Sinister: I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell
by Christine Irene 07 Apr '03

07 Apr '03

Ya know, I wouldn't call myself a fan of Matchbox 20, but I love their new single. It reminds me of me. "I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell. I know, right now you can't tell. but hang around and maybe then you'll see, how I used to be." i feel that i have changed so much in the past few months. i also feel as though i am completely losing my mind most of the time. This weekend was relatively uneventful. i ended up not going to class on saturday as per my doctor's orders and, more importantly, my grandmother's orders. i did go to my niece's first birthday party, which was nice i guess. it's funny, i don't really know those siblings very well. they grew up together, with their mother, and i was raised by my grandparents. my sister jill and i got close some years ago when our father sent us to florida together to visit him. as for michele, who is my eldest sister, she always resented me in many ways. largely because i got more from my father than she ever did. it's ironic that last year she came around, and invited me to spend christmas eve with them and participate in what had always been "their" tradition. within a few hours, our father was dead. weird. another moment of note took place when gram and i were driving to the party. i started crying again and telling her that i just can't deal with my life anymore. something you should know, my grandmother has the most unbelievable faith of anyone i have ever known. when i was done she said "you can't be so negative about things. negativity effects your health." i told her that i tried not to be but lately i just can't help it. i told her that my life was totally unravelling and, for someone as "type a" as i am, that is enough to drive me to the brink of insanity. i am all about order and organisiation and have neither anymore. she told me that i needed to quit worrying so much, just have faith and God will take care of me. i informed her that, up to now, he has done a pretty crappy job. with that she got a bit miffed and said that He had not, I just wasn't aware of it yet. she said that i just need to believe that He will take care of me, and it will happen. i wish i chould have faith like that, i really do. it's just so hard to believe so strongly in something that can't be proven. i do believe in God, but i think it is mostly because i like to think that there is a better place than this awful world of ours. i like the idea that someone knows why all of these horrible things happen to everyone, someone who is guiding us through it all and protecting us. i dunno. now i'm just babbling. i was thinking about going to confession. i don't really believe in confession. who is some preist to tell me that God forgives me, shouldn't that be between God and I? i haven't gone to confession since.....well...since i made my confirmation when i was 13. that is 12, almost 13 years of unabsolved sins...maybe that's where i went wrong. :o) seriously though, i don't believe in it, but what if I am wrong? it certainly can't hurt. enough about religion. oi. yesterday i lay in bed all day, sleeping off and on. also watched a slew of movies: All That Heaven Allows, which I liked The Naked Kiss, which I liked Kermit, the early swamp years :o) Office Space, a staple (no pun intended :o) some russian movie that i fell asleep during...didn't care to re-watch it pretty woman the improtance of being ernest...old version and new...i love them both bridget jones' diary....still like the book more, but still watch the movie quite a bit. have developed mad crush on colin firth :o) i think i watched some others...oh yeah.... from a whisper to a scream, but i watch that all of the time. :o) ah well. enough rambling. time to go and rest my lung. love and snow plows (very snowy in chicaogish :o( ) ~stine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: A ticket to ride
by Sam Walton 06 Apr '03

06 Apr '03

Hello Sinister. Reporting Back has never been a great forté of mine, but I'll give it a bash. Practice makes... and all that. More literary list luminaries can show me up later in the week, but for the time being this is my take. The Saturday: There was bowling and drinking. More of the latter, in most people's cases, although the Brighton contingent appeared quietly abstemious when it came to BOUZE. Casarotto will no doubt thank me for pointing out his bowling supremacy, as he demonstrated his rolling skeez in both games, proving wrong the pundits who only had Chu down for the title. However, drinking awards must go to the boy Devaney and also to Carsmile for their gargantuan efforts at the bar. Drifting in and out of conversation was geezaesthetics, diletantism vs fanaticism (or was it fatalism? Futurism?), the London Bootleg Choir, D*v*d K*tch*n and ILE/x/M. Buses were caught, trains were run for, chips bought, all in a north London beery haze. The Sunday: There was footballing and drinking. A picnic of sorts took place too. There was much to complain about in the meteorological department, and indeed much was complained about. Chu was chastised for organising the indoor part of the weekend during sunny times and the outdoor part during greyness. He argued that "you can plan a pretty picnic, but you can't predict the weather", which was fair enough, really. When people could stand the cold no longer, and when Casarotto and the B*wl*e K*ds turned up, there was football. The Pinefox reminisced over sunnier times of Ally96 scoring the greatest ever Sinister goal, and the "result of the decade" against ILE this time last year. Teams were made, and Sinister ruled the roost, seemingly unphased by the no-show of such previous wunderkids as Bapps, Trousers and Jim Purple. A commanding lead was soon gained, and although the Bowlie Kids put up a brave fight, Hollywood balls from Daf and brute strength from Mark "Chopper" Casarotto, amongst others, thumped home the 4-2 Sinivictory. As the sun came out, people sloped off to the pub, grumbling something about Ken and the weather. Conversations drifted around the topics of Guns & Roses, Casarotto's pulling technique, cheap haircuts and cheaper pints. I wussed out and flaked out. Finding it difficult to keep my eyes open, I made my apologies and disappeared back to London's trendy North London, where I discovered that they're re-running This Life on BBC2. Again. I watched it and remembered Britpop, and this is definitely A Good Thing. She's got a ticket to ride, and she don't mug yourself. love Asm.x ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield _________________________________________________________________ Surf together with new Shared Browsing http://join.msn.com/?page=features/browse&pgmarket=en-gb&XAPID=74&DI=1059 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Weekend stuff
by MRissbrook＠aol.com 06 Apr '03

06 Apr '03

Just a quick non important post to list some of the....Things I Liked This Weekend: - Another day without rain in Manchester, surely some sort of record - Pubs that show Premiership football via dodgy Scandinavian satellite stations - an unexpected blessing - Being able to post on Sinister without my messages being bounced back to me - Buying lots of nice cheap records in Picadilly Records - Seeing Witness at the Pier in Wigan. Not one of my favourite bands, but as a homecoming gig the atmosphere was marvellous, and the support band Amberwood were quite good. Hope the rest of you had a nice weekend too Risso +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Mr Leonard, Mr Chris Leonard to a white courtesy telephone please
by Mark Casarotto 05 Apr '03

05 Apr '03

Sam, do you own an England shirt with the names of every talented young prospect on the back? I can just imagine the youthful, shining happiness in your eyes as you queued up for that must-have Andy Sinton number back in '93... (p.s. I'm doing quite well with Torquay. They haven't announced the AFC Wimbledon cheat yet) What ho, Sinister. I must say I hadn't actually expected my exhortations to the pensioners brigade to have any results, but Risso, I salute you. And identify with you about the Big Stu incident. Stu, in school photos you're put at the back for a reason - surely it tranlsates directly to gigs as well? The Sinister picnice (sic - unintentional, but strangely apposite, so I'll leave it) weekend is upon us. Presumably the Australians are already tanked up and in the final stages of mutual seduction by now, and I'm looking forward to hearing all about it. As for London, well, IT'S NOT TOO LATE to decide to go. It's your duty, really. And it's a lovely weekend. It'd be a shame to stay inside. Fondly awaiting the return of Steady Mike, or Keith, or Susannah, Mark xxx http://www.joannou.net/biondino __________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Sinister: LIKE A CATERPILLAR IN A COCOON, I'M GONNA HOLD MY BREATH AND MAKE...BELIEVE...I'M DEAD
by Richard Gillanders 05 Apr '03

05 Apr '03

I find myself content in life but not the living of it I find myself satisfied to be alive if thats putting it a little strongly alive live lives live life its difficult talking to a friend this evening I said that it seems my goal in life is to reach a point where I can stay in bed all the time he asked about achievement I said I really believed that I used to yearn for he said I can't have lost it already and I said it definitely felt like I have I have it too easy and that makes me want it even easier is the problem I realise make it hard for me I cant seem to do it myself shut up I feel like daniel quinn having trained myself to sleep and wake for fifteen minutes intervals except mine are fifteen hour intervals Ive forgotten why or even if I actually thought it was the best way to work Ive forgotten why or even if I actually came here what I was supposed to be doing one day I'll realise what it was and that it is no longer possible and give up like beyond this given up or maybe I wont maybe I havent actually given up maybe Ive just stopped pushing ahead for this while I just need a new start not a head start not a start somewhere else just a start I need to create one I thought Id have a start last week I had a surprise but no start I need a start and no surprise every week I think that maybe I can start next week and its just week week week week week I am so weak and of course it is no ones fault but mine for letting myself slip to begin with from making the choices that led me to be able to let myself be able to slip it has been a while which makes it more difficult but that too is my fault I need to make a decision a point and stick and begin begin again to work I find myself content in life. but not the living of it. I need, at least, happiness in life and contentment in its living. and, perhaps, I can get them from just beginning to live. properly. OK. - we are so glad I hate the idea of weblogs. - last month: happy birthday carey, happy birthday kate, happy birthday dimitra. this month: happy birthday lucy. - I promise to post something properly stupid if not contentious next time. love, richard xx __________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Sinister: Love Letters
by Dimitra Daisy 04 Apr '03

04 Apr '03

Dear Stacey and everyone else, Much like Lucy, I, too, wouldn't have any real friends if it wasn't for Sinister. The friends I made on it are the sort I've always dreamt of having but never had. Oh, I tried, but it never worked. Do you know the Television Personalities song Smashing Time? I had dreamt of days like the ones described in it even before I heard it, which was before I joined Sinister; my friends at the time never seemed to have the time or the will to do simple, silly things with style, love and a bit of happiness. Sinister is where I found them. I also love Sinister for: - All the things it ever gave me: great friends, places to travel to, the best birthday party ever and Ken! Who made me dance on said party and to whom I am forever grateful. - The inspiration it often gives me. Sometimes by simply sending a great piece of writing to my inbox. - Picnics! And clubnights! They are great fun. - The fact that I think it takes a lot of people who live in their own worlds and puts them together. I honestly think that: I think almost everyone on the list would stick out in a crowd one way or another. - The fact that, much as it's not perfect as I used to think it is, it is still better than the rest of the world, kinder, more understanding and loving and well-meaning, and it makes wonderful things happen. As for Belle and Sebastian... I liked them long before I joined Sinister, so I must had other reasons. 1999 seems like a long, long time ago but I'll try to remember, just for you. At first, I liked their name. Then, I liked Stuart's voice... and the fact that you can sing along to them (although I can only do it badly). When I started getting addicted to them, I liked their pop-ness and their insightfull lyrics. Stuart's writing is like opening a window to a place people usually neglect to look, I just loved that. I loved his voice, his innocence and kindness and the way he said 'oh love of mine, would you condescent to help me cause I'm stupid and blind'. And the fact that he bothered to say it. Oh if everyone was a little like that... Love, of all sorts, Dimitra Daisy xx ~~~~~ And the children stayed children, and they lived in their dreams. http://www.friendsoftheheroes.co.uk/ _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Oh. Meeting on the steps of Flinders Street station. That is the most romantic and heartbreaking thing I´ve read in a long while. Somehow Finsbury Park tube just doesn´t compare.

Sinister: illicit rock'n'roll
by Sam Walton 04 Apr '03

04 Apr '03

Hello Sinister. Two posts in nearly as many hours? I know, it's not what Cliff would have done... But I've had a couple of thoughts since then which seemed quite apt. I'm doing work experience at the moment at Universal Records, based just off Picadilly Circus. It's good fun. I tend to have lunch in Soho Square, because it's nice to spot the hipsters and art students making their way across town. It's quite a sport actually. What I've noticed, however, is that when walking through Soho, you either get offered sex or drugs. No illicit rock'n'roll to be found; just sex and drugs. I tend to get offered drugs, but never sex. I wonder if this says anything about me. D'you think that some people get offered sex but no drugs? Is there a code, d'you think? It sounds strange but it really interests me; d'you think the pimps and the pushers and all the rest of it look down the narrow streets of Soho and think "That bloke needs a fix", or "That bloke needs a shag"? And what of the people who get offered everything? They must look really needy. Or rich. Or both. I'm sorry Sinister, it just interests me, that's all. I spent my lunch hour trying to track down a Rooney England shirt. I'd probably have had more luck trying to find an original Tigermilk (note content). It seems that everywhere has run out of the right letters to go on the back of shirts; apparently because of Beckham and Owen, Es and Ns are not easy to come by. Now there that's something I bet you didn't know...

Sinister: raindrops on roses and whispers on kittens
by Christine Irene 04 Apr '03

04 Apr '03

Hi lovelies, how ya doin? I'm doing alright. After spending an hour at my doctor's office and another 2 hours at the hospital last night, I got word that I have apparently gone and gotten my lung infected. How I managed this I am not quite sure. My doctor was pretty horrified to hear that I had gone 10 days with a fever and not gone to her office sooner. It's funny about doctors in the US, they yell at you for not going to see them sooner, yet, they won't give you a deal on their cost if they know you have no money. I feel especially sorry for those with children. Kids have nothing to do with the situations they are born into, they shouldn't have to go without basic healthcare, simply because of a lack of insurance. that is just not right. i read in the chicago tribune last week that 40% of americans are sans healthcare. that just doesn't seem right. Granted, I believe it, It just seems assenine that in a country with the wealth of the US, people have to go without anything. I feel that I must address this onlist, one last time, and then never again. I am sorry that my comments in recent days have caused conflict on the list. That is not to say that I am sorry for saying those things, I am just sorry that it has had negative effect on list. For that I am sorry. i'm not a fan of the sound of music really. in all fairness, i have not seen it in years, perhaps i would like it now. i remember when i was 11 or so i found a Staci Q album (yes, album) that had a song called "A Few of my Favorite Things" or maybe just "My Favorite Things" anyway, It struck me as odd that she would be singing that song. i was expecting the one from The Sound of Music. It, of course, was not the same version, but a rather weird 80's techno-dance queen-cum-pop star version of the original. i can't recall the lyrics, something about BMW's and champagne. weird. do you remember staci q? "two of hearts, two hearts that beat as one. two of hearts, come on, come one." good stuff :o) ah well. the weekend should be nice. class all day tomorrow, then my niece's first birthday party. of course, my doctor advised that i stay in and sleep all weekend. that isn't really an option, besides, she'll never know. mu hahaha. anyway, have a lovely weekend everyone. love ~stine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: A little bit of Sinister history...
by MRissbrook＠aol.com 04 Apr '03

04 Apr '03

Hello again. I liked Mark Castrato's posting about "old" Sinisterines, and he is dead right in saying that they were some of the funniest people you could meet. I work in Manchester, and yesterday had lunch in the "Square Albert," a pub opposite the Town Hall, scene of the Xmas 1997 (or was it 98? I am old and my memory's a failing!) B&S shows, and twas in the Square Albert that I attended my first large scale Sinister meet up. In fact, it may well have been one of the first ever big Sinister meet ups. So what has happened to the "old" gang? If I wasn't so fucking hopeless at keeping in touch with people I'd probably have a better idea, obviously, but I'd love to hear from Tag, JJ, rachel, Keith, Chris etc etc etc again. By the way I'm claiming the credit for being the first to call Stu Gardiner "Tall Stu", or "Tall Git" as I believe I called him, as I had the dubious privilege of standing behind him at the three Town Hall gigs. I am 6'2", and still couldn't see anything due to the sheer freakishness of his height. He belongs in a circus! One change I have noticed in this board over the years is that there seems to be less debate now. I'd rather read a few short posts, than one long self important one. But then I have the attention span of a gnat, and a prepensity to gossip.
