once again, i make use of the song i'm listening to to pick a topic. don't worry, not feeling unduly homicidal today, i just thought you lot would be missing my charming posts. and yes, they *are* charming dammit! anyway, first off i've got some ink polaroids: *this one's a little dark cause it was taken at the ivy show last night and the lighting wasn't very good. the three of us in the foreground and laurel, michele and myself. laurel and michele have just met and are speaking rather animatedly. i'm motioning off to the side for brian to come over. he's sitting in the corner, talking to heidi (his roommate who isn't on the list). i'm trying to get him to meet michele, though he's never spoken to him in chat. *here's a picture of me and laurel and ben. ben is looking fairly animated cause he's talking with the "lads" about "football" at a "pub". laurel and i are kind of bored off in the corner, and trying to amuse one another with fascinating tidbits. we're so close to one another cause there weren't enough chairs, and we're sharing one. she's also sort of sharing with ben, so it's pretty squishy. you may notice that our nails are painted the same sparkly blue. that's cause we were at my room earlier and gossiping and painting our nails. we both wanted the same polish, so we match. *the last picture for today is taken at the time cafe. brian, john (another intern) and i were working. john's the goth boy next to me who laurel said was too cool, but he's really just a sillyhead like us. laurel and ben are off to the side. we're all sort of falling over the table, especially me cause it's been a rough first day after spring break. the mostly empty plates are the remains of our dinner, which laurel is sort of eating off of cause she's really going to eat with ben, but sort of hungry right now. laurel, ben, and john are giving a knowing smile cause brian and i are bickering across the table as usual. but we all look rather amused with the whole situation. so that will have to satisfy for now. however, there are upcoming meetings with rach and dina this weekend, so you lot will be favored with more charming polaroids as the listees begin to come together. also, about all this bitching, i dont' see the point. paul is a wonderful list owner, and a lovely honey and we should all send him kisses by express mail. for no particular reason, just cause he's such a cutiepie (as amanda will surely verify with "proof" soon) and it's always fun to send letters. and of course the list will get bitchy at times, there are over 500 people, and some are bound to be poopieheads. but when i think of all the loverly, marvelous people here, i get all happy. plus i know how to use my delete button and do, often. sure some postings are dull to some people, i particularly don't care at all for music history, but oh well. there are plenty of lovely posts from the known posters whose writings i look for, and others by new listees who are quite amusing. so really, i don't see the point of worrying. oh, one more thing, i expect more ink polaroids of the kids meeting up in london this weekend!!! and for those listees who are new or a little shy, please post and come to the meet ups. they're happening all over the world (on two continents at least) and i know that we aren't cliquish people and always ready to meet new and lovely belle and sebastian fans! xox megan mkl206@is8.nyu.edu visit the magnetic fields web page at: http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
