Dear Sinister, I suppose posting a few times then going back to hiding is not a proper way to join the club and make friends, now is it? So this is my comeback attempt. I will try and make it on the level of John Tavolta in Pulp Fiction, instead of John Travolta in Battlefield Earth. Or perhaps David Cassidy, if I could achieve his fame, imagine all the sweet lovin' I'd get! Ok....enough about teen idols because I could go on forever about the tight white pants of Leif Garret...... I actually have Belle and Sebastian related things to say! So, I was delighted to get my Nintendo (original gangsta' style of 1988 Hannukah) and played mario three all afternoon! How I adore Mario and the gang! I couldnt wait to get to level six because mario was in his racoon costume and it is the snow level! Well, I was excited because I really thought it was a fox costume and I could play "fox in the snow" along to it, but then my brother burst my bubble and told me it was a racoon. But I sacrificed accuracy for a Belle and Sebastian experience. Wonder if Stu ever played Mario, Stevie would certainly be Luigi! I'm always rooting for the underdog, and Luigi was more the tall, dark and handsome type..... The other day, at school, this boy was telling me I reminded him of someone familiar. I was waiting for the inevitable comparison of my long blond hair and tan bod to britner spears, but alas he told me I resembled Gargamel, the bad guy who was always trying to catch the Smurfs. OK, first I was a little frightened. But then he explained why: because when I'm not smiling, I look like I'm plotting something "sinister"!! He actually called me Sinister. Little does he know.... I'm listening the new single now (shhhh!) and I wanted to comment on Stuart's voice on "im waking up to us". Is that Stuart!? Or does it sound much deeper than anything you could imagine coming from Stu's mouth? For some reason, I imagine him singing with facial hair sprouting up. But seriously, he's soulfull. And if it isnt stuart singing, I have no idea who it could be. Bobby? Its really a wonderful EP!! Though I burned all my EPs onto two discs so I felt like i had two new Belle and Sebastian albums. And now disc two is out of date already!! I'm starting an imaginary club for Sinister kids. Those of us 20 and under. We'll embrace each other in our underage bliss. I just like to imagine frollicing with Astrid and Jenowl. Oh, and a Sinister love connection club! Because, is it just my imagine or do Belle and Sebastian fans seek out mates who are belle and sebastian fans more than any other band? I mean, Radiohead fans dont necessarily look for booty shakin' with other Radiohead fans. Or do they? Maybe its just me. So, speaking of love, why do I have to? But I'm putting a question out there and I appreciate any advice I get! Me and the Boy have broken up, seems permanently this time. I've spent the last month trying to move on, and he already has. A Pennsylvania boy has gotten my attention. But I dont know if I'm over the Boy, but Penn. boy could certainly help with that. Bad part: I'm in california, and I could visit him over winter break. I'm horribly nervous, do I go? We email every day and talk on the phone quite a bit. Oh, love is strange!
