I'm chewing my nicotine gum rather furiously right now. I woke up in a bad mood, a really selfish angry mood. I've been feeling quite moody for a week.Initially, it was PMT. I hate PMT. it sort of creeps up on me. I should expect it, but I don't. its a relief when I realise what it is, and that I'm not loosing my mind, I'm just undergoing hormone wars. But I've been feeling a bit odd for the past few days. I'd scream, just to ven it, just to feel better again, but people would ask questions. I need to find a place I can scream and rage in peace and quiet and not raise eyebrows. In my first year at university, I used to lock the door to my bedroom, and trash it. Properly trash it, throw furniture that waasn't secured around the room, tip my bed over. It was a very satisfying method of relieving tension and aggression and just getting it out of my system. Until one day, my flatmates went and called the resident tutor and security, and they opened the door to my room with a key and saw how trashed my room was. Its better than bottling it up. Problem with living near other people, or living in towns and cities is that there are very few places you can just go and thrash out your feelings in such a wild way, without worrying people. I've learnt that long walks tend to pull out my feelings and release the tension. I've got a driving lesson later today, so I'll have to calm down for that. The ticket posts are boring me to death right now. List auntie asked you to stop, or post something more than just a few lines long. You ignored her. The ticket sellers/ buyers are probably in the minority, but posting the most. This is my personal feelings about it. I understand you're probably anxious to see Belle And Sebastian, or keen to get rid of spare tickets for whatever reason. But as far as I'm concerned, this tour has lasted a while now, and the important bit- when I got to see them- is long over. The rest doesn't matter to me. I like reading the gig reviews or picnic reports, its interesting, and everyone can appreciate it. But the ticket thing has so very little to do with me, and possibly little to do with most people. You're clogging up my inbox, and I reckon that there will be a vast majority of people on the list who won't be bothering to read their digests or whatever because they'll be expecting more of the ticket buying/selling posts that really don't interest them. It'll probably be at a peak of ignoring the posts, and people getting bored. So please stop boring me, I don't give a sh*t about tickets. The problem is, that Belle And Sebastian are going to be playing at festivals this summer as well, so I'm anticipating that peoples anxiety over getting tickets to see their favourite band will continue right through until August. Maybe I'm alone on this one, but I don't want this to continue until belle and sebastian stop for a bit. I'm glad they're touring. I'm glad people are getting a chance to see them. This is the second tour in under a year, and they seem to be playing at venues and countres they couldn't fit in previously to their last schedule. Its good, its all very very good. Its a very positive pro-active step to keeping the fans interested, and to keeping things ticking along, and giving something back. But its the ticket selling/buying posts that are quite frankly, doing my f*cking head in. Please have a little bit of consideration to the rest of us. You're distracting people from reading the interesting posts. I don't mind if you've got stuff to say- like Amy Longcores last post. But its the ones with on or two lines that are a total waste of time. Other news: The Guardian got a mention yesterday about having a stuart Murdoch thing in it. Can I also say, that S2 of the Scotsman did a review yesterday of Belle And Sebastian also. you might want to see their website http://www.scotsman.com to find it. I met up with pigtails yesterday after work. We went to a well known coffee shop on the High Street. And we sat there, drinking coffee and eating cake. And then this man was sitting in a corner, this raggedy old man. And he came over to me, an gave me a pciture e'd done of me while I'd been sitting there at the table. It wasn't very good, no where as near as good as my sillustration. But he asked for some money towards a coffee in exchange for it. And then he was looking at the front of a magazine I had- some girlie mag, with a model on the front of it in a bikini, and asked who she was. And I said I didn't know. And I said she was just a model. And he asked if I wanted to be a model. So I said no. He asked a lot of questions, about where I lived and if I was a student. I was feeling quite tired, from a day at work, and my feet ached from my new shoes rubbing, which have left a blister on each of my little toes. And I gave him the money and he left us alone again. I've just realised that the bottle of coke I bught from the little international paper shop on the high street is actually German. right, I'm going to go and beat up my pillow now.
