Sinister: A Hooligan Writes

[Madeleine McNeil]

I am indeed a hooligan. Today I went to Top Man to buy a zip up top, which 
means that tonight I'll be out on the piss, shagging birds, disturbing the 
peace and eating kebabs, and tomorrow I'll be back down to Top Man to buy a 
suit for my court appearance. Ken already knows how RAWK I can be, having 
witnessed my anti architechture rants and spitting fits in #sinister.

Permission to panic, sir.

I am going on another holiday tomorrow, just about the RAWKest holiday ever: 
buxton, derbyshire in my mum and dad's caravan. The thing is, the loved one 
and I are going together. This will be odd and frightening as we normally 
get fed up with each other after a day or two and then we go home. But, as 
we'll be living in a tin box on wheels for more than two days, sparks will 
fly and I may be led to committed violent acts. And as the loved one is 
Action Sindy and I'm Apathetic Sindy, it should be interesting trying to 
make plans for the day. If anyone is in the ares and spots a girl reading a 
book in a tin box and sulking, while another girl in wellies runs around 
saying "You are sooooo boring!" then do pop over and say hello. It'll be us, 
enjoying our romantic break.

I was book shopping in The Works yesterday in my B&S T shirt and the lass at 
the desk said "oooh, like the T-shirt". It turned out she'd been to see them 
in Birmingham too and we had a little chat about how great the Scottish 
P!O!P! (allegedly) duo were. Do you think other people strike up 
conversations with people sporting T-shirts of their favourite bands? 
(apologies for terrible sentence construction) Or are B&S fans just a little 
bit more friendly? Perhaps it's because there's a sort of (what's the word?) 
cult/obsession type thing about B&S. Perhaps it's because people who like 
B&S tend to like lots of the same other things. Or perhaps they're all used 
to being laughed at by their mates for liking twee indie pop and are just 
overjoyed to meet someone else who gets laughed at by their friends. 
*shrugs*

I have been listening to Slip Into Something More Comfortable by Kinobe 
recently and having fantasies of being an ice skater. I reckon the bass in 
that song sounds a bit like Ravel's Bolero, what Torville and Dean 
ice-boogied to. It has that dumdumdum dummmm thing too it. Perhaps. Maybe.

I think that's about it really. Erm....

Yep, that's it.

(Keep Feeling) Fascination
