Sinister: out of the nursery and into the fire

[leyda campbell]

hello loves!!  so nice to finally have a voice.  its felt like an eternity 
waiting to get my ok to play.  but here i am and i am so happy so let me 
tell you a story.....

i just broke up with a no good boyfriend who disliked B&S and all things 
twee (why i was with him i'm not quite sure) and was having a great time as 
a single gal.  i had forgoton how nice it was to have loads of free time 
with out answering questions or divulging motives.  he, the ex we shall call 
dull paul, was always asking me a million questions about everything and 
never let me alone for a moment.

so on the 5th of december, newly free and happy, i went to see belle and 
sebastian.  it was wonderful.  i danced and had a few cocktails and i was 
having so much fun and then out of the corner of my eye i saw him, dull paul 
chatting up some indie girl.  grrrr....

i went undercover, and moved towards him at the bar keeping out of site 
which was easy because im small and it was dark.  and i listened to him tell 
this poor, unsuspecting girl what a fan he was of B&S.  surley i had heard 
wrong!!  but no, as i stood there groaning whilst 'the state i am in' 
hummned in the background, he proceded to tell her his favorite B&S song, 
(judy and the dream of horses, he said.  thats my favorite!!  bastard...) 
how he was so into the new album and on and on.

and then i laughed.  loud and drunk and happy.  i laughed at him.  at the 
absurdity of the situation.  was he trying to make me jelous by trying to 
pull at the show??  who knows.  but when i laughed he saw me and turned 
bright pink.  i smiled and gave a little wave, and skipped off with my 
cocktail just as the opening of 'slow graffiti' began, leaving him feeling 
like quite the fool.

does life get any better than this???

without regard for anything,

young*swan
