i actually wrote this last night, but my email wasn't properly configured for the list. so, here it is now, enjoy. hello kids, i'm new here. have enjoyed reading you all and getting to know a couple of you. i've been giving myself the pleasure of picking a belle and sebastian song of the day. here are my choices the last few: friday-legal man saturday-ease yr feet in the sea sunday-there's too much love monday-lazy line painter jane tuesday-beautiful and now that it's wednesday, i can go ahead and Q up middle distance runner and sigh the rest of my night away. am 28. am Amy. am from michigan. someone at #sinister told me there was another girl from the Grand Rapids area on here... let yrself be known! #sinister. i've only been on there, maybe twice. i've been frequenting the jeepster room and have made some lovely kill the time with chat aquaintances there. wherever i am, you'll see me as "terryunderwear". yay. have 2 cats. one with 6 toes on each paw, named jack (kerouac). another shy love named (robert) deniro. why am i telling you this? because jack is pawing at me, begging for attention. so, i will give him the attention of 1500 some people. maybe that will satisfy. i love that you all seem to enjoy randomness, because i'm heavily supporting with this email :) other arteests i like besides belle and sebastian (i'm gonna try to keep it short): stereolab,billy bragg, go-betweens, sleater-kinney, palace, smiths, talulah gosh, shop assistants, billie holiday, built to spill, tortoise, sea and cake, astrud gilberto, radiohead, velvet underground, coltrane. i'll stop there, you get the general idea. stereolab's been my absolute favorite for years. will be going to my 7th lab show soon. so excited. i've never had the opportunity to see belle and sebastian, tho i reckon it would be quite the uplifting experience. i'm curious if anyone out there has an mp3 of belle and sebastian doing "alone again or" live. i'm so enchanted with the idea of them doing that song and am dying inside to hear it. please check out the love and damned versions, kids. it's a great song. i had just signed up here when the chicago meet up was being planned. i contacted a few of you about it, and i appreciate your responses and willingness to meet someone so new, in the nursery and all. it didn't work out for me to go since an old friend was coming around to visit, and i was becoming ill. another day... don't hesitate to contact for email chat. i've recently made the decision to move back to lansing, michigan. it's not all that "hip" or great of a place, but i'm drawn to it for some reason. i left my lil' northern hometown for lansing at 17. i made so many amazing friends there. at 22 i moved back home to help my ailing grandfather, thinking i'd move to chicago in another year. well, i'm still here. i've bought a home and all. no chicago. lots of small town minds and trees closing in on me. i love my trees. i don't like big big towns and cities, aside from visiting them. so many of my loved ones have been moving back to lansing over the years. i love it when i go there now. it says home to me. so, within about a year i'll be back. the last weekend i spent there was filled with so many good feelings. a friend with a baby on the way i don't want to miss out on, school is calling me back. i feel really good about this. i really like mix tapes. i'm not too sure about the whole rachel v wills thing for me, but if anyone wants to trade some stevie wonder induced mixes, i'm yr girl. oh, and you can't mind the scratch of vinyl either! with that, i will end this passage. do take care, amy +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
