Sinister: a trek to the south

[bus stoppers]

I'M SOOO HAPPY!!

how are all you other lovelies?

thanks to matt, i have a ticket to the atlanta, ga show!! 
(THANK YOU matt! :)  and yes, i live in the greater los angeles
area.  but i get to see our beloved in a state i've never been
to.  i can't believe i'm actually going.  to atlanta.  to see
belle and sebastian.  and just 16 days after coachella.  and
then some quality time in alabama.  sighs and sighs of happiness
and contentedness.  

but i must mention my dislike for ticketmaster while we are on
the subject of tickets.  did you know that if you are in
california, you can't buy tickets for a show in another state
above washington or beyond nevada without a credit card?  that's
pish-poshy-crap.

oi, i know what you mean sister.  maybe you and i should start a
letter writing campaign for the rights of credit-card-less
peoples.  we are human too, you know...

i have followed the ranks and have started reading the perks of
being a wallflower.  i'm at the brownie part, i'm actually not
that far into it.  when i read andrew's post, i got SO excited
at seeing youth in revolt in print.  i am suuuuper upset with a
boy named ty who borrowed it without asking and then proceeded
to lose it in wyoming.  but the worst part was when he said that
it was out of print and that's why he couldn't buy me another
one to replace it.  humph.  i work at a book store now.  it's
not true.  

and now at the risk of sounding much like the new person on the
block as i am, what the hell does "twee" mean?

i started laughing when i read this.  because my dad does the
same exact thing.  has for years.  while he proceeds to play the
drums on the steering wheel, with both hands, he steers with his
knee.  it's crazy and i have concluded all that i can.  and
hoping no offense is taken by any drummers on the list as they
are not all the same, but most drummers are crazy.  my mom used
to always tell me, never date the drummer.  hehe.  i dated a
drummer once.  he broke my heart.  (btw: my dad's hi hat was the
rear view mirror :)

my 'career' or as i prefer to call it, my 'work-life' reeks of
coffee and expresso as well.  i feel for ya.  isn't it amazing
how upset people get about coffee and steamed milk?  i always
want to punch people's cheeks.  and kick their other ones, if
you know what i mean.  i'm actually quite tougher than i look. 
don't pay any attention to the fact that i am a mere 5 feet
tall.  i could mess someone up a tree.  maybe.


and now...to conclude this post of part excitement, part
pissyness...i would like to announce that besides me seeing b&s
in a few short months in a state i have never been to...they are
also the first "bootleg" i have ever heard or owned.  (thank you
brier!)  when i first got it, i got off of work at midnight i
listened to it for about 3 hours before drifting off into a
gentle slumber.  and now i just listen to it every chance i get.
 


hugs all 'round as i squeal with excitement,
sara


p.s...i still can't believe that it was you ms. rachel
fruitloop!  your a dancing queen in my book.

all the people'd stare as if we were both quite insane

someday my name and his are going to be the same
