Joan of Dark's story reminded me of my story(which she posted a long time ago, before I had a voice)... of yesterday. sitting in a random coffee shop. one occupied mainly by the mad rejects of the rest of the city. & i don't know why I go in there....only yesterday it was because I had to help my drunken friend pass out in the bathroom, and wait for her parents to pick her up.> and I was sitting at this table, and beside me this old man was talking to no one about nothing.> he turned to me and -- " do you like music?" me ----- "yes,," him---"well I have some good trivia for you. you know music from the 50's?"> me ---- "yes...some" him--"oh, well, this is some good trivia. some good good trivia"> he told me about buddy holly, and his record collection. he said he had hundreads of records.> this old man was so excited that I was talking to him. & the boy I was sitting with kept rolling his eyes, and wanted to leave becuz this ol' crazy was talking to us. i love all the stories that this old man made me think of. in my head. with all his records. i have hundreads of records too. i wonder if i will be asking a kid trivia in that coffee shop in fifty years. I think that is what I love most about Belle and Sebastian. It is so character driven. When I meet people I ususally think if they could be out of a B&S song. It is always impressive when they seem to be right out of one.. ------ today it is cool(and sunny) and windy , and I should be working on my entrance essay to university, but i get distracted so easily. so I drank my coffee and signed up to this list, and got excited about it. I hope it is as interesting as it sounds. the people here seem so wonderful. I am from Canada, and Monty Python's Meaning of Life is the most brilliant comedy movie I have ever seen. hullo. ,rob _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
