Dear List, This is my very first post, please be gentle with me. FIRST and foremost my name is not Mark Salt, as the address would suggest, it's Hannah. I was watching your games from a safe distance and wanting to join in but not feeling brave enough. Then Erica put my picture up and I feel i really should emerge from the undergrowth and bore you all to death with a post. I've been skulking and lurking for far too long and it seems a little rude not to introduce myself. FOR the obligatory "when i discovered belle and sebastian" story, mine doesn't quite match up to the excitement of other people's. It was all down to wonderful Erica's devoted tape making and covers which just made me listen to them. I wanted to rhapsodise brilliantly over the beauty of b&s, but I'm really not very good at that sort of thing. The best i can manage is a mutter of "umm.... i just think they're really good". But the brilliance crept up on me until i was listening to the tapes every day and i had to buy CDs to replace them. THIS IS TERRIBLE ON a completely unrelated and quite sad subject..........Cher really did steal my fun you know. I was going to go to Hefner on Monday, and all i had to do was swap my babysitting times with the girl who does Tuesdays, simple you may think. And i got my hopes up, and phoned Erica up and got her hopes up as well. Then i phoned the girl. She said "oh I'm really sorry but i can't, you see I'm going to see CHER in concert on Monday". Its not fair. This kind of thing shouldn't be allowed, so I'm offering a reward to anyone who can stop Cher "performing" on Monday. I don't mind how you achieve this, steal her crushed leather shell suit perhaps, although obviously the more creative the better. As for the reward........ it is yet to be decided although a kiss from Erica is in the running, so get plotting. love Hannah xx pS. the only doll i ever resemble is a cabbage patch doll, don't be fooled. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
