Hello Sinister Kids! I was notified last week that I had done my time in the nursery, and since today is my 28th birthday (does this make me one of the old folks here?), I'm at work, I'm bored, & the sun is out, I've decided to introduce myself. The sun being out in January has distracted me to the point of only being able to think in fragments, so hopefully these few fragments will give you a glimpse into my dark, dark soul. *I live in the Seattle area, and I know exactly two-and-a-half other B & S fans. *I do not have a "twee" personality at all, and I cannot explain or defend my L-O-V-E (that's right, all caps) of Belle & Sebastian, but I really, really do. *I did not vote for George W. Bush. *I am obsessed with Jim Reid (formerly of the Jesus & Mary Chain, currently of Freeheat). *In my travels, I have concluded that Edinburgh has the most hunky boys per square mile than anywhere else I've been, and I'm including the greater Los Angeles area & London in that statement. You Scottish gals are lucky, lucky lasses! *Strange B & S moment #1: this last summer, two days after "Fold Your Hands..." came out, I found myself in the emergency room. As I was laying in the hospital bed waiting for a doctor I had "The Wrong Girl" on a continous loop in my head. Strangely, this experience did not sully this song for me, and it still makes me smile. *Strange B & S moment #2: I tried to act out "Seeing Other People" a few months ago. Actually, he was seeing someone else, and I had just been dumped by his roomate (yikes!). Half a bottle of Jameson whiskey later, and all bets were off. My advice: do not try this at home. *Quote about the first Looper album that I liked so much that I cut it out & put it in the jewel case: "The only Scottish bands that should be saved from fire are Prolapse and the Jesus & Mary Chain. Jim Reid never wrote songs about his sheep escaping & having to chase it over the glen. Sing about guns and coke machines and girls in black leather, ya wee gadge!" By the way, I really like the Looper album. That's enough. As I get to know everyone better my posts will be more meaningful. As I said, it's sunny here in Seattle, and that makes it difficult to think straight. I'm sure you cats in the UK can sympathise. XOXOXO, Jen ===== Come to Disc Go Round in East Bremerton!
