Sinister: "travis:where did it all go right"?

[Scruffy L P]

   Hi.
    I'm mailing because of the coach trip I just had from London to
Manchester. It was uneventful (for a night coach) and I had two seats to
spread out on (not because of any pretending to be asleep shenanigans,
either) until Birmingham.
    A striking girl got on  and asked me if she could sit down. As
usual I was commpletely silent and I just picked up the shirt that was on
the chair to clear it into my "area". As I was by now quite tired (2.30 in
the morning...) I turned of the reading light and leant against the
window. I felt a little guilty for not talking to her, but on the otehr
hand, there was no way I could start a conversation...
   I awoke before I realised I had slept it (over an hour later) to find
her resting her head on my shoulder. She must have been woken by the same
thing as me because she quickly sat upright. I still couldn't talk to her,
despite the fact that the stiff way she was sitting, was making me
unconfortable. And the fact I actually quite liked her resting her head on
my shoulder. We spend the next two hours with our eyes closed
(mostly) prettending to be asleep (I'm pretty sure she didn't drift off
again).
    Why is it that neither of us could break the silence (everyone else on
the coach seemed asleep) or even acknowledge the others presence? Anyway 
it wasn't until the end, neither of us broke the silence yet, but our
shoulders touched, neither of us actually leaned on the other.
    I spent the rest of the journey thinking about what I should
say. But obvouisly I didn't say it.
    Everytime I look back on these moments in my life, which could be
considered missed oportunities (I can happiely admit to fantasiesing about
how she was the perfect woman... and maybe she was.) I think, "Next time
I'm going to walk up to that girl and..." it'll never happen.

    I'm sorry to say I haven't really been keeping up with sinister
recently (for the last two months, kind of recently) Just dipping in
occasionally and getting sumations from Paul A. I take it the new looper
single has been discused and disected. Well just to add my 2p, Looper are
GRATE (my first use of this word to the sinister populace) and the single
is pretty damn good. Its no album track, if you see what I mean
(IfYouSWIM). And on the subject of singles, doesn't the Belle and
Sebastian single sound like the "eurotrash" theme music? Next time you
hear it, pretend you are Antwon DeCone (sorry for the terrible spelling,
to think I've got a french passport!) and hum along. Sorry to anyone
outside England if you want to know what "eurotrash" is goto:

That should work... Basically it's an excuse to get breasts (of often
ridiculus size) and arses (...) on to TV. By having european pornstars and
bizzarre artists and performers... All the interveiws are dubbed in
english, with local english accents added. It can be funny... Anyway Thats
were the idea for B&S's latest single came from... No really, this guy in
the pub told me... sorry...

    Not reading sinister is part of my new lazyness drive. That would also
explain why I said I wanted to host the sinister-ville cinema and have
done almost nothing for it since I started it... And why I haven't replyed
to people who mailed me (I've saved them and I will get round to replying,
you will have forgotten who I am, but anyway...).

    I'm just back from the pictures and the film was GRATE:
"Boys don't cry"... In two words: "I did"... well almost.

Like everyone before me I'm sorry my mail is so long, but not sorry enough
to delete bits. (I doubt anyone will have made it this far anyway)
