Sinister: Fuzzy, furry, blurry
by Amy Skelton 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Noswaith dda (Good Evening) Sinister! If Im ever going to learn Welsh properly Ill need to start practising daily but making that time can be difficult alike reading posts/posting to Sinister. The original idea when I went to the lessons was to just learn the basics as I always felt completely ignorant when old ladies chatted to me on the street and I didnt even know enough to say Im sorry, I dont understand Im now well past this stage but have started to get into it. Before, I forget - note to Bron and anyone else wondering - Ordinary World is a song by Duran Duran. Apologies if someone else has already mentioned it. Now several people have asked about any pre/post Manchester gig shenanigans but with it being a month away nothing definite has been set. If in time someone decides to take charge please let me know what is going on. Im really pleased that the gig is in the middle of my Easter hols from uni - hehe!! Cay made a fantabulous picnic mummy last time but there seem to be lots of you who are still based in Manchester on the list who may want to take control. Whatever happens its going to be a drastic change from the last time I was in the lovely city, which was for the Frank Morton games last week. This is where all the U.K. university Chemical Engineering departments current and ex-students get together for one day a year (different venue each year), play a bit of sport and for those who do drink alcohol get horribly, horribly drunk and end up in a nightclub filled with just Chem Engers. Its so much fun - this year was my fourth time, hopefully of many more to come. Ive never heard of any other course that does something like this and I think its a shame, but so it goes. Were really (well most of us), a very sociable breed but so many people have a bad perception of what engineers are like. Im actually very gutted that Ive had to stop planning weekends away kayaking/hiking/conservation work/visiting (the possibilities go on for ages) but my design project deadline is looming - aagghhh! I never devote as much time as I should to work but its near on essential at the moment. I really need to clear my head. During the last few weeks the conversations Ive had with certain men have been incredibly messy. The just friends or more than friends borderline has become so blurry it is almost non-existent. I need to decide what to do, but at the minute the thoughts in my head are just going around in circles. Most importantly, I dont want to potentially lose a good friend but sometimes friends can make the best partners. Ive fallen into this trap before and I dont seem to have learnt any lessons from the last time. I know this is vague but if I tried to write down what is going on I would be here for most of the night. Yoga wont solve the problem but it will certainly clear my head for a while which can only be a good thing. I did have lots to say before but tiredness seems to have kicked in a wee bit and more to the point Ive started pondering my relationship dilemmas again. Take care... ...Amy P.S. If youve got this far then hotmail hasnt messed up my e-mail - yippee!!! _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: West Sussex wanderings
by Rebecca Wright 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Oh, Caitlin out did me on the deer spotting train journey, whilst I only saw one standing in the wasteland outside Reading station she was blessed with a whole family. I don't think anyone else saw mine, I audibly gasped but managed to refrain from pipping"oohhh, look deer!" to the podgy commuter tapping away on his laptop opposite me. Any long haul train journey passing through a substantial length of countryside during daylight hours provides a prime opportunity for a game of 'Rabbit cricket'. Every rabbit spotted en route counts as a run, each station stop is a wicket and the entire one-way journey makes up the innings. My advice is to allocate your preferred team the journey occurring early dawn or late dusk as those are good rabbit spotting times. I spent the majority of my waking hours this weekend on a train/waiting for a train/worrying about absence of train. Stepped off one at 9pm Sunday night to the announcement "This is Havant, you're in the middle of f*cking nowhere", or maybe it was just "change here for Guildford" I can't be sure. (apologies to any Sinisterees living in Havant, it's probably very nice when one's not cold, disorientated & hungry). Earlier I'd sat for an hour at Arundel station in the drizzle talking to a retired jockey on his way from the stables to an empty house in Bognor. I gathered the most important thing in his life was a horse by the name of Smarty (and it was one!). I got blue at that point and haven't been able to shake it off since. Sarah Beckett wrote: 'I've been a serial lurker for quite some time now and, like 'strange boy on swing' in the endearing 'prospero's books', I am no longer content to occasionally piddle into the great sinister swimming pool. I want to dive right in.' Hi Sarah! Another Peter Greenway fan, hurrah! Don't s'pose if any of you lot remember but in my first post I resolved to be more like the skipping girl off 'drowning by numbers'. I've been to one sinister picnic/party and planning to go to others, what I really need now is my own Smut to be condescending to- self inflicted circumcision doesn't have to be on the criteria. Well, without further ado here's my list of stars: Kochab Polaris Eltanin Thuban Enif Bellatrix Vulpecula (little fox) Izar Peacock (that's right, peacock!) Caph A nice little pick 'n' mix of stars, no? I recite it on my bi-daily trudge over the Thames when TomPaulin gets drowned out by the wind & traffic. bye now Becky xx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: My girl's got miraCHUless teKENiques
by Tom Pettinger 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Respect the title. My pastiche will be even better. I'd like to say "nice day for a post", but there has been a large influx of posts recently, so it isn't really a good day for a post, but I'll post anyway because... *I was released early today, and I don't feel kike making a cup of tea. *(Honey read; "I have many useful things and heart rendering stories i feel it is my obligation to regale to you.) Hello. Ken said: >The restaurant was nice, small but thriving, and they played cheesy >Chinese pop tunes in the background, I was surprised to remember some of the >old classics. Even as tenuous sinister links go this is pushing it but: Cheese. In the common room in our school (and Richard Cottyn will confirm this) there is a huge number of people who sit and play cards, lookin bored but thinking tha it cheers them up. Every other break you are invited to play some form of game you have never heard of, and told it is easy and that you will pick it up etc. For those League of Gentleman fans out there, the "go johnny go-go-go-go" scene fits exactly. Well, a couple of friends and myself had had enough of this lark today. As is a common thought in my circle of friends, "We'll teach them to play silly buggers". Hence, "cheese" was born. It is our own card game. The game is, you and your friend/s invite someone who thinks they are a bit of a card shark to play "cheese" with you. Before the game you tell them that you are playing "outback" rules, because 4's are high and Kings need to be matched, otherwise you pick up. (?) Proceed to deal out however you feel the need, then arrange the rest of the pack of cards on the table in separate piles at your discretion. Now simply see how far you can go! Keeping a straight face, place random cards on a main pile and take on a pained expression. Occasionally pick up a card from one of the piles, swap your hand for one of them etc. and tell the victim they have just put down a "doubler", a "royal cheese", a "straight cheese" etc. We managed to get through 3 rounds before we got bored and told them. Yes, it is juvenile and immature. Yes, it is hilarious. Richard Kim Jones said: >p.s.go listen to sigur rós now OK Gina T, thankyou for the tape, I haven't listened to it yet but I'm sure it is wonderful. I am still working on yours. I have fallen in love with the girl/s from Slumber Party. This is entirely possible as they are all sweet-sweet-sweet, but if pushed to make a choice I would have fall in love with...all of them. I love there album. Does anyone know where I can get "Psychadelicate"? Much laughing for Stu for coming up with all these amusing one-liners. They're those things that I can't remember if they're original or not (no offence, Stu) so I daren't go and tell my friends because I'll be like*: "Hey guys, there are two types of people in the world. Those who can count, and those who can't!!!" And they'll be like*: "Nice one Tom, we've only heard that one a thousand times." (*Note the American girl school of quirkiness style) Much like that one about walking a mile in someone's shoes. Or the one have, on occasion, used: "I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous." ... Mmm...they get worse... xToMx Whoo-hoo, Offbeat friday this week. P.S. Robster, I tried to look at the pictures but too many other greedy people were on. "This is what we expect to see when Belle and Sebastian have sold out to the masses...Belle and Sebastian sold out."

Sinister: nice day for a post
by Kenneth P Y Chu 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

You know your day is gonna be good when, you know how a ring of keys sometimes come undone on their own and keys drop out, well my keys did that last week and I never bothered to put them back together, but today after putting both bits of the keyset into my pocket they miraculously slotted themselves back together all on their own. Now I have just one, whole, set of keys again and I'm happy. Later on I received some lovely stuff through the post, I thought I had my own stalker when I opened my door today and a guy was standing there, but it was just the postman giving me a bunch of posts. One of the posts was a nagging mail from scottish powers about how I haven't yet paid my gas bills, which wasn't particularly good news except - I noticed that the cheating bastards had used "estimated" values (i.e. they were too lazy to actually come round and check my meters and so they just GUESSED how much gas I used) - and their guestimates were like 3 times too much so I can phone them now and my bill will be cut by a third. :) Speaking of cutting short... There's a lady in the office here who is really small, like about 4 feet tall. I never noticed how little she was, maybe she was below my line of sight, or maybe I just have a shortcoming in observations... there was this other girl in my office, who I just knew had something wrong with her, something that's not quite right about her but I could never figure out what it was, until one day, it hit me like a giant mallet, that she had a giant mullet! In true 80s news presenter style too, with a pair of 80s news presenter glasses. Anyhow, when I walked past the 4 foot lady earlier today I suddenly wondered what it would be like if I were reeeally short (like even shorter than I am now) - I'd be really seeing things from a different perspective, and how convenient it'd be to be able to burrow through things rather than having to go round them because I'd be so small. Or what if I were reeeally tall (like even taller than i am now)? Like I can tip-toe and I can immediately see things over a huge brick wall.. In our office, where the photocopier is they have a few these 6' tall cupboards that formed a cubicle-like thing around the copier, the walls are just high enough so that anyone above 6 foot can casually spy around the office over the cupboards whilst bearing the photocopying chores - everyone else would have to either tip-toe really hard, or (*gasp*) jump to see anything, which incidentally would make one look, eloquently put, like a prick. Not that I've tried. And if I were very tall would I also start spending my whole life counting how many bits of dandruff people have just because I can see their scalps?

Sinister: the big monkey said to the little monkey "oo oo oo"
by Fiona Fairbairn 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

i just remembered why i'm on this list... it's because so many of those who dwell here are so damn lovely. i send one badly written, whiny post and i'm overwhelmed with messages of sympathy and empathy from all over the world. thanks everybody. i still haven't told my mum quite how bad my exam results were, but i'm feeling more positive about it. not on a lighter note, but on a similarly dismal one, i am currently suffering from a quite unpleasant skin complaint (you know you want to hear about this) that has made my face all dry and blotchy and itchy. the doctor won't help, so whilst wandering around harvey nicks* (dahling) yesterday with my mum, we stumbled across a stall in the cosmetics department with a fish tank and big signs telling us of how a physicist from NASA invented a magic face cream made from fish. intrigued i had a consultation with a scary posh woman who was wearing too much orange make-up (you should have seen the horror on her face when i told her i sometimes wash with soap) and my mum ended up spending over £150 on cosmetic products. i never envisioned myself as the sort of person who would use £75 moisturiser, at least not until i was rich and famous anyway, but apparently now i am. not sure why i just told you that, but it makes me feel glamorous, even though i don't look it just now. ~~content alert~~ are there any plans afoot to meet up before the gig in manchester? if there are someone email me, and if not i don't mind being in charge of generating some. so, assuming nothing is already happening you may send me ideas or expressions of interest for a manchester pre-gig meetup. i also have secret plans for afterwards which i may be persuaded to share if bribed handsomely. thanks again for being who you are, love and lollipops, fiona. *for the uninitiated (non uk) a really expensive department store ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ visit http://clubindigo.net +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: There are three kinds of people. Those who can count, and those w ho can't.
by Gardiner, Stuart 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Another weekend, another night spent getting drunk. I should take a bit of time to give my liver a rest. Maybe next year. The occasion this time was a reunion for everyone I went to college with in my undergrad days. And a very strange event it was too. I've never been to a proper reunion before, since I have no desire to go anywhere near the people I went to school with, so it was a peculiar experience. Of course, most people looked and acted exactly the same as they always did, give or take the odd bad hairdo. More interesting is what people have chosen to do with their lives. There's the people who became investment bankers or the like when they left, some of whom have stuck with it, some of whom have dropped out completely and taken a year or to off because they finally realised that having a life was more important than having money. Then there's the people who chose decent jobs which they enjoyed in the first place, who are generally the happiest. And then there's the people like me who decided being a student was far too much fun and decided to stay put. Oh, and there's the scary number of people getting engaged / married. About 3 years ago, I went to the wedding of my first proper ex. That was scary - I had a lucky escape. It's much better to stay single, footloose and fancy-free, able to enjoy life to the full. Or at least, that's what I keep telling myself. Fact of the day: it is physically impossible for a human to lick their own elbow. In the last digest (which featured a pleasantly large number of my favourite listees), Robin said: "I squeeze my spuds every morning to make sure they're okay." Just so long as he doesn't do it in public. Anyone who is remotely interested in the world should read about the latest efforts from the racist, arrogant, near-fascist US government at http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/story.jsp?story=139913. Of course, the fact that I've just slagged off the US now means that this email will automatically be picked up and read by their intelligence services (probably the ones based at Menwith Hill in North Yorkshire...). So hello there, hope you're doing well. Big Stu About 75% of the people who read this message have just tried to lick their elbow. See, I told you it was impossible. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: what (thump thump thump) is (thump thump thump) the light (thump...)
by Matthew Henderson 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Good late night/early morning to you all, I noticed something tonight. I went to see Lord of the Rings again with some friends, because I do not feel I was in a very good frame of mind the last time I saw it (coming off trains then a flight from Gatwick to Atlanta to Mobile does not make for a good movie-viewing mood). I actually really enjoyed it this time, and the editing didn't seem so bad. Anyway. I got home and realized that my friend Josh had cleaned up the living room. This thrills me to no end, because there is not much better in life than a clean habitat. I think Stacey's mother would agree with me on this. However, the real difference was the lights. When I first moved into this house 20 or so months ago, the main light source in the living room came from the irregularly shaped bulbs from the overhead light/fan. The fan never worked. Anyway, those bulbs eventually died, and they broke. I couldn't replace them. So I moved to the two lamps in the room. This was a great feeling and it made everything different. When I came back from the UK this christmas, my friends had not only rearranged the furniture, but they took out the broken lamps and lit the entire room with white, small christmas lights in the icicle formation. This was very exciting as well. I just loved it. However, these strands of lights have slowly been dying over the past few weeks, and a change was needed. They all died tonight, and when I got home, had been replaced with one of those lights with a handle and an extension chord used for moving about in the attic. This excites me. Interestingly enough, tonight, the bathroom light died as well. One attempt at...using the facilities...lit only by a zippo-knock-off lighter failed. So my friend changed BOTH light bulbs instead of the one we've been using for so long. Now the bathroom is lit very brightly and shaving was much more fun. It really is the small things in life, isn't it? Trying desperately to find my Duran Duran Greatest Hits CD, -Matt P.S. Something like this may not warrant a sinister post, but after a night of frustrating Claw Machine battles and a string of lovely posts, I felt the need to do something (and not sleep). P.P.S. Does the second season of Twin Peaks depress anyone else? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Airplanes, Gusty Winds, and Summersaults
by Carly 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Dear Sinister, This is my first post so bare with me...We went to our flying lessons (I go to a private school, and during Febuary we get to all these really neat things instead of having regular school.), and I was excited and all cause it was only my second lesson. But, it was very windy and every time I tried to pilot the plane i would start to turn in some awkward way, in made my stomach do summersaults. In those little two seater planes, the wind just tosses them around sometimes. The good thing was that I flew next to my friend and we talked over the radio. We flew to an amusment park, and it looked soo great. When we were heading back my friend did a spin to the ground that was just incredible (I was so proud of her!). that was the good part of my day. Later on I made some girls laugh, which I usually can't do. It's weird, I used to try to be all funny to them, but now their sense of humor doesn't seem very mature to me, so making them laugh wasn't very satisfying. Then the girls started talking about what they are going to wear tomorrow when we go to an islamic center. I don't think they have anything else to talk about. I feel sorry for them. I don't think they really care too much about what they're going to wear, they just need something to fill up thier time with. Then my (i don't want to say "my best friend" cause she's not, well not exactly, so i'll just call her "applejuice", cause that's what we call eachother sometimes), so applejuice asks me to come and watch her card trick that one of the pilots taught her. We had a good time talking while she did her card trick. But then I started being funny, i guess, and applejuice thought I was so funny and all, I was just being a little sil! ! ly. Anyways, I'm sitting there with someone who's, like falling off thier chair laughing, and I'm just sitting there, it wasn't all too great. And there's the guy, I haven't really told anyone about him, I wasn't sure if I should tell anyone, cause at school, they'd probably just point at him every time he walked by, just to emberass me...anyways, here's the story (it's not too long)- It was at dance class (he took a two week dance class with me and a couple of other friends). We were practicing this really goofy dance, so everyone was all happy and in a good mood. We started talking and we ended up talking for a really long time. We laughed soo much, I connected with him so much better than I usually do with people. But it only lasted a day, i think it was only because we're from different social groups. And ever since then I've had this fantasticly stupid crush on him. For me, if I am friends with a guy then it's cool, but once I start liking him I act all girly and stupid,! ! and I want to stop acting all giry and stupid, but it's hard. So with most guys i give up on them cause i've acted like such a dork in front of them. but I don't want to give up on this guy, I really really like him. here's what I'll do, i'll set a goal, I usually don't, but I could use something to aim for. I'm going to try to have another great day with him in the next week, no two weeks. gosh, I hope this lasts more than just a day! I hope everyone is doing well. I also wanted to thank all of you who have been writing such beautiful posts, they're great to read at the end of a not-so-beautiful day, cheers, Carly ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

this evening it's snowing. usually, i hate the snow. but it's not bad, not this time. i walked in it tonight. i strolled actually. i smiled and felt bad for all those people driving cars...because they had no idea what they were missing out on in the fresh open nighttime air. this evening. in my portable cd player i had a mixed trance cd my ex-boyfriend made for me just recently. track 5 is a tranced-out version of a song i remember from high school: 'ordinary world', i forget who sang it, it's a nostalgic song for me...i taped it randomly off the radio one day back in the 90's, and played it over and over again, till i taped over it. and then high school was over. this morning. my ex-boyfriend stole my heart and left me with a true love for techno about two years ago. we've talked on occasion since he left me, but not recently (except for when he randomly gave me this cd of his finest mixing work) so this morning, on my way to my first class, i was feeling light, i knew the sun was more inside my eyes than in the sky, and out of nowhere he drove by. i saw him see me as i biked down the sidewalk...i felt beautiful. he hasn't loved me for a long time. but for the first time, it was fine for me not to love him. for the first time, i loved myself...without him. return to this evening. tonight as the snow fell, it was perfect. ~~~dreadful word: "perfect" ~~~so i'll try not to use it again, but for the sake of this post, i'll use it just this once. my old lover's techno played in my ears, the falling of the cold wetness felt like kisses on my face, the massive white fingers of the bowing tree branches were begging gravity to lend them down just a little more...just to touch the ground in which they've been so curious about since the sky is all they've truly known, the uniformity of the ground of which the tree branches cursed me for stepping on...just because i could, the peace i breathed beneath my skin. random note of the day. in my class on monday and wednesday evenings there's a quiet boy who sits across the room. he's slightly pudgy, has fire red hair, a pink face, and wears a john mellencamp t-shirt on occasion. i wasn't impressed with him at all until tonight. he didn't do anything extraordinary, he just sat there as always. but i appreciated him. i don't know why. i just did. tonight it was frosty. tonight there was love. ---your mountain mama sweetheart X ***Sometimes you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right*** ---Jerry. 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.
