My first post. I never thought I would put so much time into thinking about it. Woo (: Hi, my name is Alice I joined this list because I feel isolated from the Belle and Sebastian team. While Long Island New York is a hotbed of activity *ha ha* I felt very out of the in circle. I joined this list because I thought it was simply a list of Belle and Sebastian fans (which i am). I had no clue it would be a list for writers (which i wish to be) all over the world. For the past two weeks I have read every post. I have loved the fact that as I was reading Trainspotting, loving the chapter where Spud empathizes with a squirrel, someone on this list mentions it. I love the fact that as I listened to Nick Drake's Way To Blue, the subject of one post was about him. And I have purple bowling shoes that I stole from wearing a pair of 99cent flipflops to the bowling alley. *though be careful, they grow suspicious when you ask for certain colors* Most of all, I love the fact that you all incorporate MUSIC into your lives in a completely hipster way. I saw Belle and Sebastian at RAH. I was probably standing right next to at least one of you! I was right in front, bopping like there was no tomorrow. I have been to a bunch of concerts, but I have never ever felt like that before. What I began to realize there was that I live in the wrong place. I don't mean that I should just leave and move to London, just that Long Island doesn't do it for me. I just don't dig lipliner My favorite part in any belle and sebastian song is probably during "put the book back on the shelf" You came to dance, but there's no poignancy When they all leave you standing alone just thought i'd share that. i guess i should leave with a quote or something. i dunno.hmmmmmmm "Do not do unto others as you would them do unto you. They might not have the same taste." -george bernard shaw peace love grilled cheese sandwiches and one ticket to the west coast, alice virginia ===== All of you who are leaders: Follow me __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
