Sinister: Dancin'
by Paulo Stinsoni 21 Oct '02

21 Oct '02

Now then you Sinisterizers, Just a few questions here... How do you get your girlfriends ring size secretly for a surprise proposal? Do you dance like a fool in your own front room to selected B&S tunes? Do you want to dance like a fool in unison with your partner for your first dance at your wedding to a B&S tune? (that's a complicated sentence, but I'm sure you understand) If so, which tune? I want one that is bouncy and fun, but doesn't say "I used to love you, but you're a dick slap who dreams of horses" See my problem? Now, you think about it and get back to me.

Sinister: you get enough germs to catch pneumonia
by Gillian Kirby 20 Oct '02

20 Oct '02

Hello!> > Well, I've spent seven hours onb a train this afternoon after a wedding at the weekend, I'm all wet, hungry and greasy haired. And I realluy couldn't care less, as I'mnot planning to go anywhere until at least tomorrow afternoon.> > I;m also feeling awfully lovesick at the moment. A young man (who shall remain nameless...) has been confusing the hell out of me. First he was an acquaintance, then we became friends and started meeting up for drinks and cups of tea etc, then I got a crush onb him, making me feel a bit silly as I was certain things didn't seem reciprocated, and came out with it when he got off with someone else at a party.l..I pick my moments, eh? Then we got together, had two very good nights and one rather awkward night after which he said he wasn't sure about things.l..odd as two days before he was saying he really liked me and wanted to make ma go of things...Anyhow, after a few e-mails and meetings it's pretty cloear we can be good friends without much awkwardness, but he seems to be in my system now and perhaps there really is nothing I can do about it....oh, and we're going to Paris in December, probably, and this was all organised after things ended. So it might be good. I'm just !so!> rely tempted to call him to ask what he thought of my mix-tape i gave him on Friday, but perhaps it might me silly...:-)> > love and rockets,> > gillian> ===== _________________________ '69, dudes!!!!!!' __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: I hope you are listening to me winter?
by Sunny set 18 Oct '02

18 Oct '02

After a long summery September, and a fairly springy first half to October I have to admit that it is the time of the year that I should start welcoming in winter. So, winter, instead of moaning about you like I usually do I have decided to make a pact. I can cope with frost, snow, fog and even some wind but I don't want rain. Ideally I would like a string of crisp winter days like the one before me. The grass all white and crunchy, the sun, creamy and low, silhouetting anything and everything, adding a touch of beauty through the mystery. You should be very proud of this creation, winter. Keep up the good work. I know variety is the spice of life and I will agree that even, snow can be endearing, if somewhat cold and inconvenient for a while. Fog is exciting too, the whole world hidden in a damp grey blanket, and windy days are usually sunny. I approve of that. Just don't make it rain winter. Summer has done that to me already, and honestly it is so over rated! Summer made it rain in Athens and a band had to play inside (http://www.friendsoftheheroes.co.uk/archive/issue2.html#b&s).Between you and me I'm sure that, that didn't make summer very popular. Try making some friends for a change. Put a few smiles on peoples faces instead of driving them insane with endless cold wet down pours! Do something different, winter, go I dare you! Steal summer's thunder (but don't take the rain storm to go with it) You know I'll love you for it and surely that has to make you happy too?

Sinister: The Dancefloor
by Caitlin Pigtails 18 Oct '02

18 Oct '02

His dancing was impressive. He skipped and bounced across the floor without worrying about gravity, without seeming to stay connected to the ground. He was in his own little world, bouncing about with his ear on the music. (I was on the dancefloor too, but I'd hardly call it dancing. My movements were static and pedestrian by comparison) Bob and Stevie had joined Stuart on the dancefloor for a brief time, but not for long. Maybe they didn't have the stamina. Tracyanne and some of the other Camera Obscura people danced with him too, but never for very long at a time. Stuart stayed up there, dancing, his mind on that and that alone. At one point, I looked up and laughed. I realised that Stuart was dancing there, surrounded by a ring of Sinister listees. Noone else was on the dancefloor, just him and the Sinister delegation. I wondered if he realised who we were and where we were coming from. I assumed he didn't; if he'd realised that all the people around him were only there, ultimately, because of his music, he might have run away and hid with embarrassment. But his mind was on the dancing, so he skipped back and forth, body and heart and mind in the air, touching the ground as little as he could. xx caitlin -- http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/ "When life gives us lemons, we just sit there and sulk about it, in the corner of the room, in a fetal position." - Matthew Henderson, on the Sinister mailing list. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I Should Be Dreaming
by patrick doyle 18 Oct '02

18 Oct '02

Hello there It's 3am and I'm *ever so slightly* bored so, yes, I thought I would write another one of my pointless, boring posts about nothing (one might say an 'endless sleepy story about nothing'... or... not) hmm, I've never been the best sleeper in the world, probably due to the amounts of coffee I drink during the day, and sitting filling out university applications all day has kind of left me without will to live, let alone sleep. I have a habit of taking walks around this time of morning, which the police really don't like, for reasons unknown to me, but it's a horrible morning and it's been raining for about three days solid so I'm not in the best of moods. I started a two-week break from school on Friday, and so far Ive done little else but look through prospectuses and sit on my computer all day, but still, as long as I don't have to go *there* for two whole weeks, I'm not complaining. Feels stupid really, trying to find 6 universities to put down when I know exactly where I want to go, but it has to be done I suppose. I've been taking quite a lot of photos lately, trying to build up a half decent portfolio, in case I happen to get any offers from anywhere (please cross your fingers for me... please... no? ok) then hopefully I'll get out of this place. In the last couple of months, I've met quite a few people from sinister, which has been, in most cases, a lot of fun. I went along to national pop league in September, which was fantastic, and I have to thank Nal for letting me tag along with her (thank you), I met a lot of people who I've only ever read posts by, and/or spoken to in #sinister which was great, and quite a new thing for me. I also went to last month's n.p.l where I met even *more* people, and had an excellent time... and theres another one next week! yay! I might sound awfully excited about this, but hey you would too if you came from Keith ;) hmm, and to think this took me a whole fifty minutes to write... cheerio Patrick x P.S. I also have to thank Mr Michael Grant (one of the most fantastic people I have ever met) for giving me a place to stay in Glasgow last month cheers! _________________________________________________________________ Choose an Internet access plan right for you -- try MSN! http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/default.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: B&S&M
by ArtsyDeco＠aol.com 16 Oct '02

16 Oct '02

I should begin by saying that I am sorry. I am a big jerk who still does not know how to crochet. Thanks a zillion billion hillion jillion (that's a lot) times to all the people who responded to my plea for information on the art of crochet. In other news, I saw Gomez and they were fantastic. In other other news my list of things my Irish teacher has said has finally made the top tens. I am filled with joy. I have also bought a pair of truly ugly pants, which add to the joy. So the joy must be spread. A certain person on this list would end his posts by telling me that I was an absolute star. I thought this was a very nice sentiment and have tried to take it up a notch. I have made a great deal of little stars out of crayola model magic. Tomorrow I will color them yellow and then write "you're a star" on them. Friday I shall get up to watch the sunrise, then distribute the stars around strategic points all around campus. It is a big secret. All those who might know that it is I who have distributed the stars will be sworn to secrecy. It is a good plan. Days will be brightened. I hope that he will find one. He has angry eyes but a sweet smile. I don't know his name, and have dubbed him, ever appropriately, Angry Eyes Boy. I don't know what to do. The other day he wore an ugly jacket and was a beautiful sight to see. I feel very small and impossible. I wish I knew about these things... Be exceptionally well all of you, Kara +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: In Glasgow town with you by my side, In Glasgow town I got stars in my eyes
by Paul Field 15 Oct '02

15 Oct '02

Hello there you lot. I returned home from a weekend seeing some lovely sinister folk Glasgow yesterday(if you're not interested in reading about it then delete this now as there's nowt else here). The journey was awful. A three hour delay on a one hour flight, terrible turbulence meaning the beer belonging to the guy two seats in front found it's way to my lap. Just missed the train from Luton and had to wait another half hour. I finally made it back in one piece though, tired and sad - but a good sad, sadness at leaving after an excellent weekend. I arrived in Glasgow on Thursday. Stacey and Sarah were there at the airport and Gav was doing the circuits. It was late. We went back, had a short chat and went to sleep. On Friday day time Stacey and I went out for some book shopping in the Oxfam bookshop and a browse around echo records then for coffee and a chat. Home for food and then it was onto one of the two main events. The Friday night piss up (the other main event being the Saturday piss up, of course). The carnavan was the venue. A lovely pub that stuck to the basics. Decent beer, friendly people. I took my seat and commenced with the steady intake. It was a slow start. I think the pace started picking up with the laughter when Ally arrived, drunk after cocktails, and seemed to think he was at home - taking off his shoes. The tempo rose again with the arrival of the birthday gal, the lovely miss idleberry. Her secsy secretary came along too. After that...it's all a little vague. Fill in the blanks. I do remember being prodded in the side a lot and giggling, I also remember idles opening her pressies and all of us filing out of the pub to go home or wherever and to sleep. Until... Onto Saturday....a day of football, pool, music and you guessed it. More booze! The tap is the location. I've been there before, I feel almost like a local here, especially as Nal and da chu have now also arrived from London. At least until the football starts, then its quite apparent I am not remotely local. In particular when chatting with dangerous mike: "Oh, I probably want Slovakia to beat England but I am not that bothered really". He must have just sat on a pin then from the way he leapt into the air when Nemeth scored for Slovakia. Then people left, we ate, we walked down to the pub the old pewter or something - just opposite the guest house where I stayed the last time I was in Glasgow. It's starting to feel like a small city, much smaller than it actually is. Ken did a fine karaoke rendition of S club 7's pop gem "reach" which had us all reaching. No, not retching. Reaching. Ken did indeed have stars in his eyes. Then onto the woodside for the winchester. Jesse Garon & the desperadoes' "splashing along" really is the perfect soundtrack to this short walk. Arm in arm, splashing each other in puddles. I felt kind of sad to arrive at the club, the walk was too much fun. But arrive we did. I won't comment on the bands, I was too drunk to remember to be honest. There was dancing, crazy dancing. A lot of that was by some bloke who's apparently quite famous. Somebody murdoch. Not rupert. Apparently he's a singer in some band or other. Some foolish words were uttered too, but that's how it often goes with drink. Then a subdued sunday. Meeting in....a pub, there's a shock. Some nutter was wearing the same tshirt as me. Some nutter was wearing the same tshirt as ally too. And some nutter was wearing the same tshirt as Nal and Calumn too. What are the odds of that? The group who went to the cinema saw Kristin off at the train station, the farewells were made, it was rather sad. For me it was anyway - I never liked goodbyes, even if they may only be temporary. Then it was to the west 13th for the quiz. They won. Not us. Them. We got beer though. And biscuits. Custard creams anyone? Sunday came & went, and now I am back where I started. Thanks to all I met - old and new. It was a great weekend. And, if anybody is interested, pics of this and other sinister events can be found somewhere near here: http://uk.photos.yahoo.com/professorpaulo Paul xx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
