Sinister: someone keeps moving my chair
by marikka 10 Jan '01

10 Jan '01

i just decided to reemerge from hibernation. fatigue and work have kept me locked away, and then there is the matter of my life slowly going to hell, but i think that is under control for the moment. anyway, i realized this weekend, that a guy might be tall, but that doesn't mean i will like him. he might even love monty python and think belle and sebastian is a fabulous band, but that just isn't enough. i probably would have given him more of a chance if i liked his hair or at least saw potential. i don't know what it is, i think i like shaggy or curly hair on guys. i think the curly has to do with my desire to guarantee that my children have curly hair. i don't know if i could ever help a girl with straight hair. i don't know what to do with it, not that i have brilliant ideas for curly hair, but at least i know what not to do with curly hair. there are of course other qualities that i appear to look for, but the hardest one to define is the non-wussy quality. my personal ad would probably read something like this: "SWF searching for tall, reserved gentleman with a strong handshake. Hair must be shaggy or curly. Well-defined opinions and ability to defend them a must. Preferably unmarried. Must be able to accept that I have a strange fondness for Britney Spears, and unbreakable love for Belle and Sebastian. Cannot be fan of Creed." seems rather demanding, but i am so tired of meeting boys who pose as men and realizing that they just could never get me excited over anything. it's so draining. the worst part of all of this is that someone does exist that fits these standards, he just happens to be married. and with my long standing decision never to break up a marriage, i just have to wait close by for the marriage to self-destruct. what is even worse is that he probably like country-western music and would actually watch the country music awards and be ecstatic that faith hill has invaded american pop. i should be more accepting, i know, but for my sanity, i think i shall maintain the no country music thing. last thing i want is an affair with a married man. that isn't true, but with my morals in hand, i am going to avoid such an affair at all costs. and what does any of this have to do with belle and sebastian, minus the random mentions above? i blame the thing i have for the married man on belle and sebastian. or maybe it is correct to blame pulp, as jarvis keeps singing about infidelity. i wonder if jarvis really believes what he sings. i can imagine him as this tragic figure unable to find love because the world believes him to be someone he is not...but anyway, i am blaming belle and sebastian. i believe that the fact that "this is just a modern rock song" and "slow graffiti" get stuck in my head near the married man means something. i don't know what, but it seems rather cosmic, sort of. what else can i blame it on? i am going to have to lock myself up again in my apartment and crochet for a week to get myself back. crocheting really is the only thing that can completely soothe me. and i love the fact that when you crochet you use a crochet hook, when crochet already means hook, which is why i call it a needle. onward, onward. i must finish two reports before i go back down the hill to my normal place of employment. i like it up here, though. i have a nice sliding glass door which makes me feel better than the solid door in my other office. maybe this office was designed by someone who believed in feng shui. i recently learned from a feng shui website that i am apparently a water person born in a normally earth year, so i guess that makes me water-earth? anyway, if anyone knows what that means, i would really like to know. and on that note i depart and shall try to find solace is music other than belle and sebastian, because they only remind me of what i cannot have in this office. marikka. ===== One woman's 'Titanic' is another woman's 'Love Boat.' __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: The joke is at the end.
by Ruvi Simmons 10 Jan '01

10 Jan '01

When considering how I could make my grand entrance on the Sinister list I imagined myself writing in various ways, casting myself in a myriad of different lights. Before actually committing the act, you see, I had the option of being anyone. I could represent myself as a giddy, light-hearted soul or a debauched individual or a depressed misanthrope. And yet, once I have set out on my course, once I have made that first contact and the deed is done, my options vanish. All of which, I think, was intended to illustrate the problems with communication, or perhaps the problems of self image, or even the multi-faceted, changeability of the human nature. Regardless, I could wait forever for the perfect moment when my personality could be defined and set in stone, but it would never come. So I shall make do with my current mood and, at the moment, I am thinking of churches. I am not a religious person; I am thinking of churches because they are solemn, gloomy places, increasingly neglected by society but still remaining in the paces they have inhabited for centuries, lonely and brooding yet not without a certain dignity in their quiet repose. At this moment in time, they seem to symbolise my mood, and I would rather like to be standing in one. Or, rather, walking. Disturbing the dusty air with the clack of my shoes on the cold stone floor and gazing upon the statues and relics from times long forgotten. I am also thinking of Cemetery Gates by the Smiths. Wilde used to be on my side, too, but somehow he defected. And all of these things spring to mind because, currently, I am discontented. Adrift, in fact. If you will be so kind as to indulge the reason for this, I will happily tell all, although there is not really much to tell. Today I was rejected from the university I applied to, and thus all the beautiful castles in the air my vanity and imagination had erected with such love and care have been shattered, have vanished leaving a yawning chasm over the next three years which I shudder to think of how to fill. The fact is, I know how to fill it really, but the challenge makes part of me want to just curl up in bed and never get out again, to hide from all the trials and difficulties that may visit upon us in life. Beds and sleep are safe, warm and undemanding. Yet what I really hope is that the desire to forge on and face the challenge will prevail. It remains to be seen which side will win. I hope I'm not boring anyone who is reading this rather lengthy splurge of writing; in the future, perhaps, I will write short, glittering pieces, though that may have to wait until the daffodils begin to blossom and the birds return from their winter retreats to brighten the days with song. At the moment all I feel is disinterest which is, I think, the very worst emotion of all. It is the most distressing thing in the world to look up at the moon or over a sleeping city and not feel the slightest stirring of emotion or interest, as if all the joys of life have fallen asleep and won't be woken up. But perhaps it will all turn out well. The dawn is beginning to break, and even though I can only see a tiny patch of lightening sky from my window, that is enough. I haven't witnessed a dawn for many weeks, and its return to me, or rather my return to it, since it didn't go anywhere, is like that of a long lost friend. A long lost friend who, like the churches, is filled with symbolic importance that mankind has created in tribute over the short centuries. Unlike the churches, though, it is a symbol of hope, choices and optimism, of the cycle of nature and of timeless beauties. Maybe it is telling me something, or at least reminding me. I should take my own advice; humans are changeable, and disinterest today can be joy tomorrow. So I've tried to end as positively as I can, and it isn't insincere. I believe, I really do. And if one believes hard enough in oneself and in the fact that life is beautiful, surely, eventually, the belief and the wish for relief will come true? Or so I hope. Hope, and keep believing. That's what I'll do. In the meantime, I will continue to read and enjoy the various and varied e-mails that swell my inbox (what horrible, utilitarian words they are that pertain to computers!), and keep my fingers crossed that dawns break in the human spirit just as much as in the sky. Before I finish entirely, I have a question which I hope someone can answer for me (if indeed anyone has lasted this far). I have been considering volunteering to teach English in a foreign country (China, India, Russia and Nepal were the places I have been thinking of), and I wondered if anyone has had experience with this. If they have, and could tell me anything at all about it that may be relevant, I would be grateful. Ruvi. PS. I would like to assure everyone that I do like Belle and Sebastian quite a lot, despite not having once alluding to them in this post. PPS. Just to balance the morose content of this post, I would like to include a joke: Why does a vampire take his medicine? To improve his coffin. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Whats the cure?
by idleberry 10 Jan '01

10 Jan '01

... for hiccups? I have a bad case of them. Grr. Anyway, on with the news and gossip. Hello to new postee Lee Vowell who has undescribably alright taste in music. "Musically, I like B&S, of course. I also very much enjoy the Manic Street Preachers, Suede (esp. the first two albums), Pulp, David Bowie, and U2, along with a lot of others. I like to think of all the great music that I have yet to hear. I have heard good things about Badly Drawn Boy, but haven't heard anything yet..." Totally agree with you on Suede, their first two albums are ace. I didn't think much of their later pieces of offerings. But words fail me when you say Manic Street Preachers. Okay, okay, so I have the Holy Bible. And its got some good songs that take me back to my teenagehood where I liked something I could feel stroppy in time to. But they are still pants. Chris meanwhile, said: "I just remembered (sorry it's so late) - For those of you who get Scottish Television (BBC3) there's a program on at half ten tonight called "The Point" and I believe it has an interview Mick Cooke who is talking about the Electric City thing in Glasgow. Sorry it's such late notice! s o r r y. I hope you are all doing just fine" Same to you too Chris. Yeah, saw that. Mick was muttering something about teenage fanclub, and the 13th note, and the shoes on the dummy in the B+S shrine not being his... but Stuarts instead. Maybe his fake snakeskin red stilletoes in size 13 really wouldn't fit. But you know what they say about men with big feet. Big socks. And big socks means big feet. and so on and so forth. I bet Mick was just starting rumours about the size of his feet doing that. Yeah, I caught it on telly last night, after my dad went to bed in a strop with me, cos I got the TV control and started doing my usual hobby of channel flicking. And then it came on. Apparently, theres like this music exhibition thing in glasgow at the lighthouse, covering all sorts of bands from 1957 to the year 2000. Including Pastels, Delagados, BMX bandits and a whole host of decent bands. (Mogwai too, I hope!!) Oh, and some band nobodys heard of have a wee bit there too, with a blown up copy of the Sun after the Brits back in 99 with two dummies wearing two band members clothes and some other blokes shoes. Its on til the 25th of February, at The Lighthouse. I didn't make special notes of remembering that, but I do sometimes remember the most incredible facts that have no bearing on daily life whatsoever. So far giving up going to the hairdressers is going darn well. I've not been now since December 1st. Its looking okay, I'm flicking it out a bit, and it looks good when I try to apply my eyeliner Sophie Loren style and wear the lovely wee heart shaped amethyst choker my boyfriend bought me. Took my wee brother shopping yesterday. Managed to get him to buy stuff from Flip and Cult Clothing, alothugh he did relapse and insist on going into Next as well. I meanwhile, went and got a Curtis Mayfield CD, its been bothering me for about a week now, cos it was only three squid in Fopp. And I remember nicking my pals Curtis Mayfield CD years ago and loving it. So, thats my recommendation of the week. No, not nicking peoples CDs. Go out and buy some Curtis Mayfield into your life. So thats all now. So what do you think of Curtis Mayfield then? huh? And do you agree that Sophie Loren eyeliner is the way to go for 2001? (I'm doing it dark grey for that smokey look.) And has anyone else got any success stories like me, about where their mum gives birth to the wrong child (your sibling) and then only when they reach adulthood, can you make them do the things you tried to manipulate them to do for so much of your life as a sibling? enough!

Sinister: in a good way
by IsabelLark＠aol.com 10 Jan '01

10 Jan '01

I am in a great way today...I feel good, I feel like a brian jonestown massacre song or something. whatever the human equivalent is to a BJM song is what I feel like. For the first day in a month...Actually, it came about around November. But today feels a little better, and I woke up feeling better and for the first time in nearly two months I realize that I am going to get better for the first time in nearly two months. The hard part is always waking up. And I did remarkably well at that this morning. I didnt even hit snooze my standard 8-9 times...I didn't hit it at all. And I will tell you what else, if I wasn't nearly 30 I would go out and join the cheerleaders...thought I am not really into jocks...and I think banging them is a prerequisite or something. Anyway, moving on...cause if I start disecting that mentality it will just bring me down. I hadnt realized that honey was a he, honey was referred to as "he" in a recent mail... with a sweet name like "honey" and i agree the boys are always 1 to 0 with us...i just figured honey as a girl. maybe honey is a girl? in the whole big scheme of things it doesnt matter, especially to me...i fight for the hemopradites (sp) anyway...and we hardly ever get figured into the war at all. but i am not going to rant on about that either...it will only depress me. i am up so early this morning...i am going to stop in for coffee at this little place near by...i never get to do this as i am always running late....but not today. anyway, there is this girl...and she has a crush on me...and she always makes my order so sweetly. and i dont have the nerve to tell her that i am not that sweet. i fear that she will stop giving me such great service. she makes the smallest small talk...and i could like her for that...but rats. i like boys for the most part. the irony of it is this...if there is such a thing as soul mates and that sorta jazz, then mine is probably a girl...and it would be ok. but i dont even believe in those soulful things anyway, so anyway. i think like a boy most of the time. and i do indeed flirt with this counter girl...but i flirt with everyone...i like to think of myself as an equal opportunity flirter. however, i dont think i am gay...and i guess by my age one would begin to know...though i dont think anything is wrong with it, it just doesnt float my boat or whatever. so, why do i flirt with this girl that probably thinks i am about girls? you got me. i cant think to much about this either, its just going to make me overanalyze the issue. by the way, per my last rant...i am waiving the introductory fee of 19.95 for anyone that wants to join KATA. we are a very cutting edge group...its not for everyone...only an elite few (convincing you through reverse psychology, i am.) both girls and boys are welcomed. i used to live next door to aretha franklins brother...i saw her in his back yard once. i said "hi aretha" and she waved. a clever moment all in all. no new CD's to mention...but I have been listening to IYFS on repeat lately. except at work, where i am listening to my very own "best of b and s mix deluxe" i have never heard the gentle waves. thoughts? suggestions? before i forget, why do people think matador sucks? especially when there are so many things out there that genuinely do. it just seems odd that people would think that out loud. have they done something horribly wrong? i never read up on that sort of thing...i just buy music...and i know a lot of music that wouldnt be available to me outside of matador...so i am rather thankful. but i would still like to know about that loud mouthed girl in someones post saying "fuck matador" (hee hee) hmmmm...anyway. well, i need to shower and look presentable. ah. life of the working class. have a great day. i think i will too. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the turn of the screw
by Lila 10 Jan '01

10 Jan '01

Sinister, I'm one of those notorious list lurkers, but I've decided to come out here in the sunlight for a while, because it seems to be a trend these days and I have some questions I'd like to have answered. Today's topic is: being overwhelmed. Not to overwhelm, because that's way harder than to be overwhelmed. This topic is not set in stone, mind you, and I'll meander into other subjects and may also mention B+S, for those of you who like square pegs to fit into square holes. I am constantly overhwhelmed. I don't know if this is because I'm a coward, or because I have a naive way of looking at things. You know, unseasoned eyes or something. For instance I am overwhelmed by the number of people out there that I haven't met yet, the number of good books and music I haven't appreciated yet, the places I haven't been to. But these are temporary feelings that come and go. What I think about are the different possibilities in life. I could be any person as of now, being young. Who to be? I end up choosing one path, and I guess that's alright. But I think of all the other paths, and that is what makes me melancholy, a little bit at least. I know for certain I can't be specific things, such as a member of royalty, and I can't be the president of the united states because I wasn't born in the states. Genes and fate have stopped me from these things. I can never have a bigger chest, for example. ha. naturally. My mother says, quite seriously, that a lot of Japanese people like ourselves don't have large chests because in the not-so olden times, Japanese women would bind their chests very tightly in order to don a kimono. What I want to know is: what does it feel like to be truly beautiful? I know "beautiful" can be defined in so many ways, but pretend you know what I mean. Don't worry abot feeling narcissitic. I'd like some input. Did you know that tonight is a full moon? I saw it as I walked to orchestra today. I remembered the folktales about the rabbits that live on the moon, and if you squint you can kind of make one out, a silhouette. There are a lot of folktales I know about the moon. My father says that these tales are really true stories about alien encounters. I think this list is great. It makes me feel a little less overwhelmed (#6 in this post) to read about other people's lives and know I've gained a little more knowledge and insight.. (I think). Randomly commenting on some recent posts.. Blake, I think boys are weird. Boys are much crueler than girls, at least in high school. It's Boys 1, Girls 0 all the time, on the cruelty scale. Some are rather nice and cool, but some in my class are just mean and poke fun at my B+S shirts. Isabel, isn't knitting fun? It's the cla-cla sound of the needle hitting needle which strikes me the most. Time for me to go. shout-outs! to miles and eric and other people I bother occasionally. Have any of you heard the music of Floating Opera? sweet gosh, they are good.

Sinister: (no subject)
by MyMomSays＠aol.com 10 Jan '01

10 Jan '01

Sinister, Hi Sinister. I'm writing to you. Have you ever returned to somewhere familiar and found it not as spectacular as it used to be? Example: as a kid my family and I used to frequent a mexican restaurant called "Casa Bonita". This wasn't your norm of standard buritto & taco joints, mind you--it was like going on a mini-excursion to Mexico. Cliff-divers, mariachi bands, arcades, clowns; amusements at your every turn, fun practically bursting out the seams. It was nearly an all-day event to eat at Casa Bonita in those days. Zoom back to me--twenty years old and my friends and I decide to re-enact my nostalgia and return to the Casa. Immediately the place seems like a restaurant where the employees ejaculate into the refried beans. The employees seem livid: pit-stained, a waterfall of grease coating their faces. All the workers have a faint line of brown fuzz staining their upper lips, even our waitress. Shortly after consuming my cheese enchiladas I feel Montezuma's revenge plaguing my bowels. My conclusion: everything was better before, so go ahead and claim that now before before even comes about. I was better before. So were you. My favorite thing EVER is this: When characters in movies actually exclaim the word "YAY!" with glee, enunciating the word with great precision. My friend just made a list of her favorite things. It went like this: 1. that damn butterfly 2. mandee 3. 5:00 shadows 4. cassingles 5. soccer balls 6. baseball bat 7. acne 8. motivational speakers 9. switching banks 10. pleated skirts 11. clowns 12. twins 13. midgets 14. sexy orgasm noises 15. FOIL 16. Betty White naked 17. cosby sweaters 18. drumsticks Makes me so happy to see that I'm number 2, along with such other contestants as acne and Betty White posing naked. B&S content: I'm listening to Tigermilk as I write this.

Sinister: Re: don't pick at your SCAD
by Popboy Atlanta 10 Jan '01

10 Jan '01

hmmm, SCAD.... so one of my best friends in the world spent her college years at SCAD. and she's a pretty cool chiquita. anyhow, just wanted to reply, cos i enjoyed this sinister digest more than usual. major props to jonnyfive for coming out to his parents. i did that just before i left for college, and boy was it an exciting time. things flying around the room and breaking and getting all messy with tears and whatnot... but things get better, i promise. now my parents are really cool, and they love both me AND my lover :) and he's older than they are... (don't ask, you probably wouldn't want to try and understand anyway) but that's life. anyhow, just went record shopping tonight, and bought an EXCELLENT 3cd set of stuff from The Fall, whose back catalogue I've always avoided because it's so intimidatingly large... a good starter - i *LOVE* the song "totally wired" anyhow, this is about all i have to say, but i'm not content nor do i have any content, so there. cheers, popboy _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: psss psss over here
by IsabelLark＠aol.com 10 Jan '01

10 Jan '01

well (looking around all scared like) ok...i am back for just a while. some of you will be pleased to know that i have recently entered therapy. Tourettes Anonymous, during the first meeting, has managed to work wonders...I haven't muttered a bad word in almost 27 hours... TA, as us insiders like to call it, is showing me how to curb the desire to just randomly blurt (and type) bad words through knitting. Thats right...we knit! I have only been to one meeting, but my sponsor thinks I am making remarkable progress. If I can just keep up the good work...I will soon learn to live a healthy life...and with all my knitting, a potentially lucrative one as well. I plan to sell my gloves and scarves on the road. I wasn't sure what was more offensive. The cursing or the flame. Incidentally, I enrolled myself in a few anger management courses as well. I have only been to one, but again, i am already a better person. While just yesterday...a person looked at me funny and my initial response was to go to their knees with a bat, but i controlled it. i controlled it...and instead of hitting them (while cursing them too) i walked up and planted a big, fat, wet, kiss right on their cheek. my group encourages that. we call it KATA (kiss away the anger) we spent our last meeting just kissing the whole time. it was wonderful. and when i say group...well, there is only me and this one guy in it so far...but with major multimedia...and we are prepared to spend a few marketing dollars...we are gonna be huge. HUGE! I tell you. the TA and KATA have advised me that I must apologize to all of the people that I have done wrong (you know who you are.) What can I say...girl done wrong again, but girl is sorry, and girl sought therapy, girl wants to keep ranting on cause girl really should seek therapy, but girl figures sinister list is considerably less expensive. girl hopes other girls and boys don't mind...but if they do, girl promises to take it up in private and not act like the moody girl that girl really is. Oh yeah...anyone want to join KATA? we have a introductory membership fee...and welcoming packet for the low, low price of 19.95. However, TA is free. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
