Sinister: My life in six wishes
by Dimitra 01 Jun '01

01 Jun '01

On my fifteenth birthday,I thought of making a wish before blowing the candles-like they did in books and in films. However, I couldn't think of something. A year passed. When I was sixteen,I did better.I wished that the world I imagined actually existed. Not in these words exactly but anyway... When I was seventeen, I wished that someday I'd get to live with strange people who listen to strange music. In those words exactly. When I was eighteen I was very angry with my mum and dad so there weren't any candles, or wishes. If I had had the chance, I would have wished for friends. I hardly had any. Sitting on the for of my new room, in my new house, between my (new) boyfriend and my best friend ,in front of a cake and nineteen candles at 4 am, I realise -quite suddenly-that my wishes have come true. I live with those two. The one adores The Tindersticks, the other Nick Cave. I feel both happiness and fear. So I wish that we're trying to do will work. A year later,my best friend gets more and more absorbed by himself. Doesn't talk much, however shouts over trivial matters (like the washing-up).We don't fight but don't talk either. His girlfriend, also a friend of mine in the past, hates me very,very obviously. As for Konstantin, things got from bad to worst, and then even worst...quite dramatically...and without any actual reasons...really...it's so sad... We're not together but then, we are not apart, as we're something like best friends, and more, and we still live together... My twentieth birthday was sad, and I wished that someday I'll have a house in Amsterdam... It's been two months since then. That's the best I can do to introduce myself. That's what I am. If it is of any importance, I live in Thessaloniki, Greece and I study history. I also work a little. There's nothing more... Apart from the love for Belle and Sebastian. Love, and keep the faith, Dimitra. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: its a bright june afternoon it never gets dark
by Ruth A. Deller 01 Jun '01

01 Jun '01

Hello my pretties Just to remind those going to Offbeat in Sheffield tonight that if you can figure out who I am, the first person to do so will be bought a free drink as a token thanks gesture to the list for being my 'subjects'. Also wondering about picnic etiquette - do you bring food to share or your own sad and sorry packed lunch so you can look at everyone else's and cry because they're so much better than yours? And is a B and S picnic on a June afternoon like a Roxette one, where you have to 'get your green, green tambourine and play in the park' ? - if so, I'm in trouble cos I only have a red one. (By the way, what are the contingency plans if it rains??) Red (Bull) Ken said he'd finished all things university like and err.... I haven't yet, but Monday is my last exam.... I don't get my marks until July 20th so those of you wondering about all thinigs dissertation like will have to hold your breath til then. I think the evil swines delete this account on July 31st so I may have to wave tatty-bye to the world of Sinister for a while - depending on where I move house to and the cost of Internet services and all that malarkey. WIll pop in and see everyone on #sinister before then....even if just to say goodbye to Sadie in some misty black and white Brief Encounter style dramatic scene... I'm just procrastinating to avoid revision now...see some of you tonight and tomorrow if all goes to plan.... *rad* It's Christmas time, mistletoe and wine, children singing Christian rhyme With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree, a time to rejoice in the good that we see (It was always going to get to me in the end...) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: an upturned boat/sine die
by Gordon 01 Jun '01

01 Jun '01

Oh I am becoming too regular. Doctors say it's healthy. essentially a note to Scots listees. It's a book I bought and read today called 'Without Day'. I bought it in a place which featured a big cartoon horse leaping from weird orange territory with a black plastic bucket over its head. There was also the sight and sound of artificial rain made by coloured plastic balls shown on a wee stereo TV set, and some photos, one of which makes a multi-storey car-park look GRATE. All glowing, like, through the concrete at night. Anyway, this book deals with the issue of the new Scottish Parliament. The title of the book refers to the terms of the dissolution of the old one; i.e. the last parliament in Scotland hundreds of years ago didn't exactly ever stop, but just agreed to not arrange another meeting. Until recently that is. Anyways, seeings as I'm in a (very) small capacity involved in the building that will house the new parliament, this book is fascinating reading, for it contains all kinds of wonderful and profound proposals from artists and writers and poets about things they'd like to be part of this parliament-of-ours-thingy. Happily, I reckon they have a kindred spirit in the now departed architect of the building to be but, what the book implicitly suggests is that here is an opportunity of a wee and seemingly now rather culturally liberated and not half bad too country to do our stuff... it's fun and optimistic and more 'singing and dancing in the rain' than drowning in the drizzle. OK, not Belle and Sebastian and, if you read the book, no isolationist or parochial tract either... I just thought I'd recommend it. For example, it contains a proposal for an open kitchen. There is also a proposal for democracy by way of attracting exotic birds to party-political bird tables in the gardens. Nice, hopeful things :) Gordon +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: consequences. a short story
by Spiticuss＠aol.com 01 Jun '01

01 Jun '01

I've been having this problem. And I'm not sure who to tell. It started about a week ago. Me and Batman were hanging out in one of his crazy layers, NY branch. He wanted to put 'Belle and Sebastian' on the stereo, and when he offered I said "B+S is for homosexuals." I didnt mean it. I actually wanted to hear the song 'A Space Boy Dream' anyways. I was just messing with him. He turned red and defensive and then we got into an argument over if listening to B+S makes you turn gay. I was just kidding with him. Never question Batmans manliness. He shoved me into a vat of chemicals and now I'm invisible. He didn't mean to shove me into the vat, is what he tells me and himself, but he obviously meant to do something. It was one of those things where you try to be gentle but sometimes he doesnt realize how strong he is, I guess. I told him not to leave a vat of chemicals open near his stereo. Well, whats done is done. It might not be so bad if I could control it, or if it was consistent. It creeps people out when they're talking to me and i disappear. It creeps people out when i'm standing there listening to their conversation, and then I appear. And my mom starts crying whenever I disappear during dinner. She never liked Batman from the start anyways. She said all that violence was a bad influence on me. She was a hippy. Once, back in her hippy days, at some non-violent protest, she went swimming naked in a pool filled with pasta and tomato sauce. She asks why batman needs to fill his swimming pools with chemicals that turn her daughter invinsible. I tell her she doesnt have to worry because me and batman arent on the greatest of terms right now, and we hardly even say hi anmore in the hallways. If he sees me. Never question Batmans manliness. -sophie +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
