Sinister: The lechi Jelly left over from new years eve

Dearest Sinister, I had a really weird dream last night. The details of it are rather fuzzy, but I do remember that the premise was that my mother had a baby. I didn't actually see her pregnant, or having the baby. The dream started when I went to look at the baby, it was just lying there on what seemed to be a cement cube, and it was really ugly. It was a girl, but it looked rather male, really really large with slightly dislocated appendages, like a rag doll out of proportion. Then my dream sort of flashed ahead, a few months I think it was supposed to be. The baby had turned into twins. The most beautiful children you have ever seen, these two little girls with ear-length, straight brown hair and pretty, frilly little dresses on. The two of them and I were having a picnic on a feild somewhere, and the strange thing was that they were both old enough to talk. I remember thinking how odd it was that they had grown up so much so fast. They were such perfect little girls, and I loved ! them so much, but they didn't li ke me. They kind of smirked at me, as if to say "we are too beutiful and pure and perfect for you." I was sad, and for some reason all I could think to talk about was how ugly one of the littel girls had been as a baby. It wasn't a very good dream. But now I have an urge to play with my favorite doll from when I was little, who is as beautiful as those little girls, with the same features. Her name is Samantha, and she's sitting in my lap right now. This dream probably happened because I was thinking about little kids a lot yesterday. I kept playing this scene from the YMCA, where I volenteer, the day before. I teach an art class for 6, 7 and 8 year olds, and its really neat, but I ger really upset sometimes when I get there before my class starts and I hang out with the kids. They're such little impressions of commercialism it depresses me. This wednesday, one of the more annoying of the children, Johanna, had gotten this new doll from a line called The Bratz. Who would name a = doll= that? I asked the kids that, and they explained to me that the dolls each had separate names, this one happened to be Cloe, and that The Bratz was the name of the gang they were all in. Gang?! For second graders?! The doll also had a very large head, big boobs and no waist at all. The two outfits she came with were a pair of sparkly bell bottoms flaired up to the thigh with a little matching jean jacket, and a cowskin miniskirt!!! The freakiest thing was her shoes. The shoes were designed so that they were weighty enough for the doll to stand up in them, so they were these gigantic platform shoes- a pair of high boots and some of those platform mary-jane type party shoes. The platforms were about as tall as the doll's hand. The weirrdest thing was that doll didn't have any feet!! Her tiny ankles snapped into the gigantic shoes! The little girls were playing a typical game, Dollie Goes To School. Rachel (my sweet little namesake) was the mother and the teacher, and Aminah and Lakisha took turns being the doll. Both of them gave the doll this high pitched voice, made her say "like" and "whatever" a lot, and made her be really rude to her teacher. Lakisha said something like "Work?! I don't want to work, I want to, like, go to the mall with my friends and go shopping or whatever" Where did these girls learn this? Is this what they think teenagers (which the doll was supposed to be) are like? ! Is this what they're going to try to be like when they're older? ! Theres no way I can stop the brainwashing of these kids. My hour long art class doesn't change anything, its only one less hour of being fed disguisting societal standards and regurgitating it to eachother. Things weren't even this bad when I was a little kid, which was not so long ago. My little brother's grade at school tries to be way more mature than I did at his age, and these little kids are being fed so much drek- they're all really knowledgable about popular music, and can sing you some really foul rap songs, and they've got the dolls and action figures and cartoons and stuff. They've got double the crap going into their head that older people do. Its really upsetting. Wow, what a long rant. No content at all, but I really don't think this counts as "list abuse," do you? I am so very happy for Rachel Fruitloop and Ben. Isn't everyone, though? Please feel free to be as candy-coated as you want to, rachel, it cheers me up.

Sinister: some old story about a boy who's just like me
by Rachel fruitloop 11 Jan '02

11 Jan '02

Hello Sinister! I saw the strangest thing on Monday night. Two dorks sitting outside of terminal 4 at the Los Angeles International Airport snogging for at least an hour. And if you saw them, too, it was simply a coincidence that one of them had a sort of red bowl haircut... *ahem*. I, of course, would never have been caught dead participating in such a public display of affection, but you know, these kids today... such thrill seekers! Don't listen to Ben, I AM a real person, I promise! You know what's funny? I typed that and then had to question whether or not my life is just a movie and I in fact am just a fabrication of some screenwriter's warped mind... am I playing in your movie? you're in my magazine... I didn't cry until I got into the car. And Tuesday night when I turned out the lights and hugged my pillow and it smelled like him, that made me cry again, too. I never thought that this would be the way it would end up. I hoped that I wouldn't just fancy him because I should, because it's a romantic thing when your list crush travels thousands of miles to spend a holiday with you. The weird thing was the lack of pretense. He just fit in so perfectly that there was no awkwardness beyond the initial afternoon that we met. Like Ben said, it feels unreal. Amazing. He's just so... dreamy. I have said before that I am pro list crushes, but now I am REALLY a supporter of that little function in our Sinister community! I just hope that any of you who have recently met/will soon meet your list crush get on as well as Ben and I did. I feel so fortunate! I suppose a lot happened in those 8 days... I think the most memorable time was on New Year's Eve. We had a party at my house and a bunch of people were on E (not us, though, we were just drunk!) and everyone had such a good time and hugged at midnight and that's when Ben first kissed me and I have never been kissed at midnight on New Year's Day. Some other memorable activities include seeing 'The Lord Of The Rings' and 'The Royal Tenenbaums', watching Family Feud re-runs, visiting my office, going out one stormy night to The Derby to watch some swing band and drink with friends, Disneyland, the mall, going to Santa Barbara and walking along State Street and then going to the wharf at dusk and seeing some boats come in, and talking to a quirky homeless guy who apparently has "been there, done that". Going to a British pub in Santa Monica was an experience in itself! We tried to catch some highlights of his beloved Manchester United and I can now say I've had a pint for breakfast. And yes, I beat Ben in a game of darts, but he let me win. Then we walked to the pier and rode the ferris wheel and had lunch in a little cafe. I drove him around the mountains surrounding my hometown and we listened to tapes and sang along together. We went to my parents' house, and mom and dad liked him. One day we went bowling and Ben won, and then we were going to have a DDR competition but I wouldn't play because there was a scary looking guy who slammed his quarter down on the console and stalked around us waiting to take the next turn. Ben was not visibly intimidated, but I was nervous! One night Ben cooked dinner and I helped cut up vegetables while he washed dishes. And another night I made him pizza and we drank nearly an entire bottle of wine and watched 'What About Bob?' which is one of my favorite movies. Another night we watched 'Rebel Without A Cause' and drank cider in my bed, but we both fell asleep before the end. Most mornings I made tea and toast for him and he said that I make good tea and it made me happy. Sometimes I was still asleep and he'd make his own tea and write e-mails and he even wrote me cute little messages while I wasn't in the room, and I wrote back when he wasn't looking. He was my dj, selecting cds to listen to, and he brought me Camera Obscura and Tompaulin and even let me borrow his Moldy Peaches cd. He played guitar and sang to me while I napped and it was lovely. That's where I wish I was right now... right in that moment, in that place with him. It was just... perfect. Since Tuesday, when I returned to work, I have been trying to get back into the normal routine. But it's impossible. I am driving my housemates crazy because all I can think about or talk about is Ben! I don't think life will ever be the same again. So why fight it?! :) I feel like Kirsten said. It's been hard to decide what to say about such an experience, so I hope it's been slightly entertaining for you to read. I will have to post something less sugar-coated in the near future (if that's at all possible!) And Ben, I can't stop thinking about how retarded you are! March will not arrive soon enough! I hope that you all had a grate New Year's celebration and that you're all well. For those of you who mentioned me and Ben in the last two weeks of posts - thanks! It was very exciting and special to have you as a part of our adventure! Love to you all! love, Rachel fruitloop __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Highland Thing?
by lepastie＠genie.co.uk 11 Jan '02

11 Jan '02

Hello Woke up and 'Tainted Love' by Soft Cell was on the radio. *grin* The day has been bad. A pigeon shit on me. I got a papercut from my bus ticket. Run out of loo roll and I have a snotty nose. The stray cat I took in still doesn't have a name. But, I'm a little hesitant to name him. My flatmate found a lump on his belly and we're a bit worried now. He's going to the vet tomorrow. Thankyou for all your suggestions of names. Recently, I've just been calling him 'my lovely fluffy gorgeous wee friend'. It's a bit of a mouthful. I heard 'Bright Eyes' by Mike Batt and Art Garfunkel on the bus (the theme from 'Watership Down'. I love that song. My eyes felt a bit damp. Now I can't get the bleedin' song outta my head. Oh! It was a real good treat on the bus today! After 'Bright Eyes' was 'Hopelessly Devoted To You' from the Grease soundtrack. I sing that when I'm doing the dishes. Belle & Sebastian content: Can someone clarify this for me? Are B&S doing a tour of remote Scottish Islands? I think it may have been a dream, but I recall hearing that they were doing gigs in Rhum, Eigg and Skye and then a stint in the Orkney and Shetland Isles. It seems like something they'd do, if a bit Idlewild-y. They *should* do it. But in summer. Lately I've been having dreams that are really disappointing. They either end with me getting strangled / run over / locked in a box by my mum or the dream's really good, like I win a Mini, and then I wake up. My throat's really sore. Someone once said to gargle with semen but I think they were taking the piss. And I've got one blocked nostril because I sleep on my side. Do English people use the word 'boke'? Example: The smell of cauliflower gives me the boke. I think I may have said too much. Hope you are all well. I love you all, but in very different ways.

Sinister: your muff, my bra
by Kenneth P Y Chu 11 Jan '02

11 Jan '02

Hello everyone, Today is 11/1/1111 (actually it's 2002 but shh) and already the euphoria of the new year has died on me, reads, I have used up all my money and I'm ill and I'm at work on a sunny winter morning when I should be at home barbecuing, drunk and playing on a playstation 2 (if I had one). According to the news they have very recently done a survey and found that money can indeed buy happiness - uh DUH! I've been saying that for the past 5 years, just give me some money and I'll show you how to have a good time. It's always been like that for me tho, I come up with great ideas before its time and then later someone else come up with the same idea. Well my classmate copied my work at school once anyway. Talking of classmates, I went to this "friends united" website where you can find out about what your old classmates are up to now, and I found out that someone in my class is now earning a trillion pounds a year doing what I want to do and everything. I wanted to top myself but I refrained and just wrote to that website that I won the lottery and I'm now living on a lakeside estate, to make myself feel better. I felt really stupid yesterday too, I took a day off work due to sickness and during the day I picked up a guitar and wrote a really sad song - and for the rest of the day I've depressed myself with my own song stuck in my head - just what I needed when I was ill. So there's a health warning for you, don't write sad songs when you're ill. Another health warning is not to use office toilet paper to blow your nose when it's runny - you'd end up with 2944.4 cuts around your nose. michelle ruiz said: >>Reindeers are nice though :)... and so are caffeinated drinks with >>chocolate (try it you will like it)<< It's true - especially red bull and a floating chocolate icecream scoop. yumm. or of course a white chocolate mocha with strawberry syrup. mmm. chocolate floaters and red bulls Ken P.S.: Stuart Murdoch's car: so is he a boy racer then? Does he have twin exhaust pipes (with a hole drilled in for extra noise) and big fuckoff spoilers and air vents on the bonnet cover and a "go-faster" strip and under chassis neon lighting and a big KENWOOD sticker at the back window? Does he pump out "I love my car" through his KENWOOD speakers? or does he have a special DRUM n BASS version for his car? _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: if all the things you see ain't what they seem...
by Kirsten Kenyon 11 Jan '02

wow. what to say now... i suppose i could write a long, detailed account of the past two weeks, colorful descriptions of the lovely people i am privileged to have met, a good number of humorous anecdotes and maybe even a bit about frank lloyd wright. or andy warhol. henry mancini? maybe. or i could assume the demanding role of 'disinfected indie kid' and say nothing at all except that this afternoon found me back at work and i'm feeling lazy. either way... i met a lot of wonderful people and didn't take enough photos. i do have a number of grocery receipts decorated with...*really nice portraits* of richard, ally, stevie, jeremy and, for one reason or another, david arquette. and a couple of myself. and a horned hamilton (his halo having been rudely scratched when it was pointed out that he was not jackson). i have a few photos, anyway. i'll take more next time. the relatives have been calling. it's funny. a certain steve fowler, upon hearing my voice, proclaimed 'OH, you're foreign' and asked me if i was 'from canadia.' and i said 'no, wisconsin.' close enough. and someone said something about how there are probably lots of gaudy christmas decorations in wisconsin, and i couldn't argue. just ask elise and jim. i brought very few things home with me. but...quality over quantity, right? right. i brought: * a copy of 'ghost world' from calumn. very very nice of him...i love it. and my brother loves it as well. THANK YOU! * a large bottle of bombay sapphire. by the time i got to the duty free shop, i was pretty sure i'd be needing it very soon. really. * a new favorite sweater. new to me...and it's orange. and i love love love it. * a really bad cold and a fun raspy voice to go with it. however, both of these are pretty much gone now. anyway. i had a wonderful time. thank you. and i'm home now, and back to classes in a few weeks. at the moment, i'm feeling quite motivated...academically, at least. but we'll see what happens after twenty minutes in a math class. at any rate, making good grades this semester should enable me to move out of my parents' house in may. this would be really nice. especially in case of visitors. i have been trying to post for a number of days, and this is the best i can do right now. i do apologize. there's just a lot.... it's been strange getting things back to normal. on tuesday, i got up at five in the morning, all alone in room 202 of the baltimore airport ramada. after nearly two hours getting through security, several cigarettes with a rough-talking icelandic woman, half a box of kleenex and a glass of watery orange juice, i was in chicago. my father met me at the airport and we drove to milwaukee with a lot of steely dan and a little bit of talking. mostly steely dan, though. anyway...this is enough for now. or more than enough...lengthwise, anyway. maybe next time i'll be able to actually say something.....with some sense..... love kirsten Care2 make the world greener! http://www.care2.com - Get your Free e-mail account that helps save Wildlife! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I don't have a car to love, but I love my pussy cat.
by erin 11 Jan '02

I left to visit home for the break leaving behind a rather sweet relationship. Two weeks later I return and he has a ring from (or rather for) his ex-girlfriend. Needless to say, I was a little distraught and I don't know what to do with myself anymore. The video in astronomy today made me cry; the slow earthrise over the barren moon in the total darkness was so beautiful and I felt so insignificant that I just cried. And I didn't even manage to take notes. The rest of the day was spent riding the Seattle city bus around, aimlessly, whilst spinning 'If You're Feeling Sinister' and staring out the window. When I don't know what to do with myself, I sit on a bus. (That's awfully twee, isn't it?) The bus, however, never accomplishes much; invariably it just brings me back to where I started and I still feel worthless and afraid to go back to astronomy; I'll just cry again because it's so beautiful and I feel so insignificant. So, there's really no B&S content there (except to possibly mention the "I'm Waking Up to Us" EP has grown on me to the point where it's my favorite collection of three little songs) but I needed to get this out somewhere other than my journal. Ta, erin PS -- Thanks to miss Rebecca for the wonderful lion story. It was very well-timed. _____________________________________________________________ Are you lazy?
