Hey ! After a few hours of typing my first serious words to be ever to take into account in the world of science and knowledge,that's it,the introduction of my first year as a PhD student report,don't you agree with me I deserve some belief in form of some philosophical reflection sent to this list? Ailsa was the one to throw the first stone (or may I say 'pebble'? I learnt this word at twelve in one of my first English textbooks ever , and I love it because its Flintstonian connections but in spite of my Bramcote , Devon days, never stand any chance to put it in my lips again)However,every one is providing his/her contribution to the topic 'Doom and gloom in Belle and Sebastian songs : Detachment as an essential songwriting skill in the late nineties' and I am not going to stay in the cold,alone and quiet, nope! Long time ago some Radiohead fans in the list come out of the wardrobe,showed their heads and so on, but in spite of this fact,I regard the majority of us agree (and demand)obvious, too obvious self-deprecation combined with self-consolation don't work anymore and can turn out to be quite annoying for even very disposed audiences.Even if you are sad,temporarily sad or your life is permanently a disaster,there are so many out there who could claim the same that is not enough to declare yourself an artist,a sensitive soul, blah ,blah. About identification, in my case, Judy is the obvious.But if you are eight and a girl,and decide to become a physicist, there is no other way.-> I have managed to include a Blur reference.hurrey!
