Sinister: we kiss in his room, to a popular tune

[James Thorniley]

Hi all,

Oh yay, picnic, hurray! I'm going, but don't let that stop you. Casarotto has 
gone and organised a tigermilking the same day and I'm upset with him because 
I can't go because I already have to go to a party and I can't get out of the 
party because it's mine. I was 17 a little while ago and I have arranged to 
have people over to my house to get drunk, yay.

The other good news in Belle and Sebastian are releasing a single. But wait, 
it gets better - it's got the loneliness of a middle distance runner which is 
a great song and the other b side is called "Take your carriage clock and 
SHOVE IT", which is such a fantastic song title. jeepsternews actually 
managed to inform me of all this (just) before anyone else, which is amazing 
because they're famously crap, and it's even more amazing because I don't 
remember signing up to jeepsternews.

The best news is me and Dafyd are going to see a band called belle and 
sebastian in glasgow. I don't know how we'll afford train tickets, 
particularly Daf who is flying across the ocean later on in the summer, I 
wish I had the money to do that.

Just quickly now - are drugs twee? It's just a question, but you see I'm very 
clean and I kind of like this girl who does a lot of pot...hmm.. No I'll stop 
that story before I get all fey and pathetic on you like everyone hates. You 
can make it up for yourself.. nervous boy.. pretty girl.. unrequited love etc 
etc. Oh well. I think Belle and Sebastian should do a cover of "Just Say No" 
by the cast of grange hill, because you shouldn't do drugs.

There seems to be a new wave of anti-smoking ads for kids or something here 
in the UK. I keep seeing adverts on TV with kids doing "hard" stuff but not 
smoking. Gawd. They didn't manage to stop me smoking (completely) and I'm an 
obedient little boy. Suggesting that you go to under-18s nightclubs and 
breakdance instead of smoking is hardly going to win over the hard kids, now, 
is it.

Bye the way I'm a closet smoker please don't tell my mum. I don't really 
smoke, filthy habit.

I'm going to stop before this gets long again because I'm sure no-one reads 
very far down.

Byebye darling
James,

P.S. Lyric contest - song name and band for the subject line. I'm sure it's 
too easy so I don't want entries but if you get it right think to yourself "I 
know a cool song, which makes me cool, but I know the lyrics to it, which 
makes me a sad music nerd", and make yourself a little prize, a cup of coffee 
perhaps - you are still quite cool, we all get lyrics in our heads, it's not 
really that bad.
