Sinister: Hey glumface, next time there's a rainbow, look up. You'll feel better...
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 06 Oct '01

06 Oct '01

Hewwo, How's tricks? Ribena is the ultimate. I love it so much. It's like alcohol only much much better cause it doesn't turn you into a psycho if you take too much too often. I think I'm learning what its like to be a posse girl. The good parts anyway. You know the parts where posse girls don't get beaten up and people are nice to them quite often. It's a good thing if you don't take it for granted. That's the problem. Posse girls take it for granted. I'm still reeling from the news that some second year boys apparantly have a crush on me cause they said so. It's surreal. Last year the second years spat on me and threw stones at me, and now they don't. They just walk about behind me and look at me. It's unnerving but it beats getting globs of plegm out your hair. School is odd. It's like somewhere, up in the sky, some fairy godmother or something flipped a switch and turned everything on its head. Everything is all sparkly and new and the world is not just a grate place, it's a grate place for me to live in. I even enjoy double maths on a friday. It's like a feeling I used to get, when I was small. I had this doll that was absolutely the most beautiful thing in the world, and her name was Julie. I'd got it for my birthday and she came with a pink frock, dolly shoes and a bunch of plastic flowers, and her hair was arranged in the most perfect ringlets which were all glossy and brown and she was perfect. And I hardly ever played with her, because I didn't need to, just looking over onto the chest of drawers where she sat, and knowing that such an amazing thing was mine, and I couldn't have been as crap as they all said at school because I was allowed to have this one thing that was sweller than anything, and I had this feeling that I had a place. I must have been pretty materialistic when I was 9 but I never did show any signs of becoming a communist, or a nun. But that's what everything is like now, and when I think of how it is, although its quite ordinary, I get that feeling I used to get when I saw Julie sitting over on my chest of drawers with her plastic bunch of purple flowers. Except for one day my friend asked if we could play with her, and I didn't want to, but I said yes anyway because she was a lot stronger than me. And she pulled off the little dolly shoes, because she said they were stupid, and got them lost. And she got smudges all over the frock and unpicked the embroidery. And she undid her hair and backcombed all the ringlets into a frizzy mess, because ringlets were uncool. And she pulled off one of her legs, in a way that it couldn't be fixed, because she said it was a stupid doll anyway and we should play with barbie and ken, except she'd ruined them as well, so we couldn't. So after she'd left I cried, and I had a little funeral for Julie, and put her in a shoebox in the back of my wardrobe, and wished that everyone else wasn't stronger than me. So now when I get that feeling, of being untouchable, I keep thinking of that doll, and then I wait for that girl to show up and mess up all the ringlets and pull the legs off everything that's going right. Except she can't. No one can, because this time round I don't have to let anyone play if I don't want to because I don't get scared when people twist my arm up around my back any more. And it's swell. Even though that was quite a long story, that never really had a point except for my friend used to be a moke and now she isn't. She isn't my friend, I mean which some people are saying is part of the reason for my happy lack of bruises. You know the song stars of track and field? I like it. It reminds me of cappuchino and cordoroy and other indie snob things. Indie snobbery's grate. Don't knock it.

Sinister: Wedding bells are ringing!!!
by colin thornton 06 Oct '01

06 Oct '01

Let it be shouted from the rooftops that Rachel Grapenut and Little Boy Colin have been successfully matched by sinister's own Ms. Crush. The wedding invitations will be sent promptly. It'll be a small wedding in the countryside or perhaps on the beach. We will not be registered at any major department stores. Instead, we ask that you paint us a picture or make us a mix tape. This is a very special time for us. Everyone should ignore Rachel's last post when she declared that she wasn't in love. She was too shy to admit that her heart blazes eternally for me. Thank you everyone for your encouragement during the arduous wooing stage. I feel silly...so very silly, but I'm also glowing with a happy kind of love that falls like so many autumn leaves. I can't imagine what Rachel's parents will say when they realize that her new hunk is a country boy from Kentucky. I hope they like me. To everyone who will be at the Picnic, I will miss you. Don't bring Ribena because the bees will annoy you to no end. Don't bring alcahol because Kirsten will...trip over barbed wire. Love to everyone- especially my crush, Colin _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Give yourself up to the allure of catcher in the rye
by Rachel 06 Oct '01

06 Oct '01

Helloooooo Sinister! The fall weather lately in Southern California is GORGEOUS! It's still very summer-like, but the difference is that the temperature has been *perfect* in the heat of the afternoon. Not too hot, but warm enough to not need a sweater. The other day there were brown leaves blowing on the ground everywhere, I could smell the stale eucalyptus, and the sunlight was so golden and slanty that it was practically neon. �The sky seemed like it was powdered in on velvet. As the sun sank, the marine layer drifted in from the coast and created a filter that made the sunset easier to catch a glimpse of. The swirls of gray fog along the bottom of the blushing pink skyline greedily swallowed up the hovering copper disk, like waves lapping over some beautiful jewel glowing in the ocean. I like to fantasise sometimes that the sky is really the ocean and the ocean is really the sky, but my head starts spinning and then I wish I were somersaulting down the grassy hills in the park by my parents' house and feeling the itch of the grass down my back, so much like the tags on the new clothes my mother would dress me in every fall... I love this season, but it somehow always makes me sad, like it does many of you. I notice that a lot of major shifts happen in my life in the autumn, so that could have more to do with it than the weather. The weather makes me happy. The weather makes me feel like I know what it's like to be in love. On the subject of love, true love, hope for love, disbelief in love, etc... I think that I used to be a cynic when it comes to love, but now that I'm older I have a new perspective on it. I think when I was younger I thought about love as being an everlasting state that was of mythical preportions. But now I think that people fall in love when they are ready for it and they meet the right person. But I think that love comes and goes and sometimes because you love somebody, it doesn't mean that you won't make stupid choices or decisions that won't hurt each other, hopefully not consciously. Sometimes you break up because of life choices, not because you don't love someone. Sometimes you make these choices because your love for that other person doesn't outweigh what you need to do for yourself. And what they need to do for themselves doesn't match your needs. It's a lot of work and you make yourself extremely vulnerable. But along with love comes trust so you can feel comforted in the knowledge that you both will understand each other and know each other more intimately than anyone else. I am not in love. I don't love myself most of the time, and I think that is a big factor in finding love. And I don't think it's possible to love somebody when you don't make room for it and if you don't find someone who has made room to love you, too. I thought of this the other night whilst driving home from Hollywood. The Faint concert was sold out, but I didn't mind because I took the long way home and listened to my tape of unrequited and sad love songs. it was so peaceful to follow the curves of Sunset Blvd through Bel-air and Beverly, up past UCLA and around bend after bend, just driving and thinking. Singing harmonies along to "There is a Light that Never Goes Out" by the Smiths. Pressing my arm up against the glass and feeling it's coolness dissipated by the heat of my body. "Simple Things" by our beloved B&S...said everything and more. I sang out because it's not too late, I had nowhere to be and "Talk Show Host" by Radiohead just melted away everything and my life was beautiful again... I could make room for love, I think. I hope I feel this way tomorrow. I'm going to post again then. Just a warning! Love to you all, Rachel fruitloop __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? NEW from Yahoo!

Sinister: If my family tree goes back to the creation...
by Spike 06 Oct '01

06 Oct '01

Had an interesting night last night. I went out with one of my housemates and some of his friends. (I wasn't going to go out due to a lack of money, but my housemate said he would buy me drinks all night.) Somehow we got into a discussion about Scotish music. He then stated that he was a Belle & Sebastian fan! Well, after picking my jaw up off the floor, we chatted about B&S. He's seen them 6 times, but does not know what Sinister is (hiss). Anyway, my housemate left me in Flares. I didn't care 'cos I had RAW to occupy me. And something else, which is a different story. When my housemate finally came home, he asked me to open the deep-fat fryer because he was too drunk and it was looking at him funny. Rachel Fruitloop said about the Will v Rachel thing: Spike wrote in regards to a Rachels "Battle of Wills" > I'm up for it. How about a pub quiz or something like the Krypton > Factor? Sure, the pub quiz sounds grate, but what's the Krypton Factor? Maybe we could just have a cross stitching competition!! If we all lived near each other we could double up and have a square dancing competition... but that wouldn't really work, would it?! What would Ken Chu do? The Krypton Factor is, erm, well, how do you explain The Krypton Factor to someone who has not seen it? Could a fellow Brit listee help me out here. I do like the sound of a cross stitching competition. Ah, well, I must be off (in case you were wondering what the smell was). Will == "It's a big rock. Can't wait to tell my friends. They don't have a rock this big."

Sinister: Sodastream gig in London cancelled
by elenita 99 05 Oct '01

05 Oct '01

Well that is what said the guy at the 12 bar when I rang up to book. Apparently the whole tour is. So there you go, if you didn't know you can still cry a bit. Hello, I am back. Well I wasn't really gone, I was just being silent. Sometimes it is good to be silent. Last week I bought this t-shirt when you have a velcro bit at the front and you can write things with velco letters. So yesterday I went to Sainsbury with "i like cheese" written on my chest. Some people giggled and some people looked at me in a weird way. Imagine if I had written "i am french", I might have got into trouble. Moulin Rouge is the worse movie I have seen so far this year, if you can avoid it please do so. You will avoid as well bad singing, bad dancing, bad covers and more bad things. Of course if you want to see Nicole Kidman in knickers, this is a different matter. Still no employers are willing to employ me, I am sure it has got something to do with my Frenchness. But I mean, if I did smell like garlic, I would be aware of it, surely? Come at the Betsey next Friday, it will be entertaining. I am addicted to Destiny's Child, don't hate me.

Sinister: Don't leave for Hong Kong baby
by Ken Chu 05 Oct '01

05 Oct '01

Hello, On Wednesday I went to the post office, and posted my mum away by first class mail. Only joking :-) It was economy class mail... the post offices in London are huuge! It was so big they split it into 4 different counters, they call them "Terminals", which sounds very scary. Farewell was short but sweet, a bit like me really. I waited I think 21 years for this, I turned the table around on my mum and asked her if she has got everything, did you bring your passport? Did you bring tissues in case you sneeze? Did you bring my phone number so you can call if you forget something? And for God's sake give me a call when you arrive! Wow, no one told me that being a fussy mum is so much fun! If I knew that before I'd do that more often. So, as soon as my mother was gone I am already on a hot date, met up with Stacey who was visiting London from Greece that day, had food and drinks, mostly drinks, on her part. Talked about loads of things including how my brain was warped by aliens with a laser beam to the back of my neck. Hehe, then, once again had fussy mother fun before we parted on the tube. Then went home, which is now totally empty. Too tired to feel anything, just went straight to bed.. needed sleep bad so maybe it was good that the house was deadly silent. Work next day was basically dossing, cos I was too tired to work properly after having only 5 hours of sleep. Reflecting on an eventful week, which saw me being in 5 cities, 1 airport and a heck of a lot of people's company, then thinking about what living alone will be like from now on. The first night alone was fun, without any kind of supervision I was singing along to music real loud, and the place looked considerably less tidy than before... cooked my first dinner in 2 years and it tasted pretty good. Tonight marks the first weekend on my lonesome, I was still enjoying my own company but whilst I was washing up the thought suddenly hit me that I'm on my own now, it wasn't really a sad or happy thought, it was just a new thing that happened really. Oh yeah, and my dinner from last night has gone off.. hehe first time for everything. Mum called back saying she's arrived, and nagged about things, but the nagging sounds a lot more exotic now it comes all the way from Hong Kong. Might do some recording tomorrow now that I can sing without being embarrassed... Oh by the way, girls, now that I'm living on my own I'm ready for you to come round for a cup of Red Bull. ;-) Loud echoes and Red Bulls Ken +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: A Dundee Picnic
by Belle The Pic-nicing Dog 05 Oct '01

05 Oct '01

Those of you who know me may already know I quite like picnics. Those of you who don't, I'm telling you I do!! If you don't believe me see for yourself: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/picnics/Belle.html I live in a place called Dundee. I have always thought to myself "wouldn't it be nice to have a picnic in Dundee and meet a whole load of lovely people here?" I told the girl, that I live with this, and she said "hmmm... I don't think people would come to Dundee, Belle". I couldn't see why not. I mean who wouldn't want to travel on a train to a new and exciting city. And Dundee has it all! Pigeons, pubs and parks. Well you will never guess what? Someone else aggreed with me and she e-mailed the girl and told her so! I tried not to gloat too much about that. Anyway now it seems that the girl I live with, and this other, clever girl with the good ideas are going to arrange a picnic in Dundee!! They tell me that it will be on the 20th or 21st of October, depending upon when people want to come. And they say that we probably won't sit outside with my friends the pigeons. It seems they don't like the idea of being out in the rain much. I can't understand it. I have great fun running around getting wet and then rolling over in the mud. They also tell me that people might be coming from a place even I haven't visited called Aberdeen. So hopefully there will be some people I haven't met as well as some one I have. I really hope a lot of people do decide to come. If they do I promise to kiss them all! If you think this sounds like a good idea or you have any ideas which you think will make it better you should e-mail one of the girls personally (I don't want people who can't come to get jealous... afterall it is a picnic in Dundee!!) Here are their e-mails addresses: u07lec(a)abdn.ac.uk or sunnie_set(a)hotmail.com Or if you like you can e-mail and I will make sure I pass the message on! I hope to see some of you soon. Many kisses Belle PS The girl says she would like to thank Dimitra for helping her promote this picnic. And for thinking that Dundee is lovely! _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
