hey...

>>The other day I was listening,with a friend of mine, to a B&S song "the
>>state I am in".
>>Great song. Pure magic.

>We were driving round and round a parking garage and listening to "The
State I Am
>In".....and I made it as far as "why don't you", right after the "riding on
>city busses" and the chord change..or something...just bit me, and I
>started bawling in a big way....

how coincidental... or maybe not.. maybe this happens to belle&sebastian
fans everywhere!.. "the state i am in" has been my theme song for the past
few days.. i'm not sure why, but i keep on rewinding it and listening to it
over and over again. it's one of those songs that grows on you the more and
more you listen to it... sigh..

hehe, for my english class we have to write a play and for my amusement i
tried to throw in as many music references as i could without being too
obvious.. like, the main character - her name is judy... the characters talk
about doing something pretty while they can, and the boy in the play, henry,
talks about the state that he is in. oh, and for any erics trip
afficianados, judy and henry are going to "our friend peter's house" (from
the song stove! it was also covered by canadian rockers sloan.. who were on
the enclave with b&s before it went under or whatever) anyway, no one in my
class will notice any of the b&s things (a friend of mine rolled her eyes
when i said that the main character was judy - "you and your judy blume...i
don't know *what* kind of cult you're into now.." - as b&s sing, "make a new
cult everyday to suit your affairs", right? heh. anyway, i was thinking more
of judy and the dream of horses.. is the horse really hurley? oh dear.. im
rambling..) 
wouldn't it be neat if someone actually stood up and said, "OH MY GOD!
You're referring to the song "We Rule the School" by Belle and Sebastian! I
own a vinyl copy of Tigermilk! Why don't you come over to my house after
school and we can listen to it outside in the backyard while eating
strawberries!" ... er, or something similar? well, considering i've gone to
school with these poofs for 5+ years, i'm pretty sure nothing of the sort
will happen.. i can dream though, can't i?

oh.. i hate to bring this up here, and the very last thing i want to do is
make it into a bigger deal than it is, and even worse, put myself in the
middle of it, cos i am switzerland and will remain totally neutral ( :) - i
love everyone, but i don't love anyone)  i would like to stand up for my
friend mellowtrance (etc..) who has er, created some problems on the irc
chat.. i know he was a bit of a potty mouth and clashed with some of you,
but he really was *truly* sincere about trying to apologize to you the last
time he went on.. he is one of my only friends who likes belle and
sebastian, and in real life he's a great, great person... i'm a bit
dissapointed by the whole thing because i think that if given the chance,
you could have as much fun with him as i do.. but, i'm sorry for any
feathers that were ruffled along the way... (hey, why am *i* apologizing?
heh, it's some canadian thing probably..eh?.. ack, bad joke :) )

but hmm, i would like to end this on a better note :) 

oooh, someone mentioned the book weetzie bat by francesca lia block a few
days ago and i wholehartedly recommend it as well - it's so wonderfully
crazy. by someone's recommendation i'm reading an anais nin book, and hee
hee, it makes me giggle like an immature school girl sometimes.. "literary
erotica", how euphemistically pretentious.. maybe judy went under the covers
with a torch to read her.. i'm sure her parents wouldn't approve! okay, now
i'm being silly...

sleep well,
teri xoxo
