From what i have been reading in the archives it seems everyone here is friendly which puts my mind at ease

"A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct" There seems to have been quite a few 'first posts' in the last couple of days so I thought I would try and slip my own is subtly, hoping nobody will notice if I make a fool of myself. Its surprisingly scary getting that e-mail form Honey's computer. I have felt like I have been eavesdropping on someone else's conversation for the last couple of weeks but now I have been found out, and suddenly I need to come up with my own opinions and contributions. I have been sat here for the last fifteen minutes thinking about what i should type, ou know what they say about first impressions! that you wont hold it against me if this turns out too crazy like. Incidently reading all the past posts for the last couple of months has been a welcome distraction from the so called important process of revision I have been avoiding these past few weeks. Exams are over now which is good, (I'm was silly enough to chose a degree course in which exams in my first and second year count to the total mark i get). Ok, so before i get too off-topic I should really talk about Belle and Sebastian, whom I have had a private love affair with for the past few years. My bigest regret is that i only came across Sinister so recently! Unfortunatly I have not had the pleasure of seeing the band live (yet!) but hopefully they will play somewhere within easy train travelling distance of London in the near future...... Mabey after the new album cmes out (anyone know when thats likely to be?). In the meantime I will continue to wait with baited breath. On the plus side, I did recently see The Frames at the Union Chapel, and they were superb! They don't play in England too often, but to any of you lucky lucky Sinister type people with Glasonbury tickets I would highly recomend you take the oppertunity to see them then. I may not be going to Glastonbury, but I do have the picnick in Hyde park to look foward to. I have to say that i'm more than a little scared though as being such a new member I wont know anyone there! Of course meeting new people is always fun (especially B&S types) but definatly scary. So, I encourage anyone who is anywhere near London to come along on saterday, am I going to be the only newbie there? I hope not! On that note I will leave you all in peace for now, to the lucky festival goers I would ask you all to spare a thought for those less fortunate when you are setting your tents up.... -Chris. ps. If anyone knows of any London like events/bands etc coming up then feel free to let me know, my social callender seems awfullly bare this summer :( ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
