Sinister: leeds...

[Heinitz]

i know it's a bit after-the-event to be talking about the leeds gig, but i'm on
the digest and i've only just got about a hundred delayed digests to read
through, so my head's all sinister-y, no, what was i saying? about the leeds
gig. well, me and my friend went to the whitelocks on the off chance i would be
able to summon up the courage to say to complete strangers, "hey, are you
sinister? i am the girl who briefly had a mouse, you may have read my strange
messages. let's talk about belle and sebastian." and it transpired i didn't have
the courage to do this, so i just sat down outside with my friend and we chatted
and looked at other people out of the corners of our eyes, guessing who were
fans.
so, i failed at the gathering part, but i think maybe by the time belle and
sebastian next come to my county i'll know you all a bit better, and it'll be
enough to say "hello, i'm abi".
the gig itself was quite the loveliest gig ever. i'm usually not in favour of
sitting down at gigs, but it worked so well. and ice creams? ambassador, you are
really spoiling us. "get me away from here i'm dying" is maybe my favourite
belle and sebastian song i've heard so far at the moment, but stuart forgetting
the words was such a gorgeous moment, i will be smiling my little smile whenever
i think of it.
me and my friend were enjoying ourselves so much, and we would have loed to go
to brighton beach afterwards (and maybe with more alcohol in me i would have
been able to meet people properly) but we had to get to our respective homes,
being only teenagers and both travelling home alone.
i haven't got TBWTAS yet (can you sense my jealousy?) because although i spent
six hours on saturday with a three year old on my knee, her parents STILL
haven't paid me (grr). when they do, i will be on the bus to town as much like a
shot as i have ever been.
and the whole thing about turning tables round... is it not connected to the
phrase "turning the tables" on somebody, which is... how do i explain... it's
like changing the situation so it's the other way around. oh dear, that's about
as clear as chocolate (preferable to mud), isn't it? ignore me, i'm probably
wrong.
love,
abi

ps. hannah? are you the hannah i went to see kenickie with and who recently sent
me an item of confectionary? if so, hi.
