http://www.btinternet.com/~wpsalt/ ICQ 66321009 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
