it's been a while. i've been meaning to post off and on since mid-june, but always due to immediate embarassment as to what i was feeling or thinking, or the repulsiveness i found with my keyboard, i put it off. so here i am. and what do i say now? what really must i say? well i'll try my best. listen: i was standing in the queue (i have no other way to describe it) to enter my english class when a girl said 'hey, is that a belle and sebastian shirt?'. i of course had my stow shirt on. i was totally flabergasted. i didn't know anyone at wake forest had a soul. much to my chagrin i realized that they aren't all paper clowns. (settle down blake, lets not get bitter). but the girl went on to say that she thought the new one wasn't as good as TBWTAS. i really didn't have a rebuttal. i had no need to rebut. i was still very floored. listen: i saw the who three times this summer and i will see them twice more before the year is over and i recommend everyone to go see them. sure it's not the 70s but they still put on the best show around. i can only do so much, i realize. listen: there are two bands that i will now inquire if they're popular or not to you all? they are: phish and sunny day real estate. i suspect there may be more SDRE fans here than phish. phish were my favorite band when i was a freshman in high school so i went out and bought some of their albums again, after i sold them last year (business is not my strong suit, you see). they are at times very pretty, but i can't see why i liked them so so much. as for SDRE i've been told to go buy the one before the rising tide about a thousand times. but it wasn't there, so i bought the rising tide. i've actually seen these guys in concert and jeremy enigk's voice is just terrific. i just thought i'd let everyone know. listen: i'm sure many of us have had experience with this debacle. having a crush on a tease. a self annointed tease, no less. so what does one do? do the niceties and generally darling things this person does implant themselves in your skull as abnormal and specifically for you? or are they just very normal advances/niceties that you (I) should not take seriously. it's a tough line to walk on. too bad we can't all just smooch uninhibated. i am going to make soup. may your fall be warmer than usual. love the nerdy shy-eyed pacifist blake http://members.tripod.com/nucleartrout +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
