Sinister: For justice...and puppies....and...er....christmas!
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 13 Jan '01

13 Jan '01

Hewwo, How's tricks everyone? I was walking about in a little bubble today. Except that I wasn't walking. Because I was in bed with the flu, again. I get sick too much, I think I'll fail all my exams. I was thinking a lot about James the Ginger Perv. This is partly because I just found out that in the infinite moke-ishness of James the Ginger Perv, I can't actually let any human being come near me in a (whisper it) s-e-x-y way, because all I can think about is him forcing himself on me and laughing and saying I was being a tease and I wanted it really. Don't get me wrong, the moke didn't rape me or anything, he just did other interferey things, which I now realise made me a little more than stupid for believing him each time he said he was sorry and wouldn't do it again. And I thought, 'oh, it's ok, he's just mad, I can do what I usually do with mad people and help them out' . But he wasn't mad, he knew what he was doing. He told me he'd get me over my hangups about sex, whether I liked it or not. But I think he made the hangups. So there's a sobering thought. I wonder how long it's going to be before I can actually let someone near me for any length of time. Well, I won't be going near him again. Or actually, now that I've found out about that interesting little quirk he's left me with, i might go near him one more time to castrate him with a rusty spike. But that's all talk, because I wouldn't ever do that, really. Also in my week of fun and illness, I just discovered that my (ex) friend worships hitler and I've found my mailbox clogged up with graphic photos of dead and mutilated babies, hilter, more dead babies, and (surprise surprise) people eating dead babies. Oh what fun that wasn't. Oh, on a good note, they're making Creme Eggs again, which is grate. They go so well with Ribena. And my maybe boyfriend is taking me out to lunch. Except, maybe I should stop calling him my maybe boyfriend, and just go to plain old boyfriend. Oh, the novelty of seeing a boy or girl who doesn't turn out to be a rapist, pyro, perv, dominatrix or Dr Who fan. I mean, I don't think he's an actual satanist... I really wanted to say something about B&S, something cool or interesting or unusual. But instead I've been doing the bad 'dear sinister you are my diary' thing, which i unreservedly apologise for. 'She's Losing It' is a really good song. I like Tigermilk. It's a good relatey album. I don't think there's a single song on that I can't identify with in some way. Except 'You're Just a Baby". I like it, but I can't get the image of child abuse already set by She's Losing It, out of my head, and it just seems like a peadophile anthem to me. Sorry, I've become all warped and I just want to sit and cry and cry and cry. But not to B&S, because that would be trite. I just want to sit in a little room all by myself where there's no one left to hit me, and cry and sniffle and feel bad, then come out all strong and self explored and all that American TV stuff, and I will just stand up in front of them all and I will say that I'm not afraid any more, of them. And they won't be able to touch me ever again. But we all know that never happens, especially because I feel like poo, and I'm ill so ignore me, I'm insane. Bye bye, and sorry, Hugs, Jen +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: here's to looking up at you
by gogron 12 Jan '01

12 Jan '01

well I'm short 5'61/2" worth of short in fact 5'10" is generally the official figure meted out for similarly short, if more famous, better looking and richer folks like Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, Dustin Hoffman and Michael J Fox I like being short so much I used to wear short trousers in primary school all winter lots of grazed knees from wildness in the playground: my knees were permanently in a scrape the principle advantage of being short is having more space the principle disadvantage is trousers that are too long and/or baggy, unless one has someone around like idleberry to take the hems up, or is rich like Tom Cruise and can afford a tailor my ego would preclude me from being taller, of course, because if I were taller I'd have to be somebody else I hope this mail is short enough :) Gordon +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: lets just explain things a bit...
by idleberry 12 Jan '01

12 Jan '01

being small is good, for some of the following reasons: 1. its cute 2. If you're female, and you like men to be taller than you, you instantly have more to choose from (and be picky about) 3. you can hide under the bed easier when you heard funny noises in the garden 4. you can take trousers up (yes, I know you can take trousers down, but I am discussing the leg hem here.) 5. bed fit better. 6. you know when your feet need washing without only discovering it through people not telling you, and causing those embarrasing moments 7. you can look cute 8. you can get onto bouncy castles 9. you can look cute 10. um, well, if it was good enough for Alice In Wonderland... But there are disadvantages too... observe... 1. you look daft if your partner is lots taller (a foot difference and it looks really silly, trust me) 2. you get bumped and stuff more easily at queues for booze in clubs/festivals/gigs/January Sales 3. you smell other peoples feet before they notice 4. Looking cute is ace, but sometimes you want to be a foxy sophisticated fox, and you really need legs to go with that. Unless you have a pert bottom, in which case, you are either one of two people: my boyfriend; Kylie. 5. You have to take trousers up in the first place. 6. tall people use you as an arm rest 7. you'll never play with the tall people at tall people games and be advantageous. 8. You look daft around tall people 9. you don't have the same alcohol tolerance as tall people (thats my excuse anyway- otherwise known more commonly as being a lightweight) 10. it can just be rubbish, and sometimes it would be nice to be taller. Oh, and Stuart Gardiner, my dig was not at BIG people. Tall people don't neccessarily have big feet. So do small people sometimes too. So don't stereotype. My dig wasn't at anything in particular. So leave the archeologist implications to those who do it. As for Carle Groome saying: I wondered about some of the posts that I have been reading lately. Some very good (you know who you are) some not so good (you don't.) lets face it kids. You know you're all good, to the right reader. Some people like Calvin and Hobbes, others prefer Agatha Christie as a bed time read. So if Carle doesn't like you, it's not your fault. Carle just doesn't know how to read it. Carle, shame on you for saying that. Go off and get a good spanking with a big shoe from Stuart Gardiner. There, put the world to rights yet again. What would you do without me? I'm off.

Hello you lovely people! Here I am in easyEverything and growing more convinced by the moment that the fellow behind me has advanced TB. (hack. arf. coff) still i write to you all... I have been in Glasgow for about a week now and its been great but a bit lonely. You folks are not as visible as my over-active imagination had led me to believe! I am really dying to meet you--I want to make things with you like music or costumes or anything. The Lighthouse exhibit made me dizzy with excitement as I had never seen all the movies at once (let alone with the big screen and big sound). Go! GO! all who have not done so. I am going to TapMoiLa tonight. I am keeping my eyes peeled. I want to meet a real sinistrine besides the ones I know. AND I want to see the ones I know again. Lets do something spectacular and make the world sigh. thank you listies for great thoughts and posts xox katie formerly of ann arbor and detroit +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Bridges thronging with these ribboned souls; one day they won't remember you...
by Alasdair Cook 12 Jan '01

12 Jan '01

So that was that. 2000. Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon. Mulberries. A good year, in other words. And this is something else, a new century. But before we look ahead, it's time for reflection. Unless you happen to be a vampire, of course. Garlic! Ha ha ha, don't worry. So what did we see? Well, in January we danced the night away and slowed the clock down like whirling dervishes, or superman. With tiger ears. In April we dreamed of England, then realised we were there, then thought we might just be in Poland, and ended up on the beach like Neil, like Kirsty's boy. We gained some heroes and some enemies, both of which were a lot of fun. You can read about it somewhere. Kevan, where art thou? In May we were troubled, but not so much that we couldn't dance. Jane gave us a semi-religious experience, tears at Bowlie, before bedtime. I'm thinking of 126. Or was it 630? Whatever. The week never ends round here. We were asked some silly questions, we got some free records, always a bonus, and some other things we hadn't bargained for. Everything swathed in scarlet. Perfect. The two greatest bands of the last two decades both came back to excite us, but the album of the year should have been the album of another year. Never mind, better late than never for the seaside hopefuls; Feargal Sharkey was right, it seems. Future generations can read the faded lettering on John Peel's gravestone. The rest of the year was spent in the pleasant company of old and new friends, through watermelon weather and lilac wrapping, flying fretting fingers and lunacy on the dancefloor. Booty! On the eve of a new millenium we toasted Kirsty (it semed only fitting) and almost heard a rendition of one of her sweetest moments drifting over the river. One to look out for in the new age, we reckon. And when we woke up, we discovered that nothing had really changed at all, and we were still in love. With whatever. With most things. She put her fears to one side and took the early flight. He went the other way to chase a dream. He might have to wake up soon, though. Maybe he can pull a Rip Van Winkle and get away with it for a bit longer. Soon it'll be back to the grind for you though, boy. Don't think about the future, it doesn't exist. JuicyLucy talked about bras. Lisa Morrison talked about the abscence of bras. This is all too much for a boy to take. Stop it, please, or I'll have to call the police. Still, I've written a poem for the occassion. No support, bare chest She'll lift her top at your behest Still, she's making me depressed Saying "Is that really the best you have to offer?".

Sinister: Earplugs Changed My Life

Hi again to everyone...Blake, no, im not from Fayetteville, NC sadly...im from Fayetteville, Ar...so it goes...it would've been nice...anyway, I was just thinking. And i continued to think until i was donee, and my conclusion was that i want to be pen pals with some one..or ones...Its one thing to check your e-mail and receive twenty-odd messages sent not specifically to me...but its quite another thing to check your mail box and find a letter in a cute litte envelope that is addressed solely for you...so...if anyone here wants to me my pen pal...dont hesitate...it could really be a wonderful experience..itll be a devoted pen pal...now why wouldn't you make an effort...alright...i guess thats enough of that... I just finished a wonderful little book called "Never Cry Wolf" by Farley Mowat. Its about this man who goes to study a wolf family for the Canadian government because they think that the wolves are killing all ther caribou....oh its wonderful..i do very much suggest it to all. It's short so it won't take up too much of your time. I read it in two days. Well, somebody or everybody email me about that pen pal idea...it'll be great....

Sinister: re: lurking, or "to post or not to post"
by carle groome 11 Jan '01

11 Jan '01

having spent the better part of the last three days going over the scads of posts, and then Isabel Lark makes this point: I wondered about some of the posts that I have been reading lately. Some very good (you know who you are) some not so good (you don't.) but always the fear that you're offending someone or bothering someone...or too shy to do anything but lurk. I don't especially understand that. The wonderful thing about this is that it doesn't matter. We all have a simpatico (the list itself, music, movies) so where is the fear? We are virtually friends...and even more importantly no one knows who you are, unless, of course, you have told them, but chances are they liked you, eh? and then, after what seems like a century (well, it was last century) i find a copy of stuart david's "ink polaroids"! and never having the deuce of an idea what the listees were jazzing on about when i 1st entered, i do now. (yes, i know. how could i have it and not know it? my only excuse was that i filed it in the wrong place when i got IYFS. i lead a confused life.) and there was number five. "here's chris outside the studio, on the night we finished the first album. it's quite dark, but you can still see the marks on his face the tears have left--from where he was crying inside. (paragraph) i asked him for why he'd been crying and he just said, 'because i've never done anything proper before. but i don't know if that means my life's been really shit up until this point, or if this is really good.'" and it occurs to me that this vulnerability is what i so much enjoy about the virtual bar-cafe we have here. and yes, how beauty or honesty or truth or something can hit you so hard that you don't know why, except that this moment will define the world as BEFORE THIS and AFTER THAT, and that, just perhaps, the more sensitive (ok. "twee") can appreciate this while... well, it seems that some people can have peak moments in their lives and not know it for ten or twenty years after. but i digress. having worked with editors, i can tell you that rejection is a bitch, constructive criticism hard to take, and being ignored is the worst. but--HEY! who am i to care if you hit delete the second the heading came up? doesn't cost me anything and might help or amuse you, right? so what else are we going to do until the next album, or (gasp!) tour? carle +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
