squeeze the pulse from your sweetdarling's fingers jiveturkies, all hell in a well-satiated diper just broke loose from the sinister-fied nursery! *whiping tears & tomatoes from his cheeks* sorry, no more rapping, promise. well alright then, surpose we commence with a great big introduction to the freeze-dried entity you should all come to know as Tobie. shall we get started? *ignores 1100 sighs* good . .. i come from Los Angeles California, which, i regret to inform you all, is NOT underwater as of yet, but rest assured, were working on it. ive been on earth planet for 21 years [too long] now. i heard my first Belle And Sebastian song, Get Me Away From Here Im Dying, about 2 months ago and up until that magical day i wouldnt say i didnt "believe" in love-at-first-sight, but i never had a reason to concider it, you dig what im saying, mama? B&S is so me, i can honestly bring myself to the verge of tears just from the melodies of their tunes. i already possess Arab Strap, Sinister, Lazy Line Painter Jane, & Dog On Wheels. my other two favorite bands of all time are Pavement & Mansun. and i wanna be british really really bad and stuff, yes. well look here, im not certain just how long that nursery soiree lasted, but it seemed an eternity and i only had to stand by and watch about a hundred threads pass me up and all i could do was squirm and bite my nails to the cuticles with anticipation. so im going to let fly a few responces to things that might be a bit dead by now, but ill keep 'em brief, scouts honor . . .. ((One)) DR PEPPER, FULL STOP !! ! ! all you pro-Pepperers out there, you made my day, way to go. im headed for Texas in July and greatly anticipating my trip to the Dr Pepper factory. anybody that will be in Texas during that time should surely get at me. indeed, starting now im organizing a B&S picnic/Dr Pepper plant tour, so ALL ABOARD! were also concidering hosting a Lou Barlow birthday party on the 17th of July, which, if happens at all, will be in Texas as well. ((Oneandahalf)) umm, knowhat i began writing my thoughts on those FunkySeb[aceous] half-steppin' shenanigans, but it wasnt pretty and i started getting a terrible pain directly behind my purpley mascara from rolling my eyes, so lets just move on then shall we .. .. ((Two)) i feel, dispite the 1100 brothers and sisters, primates and space-aliens out there, nobody here should feel it unfitting to post all those puny details of their daily journies. thats the real swig of the stew for me, and i cant imagine there arent tons of you that would love hearing the wack-o shit that happens to your fellow Sebanites [pronounced "seb-ba-nites" -- dont it sound futuristic?!!]. well thats my stupid oppinion anyway. some B&S stuff, just for the heck of it: has anyone heard Velvet Underground's 'I Cant Stand It' ? holy halfnakedcatholicschoolgirls, the intro for that tune is identical to that of 'Lazy Line Painter Jane' . and am i the only one that heard the first bit from 'A Space Boy Dream' as "i dreamt i had to go up me arse"? and ummm, okay i give up, just what in god's awful name is an arab strap? no really, i mean it, im never this loquacious. this is just the first place im actually convinced that i not only 'fit-in' but could quite possably stand a chance at being accepted. just finding out that im not the only poor sod who's lips freeze shut when it comes down to any sort of public engagment has given me confidence to tackle [er maybe throw pebbles at from a safe distance] the world. oh pants, ill shut it now. have a pleasant day, my loving sweathearts! tobiesoup _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
