Sinister: I hate annoying people
I really hate close minded annoying people. Maybe I'm the one being closeminded by considering others to be complete idiots but sometimes in life you just run across those you can't stand and are so completely opposite from your view of good person, you can't help it. First a little background to make this story relevant, I'm a student at University of Maryland and I work at the desk in the lobby of my dorm building which is staffed by 1 of the 15 of us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. So I was working the graveyard shift last weekend and it was about 3am on a Saturday night so a there was still a fair amount of people coming in from a night of drunken revelry. I was listening to everyone's favorite band "....Modern Rock Song" I think and this drunk sorority girl comes up to me and says she lost her keys in her drunken stupor. Fine, I give her the spare key to her room and while I'm doing this she asks me what I'm listening to. I tell her Belle and Sebastian and after listening for about 10 seconds she says "You like this music?" I say "Yeah its some of my favorite music" She just gives me the weirdest look like I just said I'm from another planet and sticks her nose up in the air and makes some noise like pssh! and laughs and walks away. I almost cried. She just managed to dismiss what has brought so much joy and relaxation to my life, that is the musical experience of Belle and Sebastian, in a few seconds of ignorant sorority girl bullshit. I don't care if she liked my music or not, everybody's entitled to their own opinion but she didn't have to just totally shun something just because its not within the realm of her little conformist, sorority world where everybody looks alike, talks alike, and thinks the same thoughts. I'm sorry if I don't listen to the same 5 songs that are deemed most popular and played over and over again by mainstream radio stations. No wait I'm not sorry, I just have to say fuck her and her sorority bullshit. I'm sorry to take this out on the list and I hope I didn't offend anybody involved in sororties that might be on this list, but if you are on this list then you can't be closeminded so this doesn't apply to you. My music infringed on her perfect little world and she used the same ingrained thoughts that everyone else in her perfect world uses because she couldn't think a thought of her own. And I thought college was supposed to be filled with original people with original thoughts.

~~~ Ha ha ha ~~~

~~~ Ha ha ha ~~~ So what was the last original thought some of you had then? Because I don't think I've had an original thought in my life. No matter how great Belle and Sebastian are, they can't define originality of personality, especially when you *know* at least 1000 people like them as much as you do. I don't think of others as mindless, unoriginal, dull, or whatever just because they don't like B&S. Or any other sort of music for that matter. I *do* however take exception to BabyChris' friend's assertion that intelligent people don't like dance music. I don't like much dance music either, but that has no bearing on my intelligence, and probably doesn't stem from it either. I just don't like it - I like things with tunes. And lyrics. And before any dance music afficionados start bombarding me with reasons *why* I should like their music, please bear in mind that what I listen to and like is my personal choice, and you aren't going to change my taste in anything. Cos I'm quite capable of making up my own mind about things. So don't try to convince me otherwise, or I'll just look menacingly at you. Which won't be scarey at all, but it's the best I can do cos I'm a wuss. Oh, and not liking something doesn't make you marrow-minded does it? I thought it just meant you had some form of personal taste and discretion. Haven't I said this before? I really should start reading the archives, you know :) Some other dull stuff now... I nearly got to go to Richard Stilgoe's house for my tea once. I didn't though. Also, I met Steve Hewitt, Placebo bloke in the Spread Eagle. Actually, now I come to think of it, it wasn't *that* Steve Hewitt, it was some chancer out of a band called Carsmile. Doesn't Graham Coxon drink in the Good Mixer anyway? Because obviously you are only allowed to drink in one pub. I saw a bloke out of Menswe@r in the Good Mixer once. And David McAlmont in the street outside. And Sanjay out of EastEnders (not together, as far as I know). God, all I ever see up here is Stephen bloody Pastel and Stuart bloody Murdoch. You Londoners are so lucky ~ Ailsa xx PS French Kiss by L'il Louis may have some sort of orgasm on it, I think, but I never actually got to hear it 'cos Radio One banned it. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
