Sinister: b&s are like fried chicken and here's why

[sophia katrina]

Hello beautiful people,

Just a short introduction and i promise i won't ramble. I've loved waiting 
in the nursery and reading all your posts.

My name's Sophia and I am an Artiste. I used to live in London but after i 
finished art school I had one of those moments you see in  those godawful 
made-for-tv movies where the heroine sacrifices her chance for fame and 
fortune in the big city to be home with her family on a ranch in 
Nowheresville, USA. She says no to Spielberg, sends her agent packing with a 
witty riposte, throws her mobile phone into the Hudson, Thames or equivalent 
river, appears at the front door of the run-down but homely ranch house to 
the delight of her apron-clad mom and chubby-cheeked siblings, and spends 
the rest of her life riding horses and baking pumpkin pies. Lucky for me, my 
family don't live in Nowheresville - they live in Australia, by the sea. so 
that's where i am. (Not in Perth, though, where the only other Australian 
listee seems to be. On the other side). When the traffic stops, and before 
the birds start singing, you can hear the ocean.

I'm ashamed to say that I started listening to Belle and Sebastian because 
of a boy. He was (and, i'm sure, still is) very beautiful, if that's any 
excuse, and he was also an artist, which is no excuse and honestly, I should 
have known better. I really Liked him and in one of our few conversation he 
mentioned looper and b&s. So in the spirit of 
I-must-like-everything-the-object-of-my-desires-likes, i started listening 
to Fold Your Hands Child..., and that was it. For the next few months, while 
i was writing my thesis and hanging my degree show, belle and sebastian were 
all i could listen to. It was like the food cravings a pregnant friend 
described to me: it isn't that you crave fried chicken, it's that the very 
thought of eating anything other than fried chicken makes you physically 
ill. That was how I felt about Belle and Sebastian.

Nothing ever happened with me and the beautiful boy, but what telemovie is 
complete without a dash of bittersweetness? i'm waiting for a rugged (yet 
intellectual) Nowheresville, USA cowboy to come into my life and bake 
pumpkin pies with me so my telemovie can have a happy ending. Applications 
on a postcard please!

My first post and i've already broken a promise. Please accept my very 
humblest apologies.
