Gush
simple as that.
Tell her why you thinks she's great any why she should think you're great.
"What kind of music are you into?
Really? Well, I used to be in a band that made exactly that kind of music! Yeah, we were great; I was the singer, of course. We split up because things were getting too intense, y'know. Didn't want to become sell-outs. I think it's -really- important to have integrity. Sorry, I can be a bit intense like that."
Fastest way to get an indie girl to think you're a self absorbed ass more like
lolatrix
sorry, John
Exactly how much action have you seen since you started championing Mathrock?
Honestly, it's been like trying to surf on a wave of female ejaculate.
Dalston is drenched.
abandonreplyabandonreplytoolate
I live with you!!
Please don't put images like that in my head. I've just read your noodles text and it's not a nice combination of thoughts..!
lol
I didn't mean that to have any bearing on reality. Or noodles. Talk about backfiring.
love the idea of
of surf the girlgasm wave.
Probably a bullet
although there's something kinda classy about a pitchfork.
You can't mention the 'P' word!
BAN REQUEST!!!
OK, ok
WOODEN STAKE
what about...
A STYLUS?
get a fringe
tr00
glasses
and a beard
Ha ha!
Like David Bellamy?
yes
chuckle
glasses: maybe.
beard: fuck no.
be clever. like LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of music. be knowledgeable and opinionated but not judgmental/a cunt. dancing's definitely good if you don't take it too seriously. be impromptu. be kind.
Glasses and a beard!
I'm onto a winner.
my lazy attempts
at staring intensly from across the room then looking away when she looks back is surprisingly ineffective and i think im going to have to try a new aproach.
i tried that for MANY years
not a good tactic.
go to an indie club.
dance.
have good hair
dance some more
yeah
staring= bad,
dancing= good
If you stare, even if you are the coolest, best looking guy in the world, they'll think of you as distant and unapproachable
Suprisingly, getting pissed and dancing works, just the same as regular, non indie pulling haunts
Alas
dancing puts the boot on her foot so to speak, because there's three times as many indie guys to indie girls. So it's got to be GOOD dancing. And you've got to keep your hair in shape. And you've got to look approachable, so say with a group of friends but not in the middle of them. It's all very complicated.
oh really?
better than a mixtape?
who wants a mixtape from someone who cant dance?
not me.
*throws secret alcxxk mixtape away*
*weeps tears of unrequited man-love*
who says you cant dance?
the dance is WITHIN US ALL.
you just want a mixtape
uh
who dunt?
.
okay- the dancing thing almost worked once, until I had to talk to said chick.
The mixtape thing is better
xx
woo them by
having a heroin addict, taking crack and playing messy rawk music
Oh please
Who hasn't got a heroin addict?
i just sold mine on eBay
to some wannabe scenester wanker who doesn't know how damn passé they are.
am i in the dark on this one
but who gets a heroin addict cuz its cool. ive never met anyone who has, and the only 'celebrity' who has is pete.
people arn't that stupid.(i think)
haha
Me. I got one to be cool and it worked.
(lol).
Make
her a mix cd.
Make it the best mix cd ever and the lady shall be yours.
Like:
Death Cab
Bright Eyes
You're sorted.
you're not
:(
dance like
Jarvis Cocker.
But don't sleaze like him.
Also pretend to be shy but actually not be.
HA
You're a master of deception, Tristan.
Anyway, Jarv-sleaze is hot. Wimpy shy/coy eyelash fluttering indie ladyboys look like they need a nanny not a girlfriend.
FACT
jarvis
it shouldn't work
but it does.
i like life
relationships are fun
and funny
make her a mixtape!
should it have
nothing came out by the moldy peaches, or is that a bit too pointed and geeky?
it should have
Are You Feeling Fashionable- by HSCS.
it should definitely have nothing came out by moldy peaches.
and also i wanna be your boyfriend by the ramones.
mixtapes = YES.
*starts a new tape for wishpig*
ramones.... moldy peaches....
sorry to shatter that thought but
i've already done that... :S
agreed with nothing came out by moldy peaches
it saved my relationship! wahey!
agreed make a mix cd
I copied grace by jeff buckley for a girl. It's foolproof. But then shes probably already heard of him
The fastest way to an indie girl's heart
is through her stomach
or through her
whatever you do
don't talk about the blues or any none nme music or she will drop you like a very droppable thing.
you all must have a very bad
impression of indie girls.
what's an indie girl?
Charlotte Church
Someone told me
recently that calling women 'toots' at appropriate moments is a surefire winner.
thats actually true
in my experience.
indie girls are hott
and have brown hair...
i was once told
saying "cunt" in bed is a good technique.
True story.
Surely
you mean shouting?
she didn't specify
how loudly
but she invited me for a picnic in Glasgow.
ohhhhhh
a picnic in glasgow eh? *nudge nudge* wink wink*
she didn't make any secret
that it involved accomodation
anyway i've been banned from going. :(
Showing up
at their house with food stuck to the front of your top and scaring her friends isn't recommended. Neither is saying 'well, if you don't like it why don't you dump me ?'
talk about belle and sebastian
and tut at the kids who think orson are the future
Never take relationship advice from your mother.
Man, that was supposed to slot in pefectly after Tristans 'cunt' post
And now it just looks weird.
sorry
: ( my bad
LOL
I think my mother would pass out if i said cunt in front of her.
She's looking for eligible bachelors though and is very very cool.
*straightens tie*
Dude, are you trying to set me up with your mom?
she's really arty
and likes the arcade fire
and um, she's 51....
But she's really cool!!!
back off
brainers, i was here first...
waaay to score scene points
her MSN add
is available to all who want...
But not you JD Traynor
actuLOL
what does she think of
a)bearsuit
b)steve albini-just a reverb drum tech?
c)Which Fall album wud she choose
she thinks Bearsuit are too twee
Liars are worth another listen
And the Fall passed her by because she was too busy having a social life in the late seventies/early 80s or something.
She also likes some shit music, but mostly good stuff. She's coming to Radiohead on Blackpool on the Saturday with me if we get tickets.
That's silly. If she doesn't already own Grace & Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk she's not even an indie girl anyway.
have pretty hair
but don't like fuss about it too much. That's my contribution. I'd be up for any guy that was 'indie' but that's only coz there are NONE within like a 30 mile radius of here or something.
:(
oh
isle of wight
i was on my way round but the buses are kerazy
lol, yeah 'oh'
the most 'indie' people get round here is listening to coldplay. And 'alternative is considered to be half arsed goths/emos/nirvana obsessives.
I like the mix tape idea. Proper impress girls with you obscure indie music knowledge.
Don't be a loser
Wear nice clothes
heh
that sounds like a self-help book title. Ace
don't be a loser
wear nice clothes
have cool hair
make awesome mixtapes
be sweet
and also funny
and ace
that's it really.
There you go boyz
Advice from an alpha indiegirl, which makes it kind of definitive.
im in love
with an indie girl :)
get your hand
off my leg
Indie Girls Aren't A Seperate Species
Make eye contact, look interested, be nice, and be a good listener. Oh hair is important...
about hair... why do swept fringes (halfway house to the Emo Swoop) only look good when you've got black hair?
they don't
they look fab with brown hair, better in fact coz most kids with black hair look like losers (a few are hot though).
Brown hair all the way!
Yay
emo kids with long black fringes make me feel violent.
asymmetric fringes
only hot if they're not INTENSELY, obviously fucking styled. a good haircut's all gravy but wella/nme hair = not shexay. nonchalance = good.
^^yep
plus, a cool hair cut totally hottens up an average face. Most of the guys I generally find hot would probably be nothing without their hair.
how shallow did that sound?
i cant stress how integral dancing has been to my sexlife
over the ages. DANCE.
I can't stress how integral dancing has been
to my sex
too true.
i forgot to add:
DANCE
and
like good music - especially music that
