Hello everyone I am new and I thought I would introduce myself.... My name is Alan and I live in Scotland, and I am almost (gasp) 30....please say it isn't so, I like doing lots of things, a bit of photography, sleeping and I followed the mix tape debate with glee, I love doing mix tapes, I am an eclectic sort and most types of music float my boat, hell I even though 'Baby One More Time' was a killer pop song.....I pause while I get booted out of the group. Although I draw the line at Nu Metal...I think I may well be missing the point .now a little about my life I am madly and deeply in love with Joanne, music is such an important part of my life, but oddly enough I have never had a girlfriend that has been too keen to it; that all changed, I know I have meet the person that was made for me, except for one small teeny tiny problem, She lives in Washington DC; love at first sight and all that; I flew over there and spent June with her and I am going back 2 weeks today for three weeks, then she is flying over to Scotland for Christmas and New Year, I do miss her, but life is still great as I know she is there. Now a girl that will happily spend longer than me in a record shop, and I do love record shopping, so any suggestions for good record shops to visit when I am there will be appreciated; I was in a good one in Dupont Circle and a good one in Arlington, which was pretty close to the finest fast food restaurant in the known world, this dodgy looking chicken place (the name escapes me) Chicken, Chips and Coleslaw, and all for under $5, it is almost a religious experience, I can't wait to return. Bonfire night has been mentioned, I am glad its over as no more kiddies setting off fireworks at two in the morning for another year at least, I treat the festival with indifference, my mother has a fear of fire works, and when I was a child till I was about 13 I had to watch the bonfires and the fire works from an upstairs window, so now I can't be bothered with the whole thing, and now that its passed I can look forward to Christmas, I love Christmas, its a fun, happy time and I love buying presents. Anyway, enough from me, its my first day off for a while and so I think I may well go back to bed for a bit I'll talk to you all later Alan +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
