"rush of hormones"?? what indeed could have caused such a stir? now i'm red in the face. *sigh* can anyone explain why Isobel Campbell's name is on the crush list, but no one else from the band is, what does that mean? regardless, i shall vote for her forthwith, even if it will eat away at my own ratings. can i vote for the PHotojenny/Amelia girl? i WISH she was on the list, she did look rather sinister. never mind. i'm getting up right now and going to find her. but till then... osrry it must have slipped my mind to put up the isobel link, i figured it would be easy to get to cos it's on my b/s photo page, but the URL for isobel campbell's Wee World of worship is: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Atrium/4967/isobel.html and i have it on good word that the b/g is indeed, a lovely shade of blue and not frighteningly shocking pink as i had feared, so all is well. now that everyone's slagging The Gate, i'm all psyched for how much i'm going to like it, cos i'm the contrary type. oh i should really go try to fix my liquid audio player so i can hear the damned thing. jeez i'm slow.

and be reminded when you visit the site of all things Isobel, that i am in request of stories, links, poems, thoughts, dirty dreams, and anything you can come up with on the dapper lass, i will put it up for all to see. Chris Leonard, your poem was lovely! that's the sort of thing we like over at IsobelGeek HQ. students, take note. I like rollercoaster ride.

per carmen "I am A Punk Goddess".....belle and seb are twice as punk as gg allin, aren't they? any baby, moron, or dog can lose control of their bodily functions in public. it takes a real man to wax sentimental about quilted jackets and clogs, sing effeminately and wear silver trousers, in revolt against the (yes) vicariously claimed "punk" ethic of pre-millenial life. eat your heart out, marilyn manson. i've always believed the true punks were the quiet ones nursing affection for all those rejected things. anyone can cop a bad attitude, sentimentality is the wave of the revolution. VIVA LA REVOLUCION and dont' smack me for calling them twee, i dont' see any necessarily exclusionary factor in being both sentimental and sweet, and simultaneously "rocking'. I wouldn't call them wimps though. it takes an iron constitution to be so recklessly gorgeous.

i woke up this AM witht he sinking feeling that i was late for class again, but it didnt' much matter because i felt sick as a dog anyway. still i am guilty as i realized how badlyl i am going to suck this semester as far as missing my classes and beign a lardy git, even though i have only 3 classes, yes my life is sad indeed. my cat jumped up onto my bed and i could feel my stress rate lowereing as i patted her silky ears, funny yes? and the song popped into my head, "I left my school i left my job.." and i remembered every messes up now and then, and stuart lives in a church, and things can be beautiful, and i felt this glorious peace. so i threw my homework on

fire and went back to sleep and when i woke up i ran off to go take

at the catholic seminary, and stayed up all night writing DC stories for my zine, and gave up my school to become a full time professional mooching lazybones. thus, the Pernicious Entartente-Musik du Belle and Sebastian does assuage my ambition and cause me to become complacent in my bad fit with society, therefore sinking further into the anonymity and my flaming desire for individuality is effectively submerged beneath the waves of proletarian work ethic and bureaucracy. Thus, the State continues in all its glory. Hail mother country!
