hello people i've been back for about a week now since my beastly dissertation has been finaly put to death. to be honest since its been handed in i suddenly have lots of time on my hands and not so much stuff to do with it. so i've been a tad depressed really - so i rejoined the mailing list! actually i joined lots of mailig lists - robyn hitchcock, xtc, teenage fanclub and beth orton - just so i look really popular whenever i check my e.mails. and i have come to a conclusion. other lists may have more deep philosophicla conversations or musings on politics and life, but none of them *not one* of them are as nice as you lot are. i mean they are all nice bods and all that and i have only just been musing the delights of krazy kat with the fegmaniax list. but sinister is teh only list i get the impression from that you actually care for each other. i look forward to reading these e.mails. i love it when someone tells me that they have a crush on a girl but are too shy to tell them or whatever - because i live these things too. i wish i could go to the london picnic cos i tell you people without meaning to get all dewey eyed you are all (and especially one person who has been most kind in listening to my ramblings - yuou know who you are :-) !!) this is such a wonderfullist to be on. occasionally you might get in strops with each other and scrap and whatever but oh i dunno. i just like it lots here. i'll miss it at teh end of june.. whoever it was that was saying that all belle and sebastian fans should be fragile wallflowers and whatever. it ain't true really. b&s may be a quiet band but what grabs me about them is their vividness. the songs speak, they unfurl - as soon as i heard fox in the snow i had an image. and not of a fox either. maybe these images are different for different people but it shows that b&s are a band that make people feel *passionately* about them. a band that doesn't insult your intelligence - but inspires you to use it. i'm a rambling. but basically i want to say thanks. i can be a bit manic by nature my moods swinging from tree to tree like whatever but i know i will always smile when i read a sinister e.mail. sorry i've gone on! hope you didn't mind me all just waffling on. i don't e.mail much so humour me when i do! i'm off to make some toast.. thanks again people! chris ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
