Sinister: o.o.o.f.
by Miss Marianna Longmire 29 Jan '02

29 Jan '02

Egads. Double egads. Hello there Sinister. Sweet sinister. Sweet Sinister that keeps me going in my hour of need. Or week of need. Or month of need. You see, things have been going bad here in MissMariannaLand. They were going swimmingly well, but like most things in my life, and indeed in Jordan's top after childbirth (we can only hope) everything good is plummetting to my knees. I would like to tell all you lovely people the details but alas, I fear rehashing them will make me sad. And I'm trying not to be sad. 0 / /| /\ See! That's me dancing and trying not to be sad. Oh bugger. In summary: I need to find a new place to live within a week, but am scared of strangers. I have no money. I have a job but won't be paid for two weeks. I have lost the ability and will to write. And as a (wannabe) journalist, that's quite upsetting. Oh, and my heart has been squished too. Sigh. mustnotgohometoperthmustnotgohometoperthmustnotgohometoperthmustnotgohometoperthmustnotgohometoperthmustnotgohometoperthmustnotgohometoperth. xx Marianna ps. apologies for self-pitying rant. pps. no, i'm really sorry. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: a bunch of fecking jackeens the lot of them
by Jonathan Skinner 29 Jan '02

29 Jan '02

Dear all First of all if anyone can figure out what the subject title refers to please email me-lets say it is slang for dubliners but why ?? there is i'm sure a prize at the end of it but i am not sure what i hope this finds you all in fine fettle. i am in a rather spiffing mood at the moment. Nothing in particular is going right or more importantly wrong in my life which is rather nice . I never expected my last year of school to be so calm (well after the college apps et all are done dusted and registered) I only really have my mocks to contend with now and then the small matter of the finals but that is another story for another confessional. Perhaps the reason for my overwhelming good mood is the art exhibit I went to the other day in Dublin (which coincidently as a city has grown on me) It was incredible to see so many monets and renoirs and van goghs collected together in the same room in a magnificent gallery. Ahhh heaven Not much else has been going on in my life except I found out what an ampersand is (I in my ignorance actually though it was a missprint whilst reading the belle and sebastian website hee hee was my face red) Also my accomodation is fully booked now in the ould city of paris for a week (can't wait ony another gasp 60 days to go.) Today at school was a complete waste of time educationally speaking as we had 6 frees out of a 9 period day but on the other hand it was really nice becuase i got to know some of my friends a lot better than i ever did before. It is really strange-these are people that i have hung around with since starting secondary school nearly six years ago and it struck me how little i really know about them- sure we spend all lunchtimes together and today was the first time we all really chatted in depth about stuff perhaps because we had the time to do so. I mean i get on very well with each one as they are all really nice and artistic and creative in their own ways which is quite unusual in our area and we tend to keep our selves segregated from everyone else in our year as they are either motorheads or bimbos and not nice people and perhaps normal. I suppose that is really why i like being on this list so much. Nearly 1500 people with different personalities and views but extremly tolerant and incredibly nice and not at all stand offisih (well the vast majority anyway) and not the least bit annoying-makes a nice addition to my inbox after school apart from crappy forwards from people that i know. Hmm i am oddly retrospective at the moment-perhaps that is what the last year at school does to you. It is nice to see B&S touring again and the lucky buggers in sweden and denmark get to see them-i suggest they play Ireland again but that is for purely selfish reasons. Right i am off to finish some english essay then go for coffee with some friends and perhaps the flicks bonne nuit jonathan +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sweden! Belle and Sebastian! here! Me! A Swede! Oh my God! They´re coming to Sweden! They´re actually coming to Sweden! Oh my God! Tickets on sale tomorrow! French class ends when tickets are released, I´ll run to the payphone and call. Oh my God! I´m sorry for this rather meaningless post, but I can´t help it. I want to scream and I want to dance and I want to hug someone, all at the same time. Oh HURRAH, my favourite band is coming here! Sorry for this, Enthusiastic love, Astrid x P.S If I don´t get tickets I will die. P.P.S OH MY GOD! _________________________________________s_p_r_a_y_ Här börjar Internet!

Sinister: Nowhere is a tacky place
by Peter Carter 29 Jan '02

29 Jan '02

I sent this e-mail about 16 hours ago and it never appeared, so forgive me if this ends up posting twice. It's also pretty boring, so I'd advise skipping to the next one unless you're really bored. Hannah Brown shocked me by saying: >I bought "the perks of being a wallflower" yesterday and i have read too >much of it already. It's pretty good but it cost me £6.99 and if i finish >it on wednesday (which is very possible) then the book will seem all that >more expensive, roughly £1.75 worth of reading a day. So i am going to try >and read it slower so that i feel as if my money is going further. And my dear Hannah, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a little more than quite good! To be honest, if every page cost my £6.99 I would have felt I'd got my money's worth. Mind you, it'd have cost me over £700, so I'd probably be broke. Less shocking was Sam's assertion that: >I wrote to say that I thought >Will's post was the most poignant, touching, incredibly heart-felt post I've >read on Sinister, ever. Because it was wonderful, it really was. I haven't been posting much recently, you may or may not have noticed. It's a combination of a few factors. Firstly I'm a lazy git. Secondly, I've been responding to people's posts personally, instead of over the list, and thirdly, well, I think I'm becoming something of a corporate whore. Not only have I been looking into advertising for Fast Cow, I've also been dabbling in merchandise. Yes, you heard me right, there is now a selection t-shirts, mugs, and even a fastcow baseball cap, all at ridiculously high prices. Does anybody know the point at which something officially becomes a business, or is a difficult judgement to make? I'm also stuck in the middle of nowhere with a housemate who plays The Sound of Muzak, Annie and Dirty Dancing 7 or 8 times a day. To get away from all that for a few hours costs me about £5 in bus fare, plus an hour travelling time, and the last bus leaves at 10.30. So, the upshot of that is that I haven't been getting out much, and I don't really have any interesting stories at a point when Sinister is pretty much full of them. The highlight of my week was getting 'Looks Like a Russian' by Sodastream in the post. Which isn't quite as bad as it seems, as anyone who's actually heard the album will probably attest. I'm looking for a new house. I'm looking forward to the Brighton meetup. Oh, and I found out there are at least three Moldy Peaches fans who live in Bath. www.fastcow.co.uk www.eurosexuals.co.uk Peter +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i'll admit i'm feeling strange
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 29 Jan '02

29 Jan '02

like several others, i have just finished reading 'the perks of being a wallflower' which i, well, loved. but it was TWEE AS FUCK!!! it made my teeth hurt. it made me want to read about well-adjusted cheerleaders. or hard-boiled detectives. and yet i did love it. it has shoved me into a emotionally fragile place, it seems, and i will probably only get through the day without crying if i studiously avoid belle and sebastian, lovely sinister mails, and most of all, thinking. i have already 'gone weird' at matt this morning. sometimes it's just as difficult being in love as falling in it in the first place. lovely sinister mails: i'll take the risk of just giving quick props and hugs to dimitra and will; anything more and i'd have to desert my post at reception, or else be witnessed dissolving rapidly by a dozen baffled foreign students. dimitra claims she has never felt nervous meeting her many many sinisterines. much as i am looking forward to the brighton meet-up, i can't say the same thing. i truly am boring, shy, ignorant, boring, ugly, annoying and boring, and the fact that a lot of you don't realise this yet is terrifying. (nb. i am NOT fishing here, i really am feeling like this at the moment. although i admit it probably won't last and soon i'll switch to being insufferably happy, extrovert and smug.) my shyness was horribly abused on saturday at a theatre above a pub in camden. old friends from york were doing a comedy gig and forced me on stage for a sketch. i remembered why i hate the concept of audience participation so much. it was not a nice place to have our reunion, to put it mildly. plus my trains were being diverted via littlehampton, which is not a place i would choose to be diverted via. perhaps i should have foisted myself on ken, bapps et al instead, sounds like they had fun. still, i had a nice dinner, so that was something. the lightest touch can break a heart. luv archel xxx ps. richard wrote: BUZZBUZZBUZZBUZZ which was clearly meant to be a hint. clearly. so, i'll give in and point out that Buzzwords is up to date, tidy and sparkling at a NEW location: http://www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk. ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.

Sinister: i'LL bReak tHeM d0Wn n0 meRcY sH0Wn
by velocity farewell 29 Jan '02

29 Jan '02

HeaveN knoWs it's g0t t0 Be tHiS tiMe... there we are, 31st januaRy... another month is over, the first one of 2002 and nothing's changed really... only that i've got another good 8 weeks... carving... carving... anotheR sunny day here and you sing "youshouldallbemurdered"... for those of you who cannot read the connotations, i'm sorry and i don't mean to murder anyone... 2 weeks till the brighton meet-up, 3 weeks and a half till dahling's birthday, a week and 2 days till i see ruvi, 8 weeks till i'm in london, 3 months till i'm in glasgow, 10 months till stay-C moves to Glasgow with us... RichaRd.J.GillandeRs said to me: "glasgow is getting over-crowded; we should force some of locals to leave the city"... I have my mini tartan skirt waiting already... and spooky the dog is microchipped coz they wouldn't let her in the Uk unless she was microchipped... life passes by... and i thought... enough with being scared... i've met so many people who were scared... almost everyone i've met in my life was scared for one reason or the other... i don't mind fear... what i cannot forgive is cowardness... fear makes heRoes... cowardness makes amoebas, like paul would say! and to be honest can you think of something more a-sexual and anti-erotic than an amoeba? I cannot... Ruvi said, 'you cannot blame people for they live on references'... which is so true... so we're standing here trying to live up to our references... being lonely coz of that.... scarying people off coz of that... but still...i wouldn't change that for the world... and all these wannabe revolutionaries and artists can just go and piss off! i'll fight their hypocrisy and pharisaism tooth and nail! coz if i don't then what is left there but a world of amoebas living on references? OK I should go now and stop ranting.. but not before i send to all of you this poem by Vladimir Mayakovsky... why? because he was a fighter his whole life, coz he died saying "Lili, love me", coz it's sunny outside... it's the Halcyon Days here... Listen! (Poslushiyette!) Listen, if stars are lit it means there is someone who needs it. It means that someone wants them to be, that someone deems those specks of spit magnificent. And overwrought, in the swirls of afternoon dust, he bursts in on God, afraid he might be already late. In tears, he kisses God's sinewy hand and begs him to guarantee that there will definitely be a star. He swears he won't be able to stand that starless ordeal. Later, He wanders around, worried, but outwardly calm. And to everyone else, he says: 'Now, it's all right. You are no longer afraid, are you?' Listen, if stars are lit, it means there is someone who needs it. It means it is essential that every evening at least one star should ascend over the crest of the building. (1914) that was all for now... take good care all of you... and remember "if stars are lit, it means there is someone who needs it"... hugs, VeL xxx "waR is the last possible creative act" Mick Travis "IF" "true creation shall rise through the ruins of the old world" Isidor Isou, L.I. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: will nature make a man of me yet? (summer meet up stuff too)
by amy.longcore＠ch.novartis.com 29 Jan '02

29 Jan '02

I'm a girl and yr a boy la la la la la la la la Will salt is lovely. I want to wash his hair and put my favorite girly conditioners in it and put it in lovely bouncy bouncing pigtails for him. Yay! Boys and girls. I've never wanted to be a boy, really. Well, that's not true. When I'm doing some hardcore hiking and camping, I'd much rather stand off To the side a moment than hug a tree?but anyway. I've made it no secret that I'm pretty open-minded in the boy vs. girl department. I like dresses, but I also like boys' jeans. I like putting powders and glosses on, But never too much. I'm the queen of the understated Grey area. I'm amy. I thoroughly enjoy hearing peoples' thoughts on their sexual outlooks And what they relate to. I, however, will not tolerate for those who travel a little Further off the trail than others to be put down. I take it personally, as I'm a bit of an Oddball myself. If you don't understand where someone is coming from, ask rather Than condemn immediately. and if they aren't fully comfortable about talking about it, let it be. if they are meant to, they will come around in time. and if you really want to know and understand them, ask questions gently. people need time to get into their comfort zones and display themselves as they want to be seen to the world, and in themselves. I just had to say that. Shyness is nice but shyness can stop you from doing all the people in life you'd like to?. Ok, so I switched the lyric? But it's been running through my head a lot. Not only am I scared of relationships anymore, I'm dead shy about Making the "first move". Yeah, I know, I'm lame. Some of you have heard the story about the man I danced with recently Who set my heart aflame. Well, he'll hardly look at me now. I'm around, his face turns red and he darts away. This is just not going to work. I've decided to forget about him for now. Not just because I don't know how to approach him again. But because it's easier. But really, am I supposed to be dead flattered and attracted At that? Or am I supposed to assume he's insane, like I am now? Maybe he thinks I'm insane? Perhaps. When I ran into him a couple days after the dancing, I was very outgoing. I said things that let him know I Liked him. So, that should have helped. I'm also hearing his heart gets broke real easily. Well, mine too. He doesn't know of belle and Sebastian anyway (content!). My friend Christopher called me up and said, "amy, we are relatively attractive, Smart and outgoing people. Why are we such social misfits in the dating Department?" I still can't answer you, Christopher, dear. But I sure can Relate to the roots of the questioning. i'm just a misunderstood cherubic hermit anyway. no one will ever find me. I wonder to myself?. Anywhere you go, even yr own bedroom, you've got a lot to live up to. Take all the good and wrap it up and hold it, just keep the bad past arm length. That's my cryptic way of telling some of you to keep a chin up. let me get my hands on your mammory glands... i just wanted to write that lyric out, thanks for the opportunity. there's always someone out there with a big nose who knows.... how to send a crush vote. bless you for the giggles, hannah. yr too cute. do you think you've made the right decision this time? prolly not, but i've got a little idea up my sleeve. upon discussing wanting to see mr. andy capp in drag LIVE and IN PERSON, a little star named kirsten and i wondered how a BIG sini summertime midwestISH meet up would go over. we want canadians, chicagoans and then some to trot their fresh faces to a desirable location that will work out for everyone. my first idea is a bit of a wee hiking trip onto a remote area of lake michigan for drinking and picnicing and being around lots of trees, water and sand. lovely. this is all near my home, which is of advantage to me, but you as well if you want to crash with me. we can camp on the beach as well... i'm open to any and all ideas, but planning should start now in order to accomadate as many persons as possible. we're talking mass sinister love here, folks. i want you to come from all over. so, do it. put yr thinking caps on and fly wiff me. we could even make it canada, chicago, detroitish, minnesotta....whatever. just know i've made an offer. maybe july 4th weekend since people may have a day off of work then.... writing frightening verse.... yeah, i know, i'm still holding all of yr surverys for ransom. work is a 4-letter word.... right. so, yeah. i'm writing from work again. it's growing dismal here. anyone wanna hire me? i'm good at stuff and could clean yr house. stuff can be so hard on you. but, if you hired me to take care of yr stuff, you wouldn't have any more stuff problems! so, don't let stuff get in yr way, hire me today! they spent a few weeks on our trail.... hellos to the new folks, baker baker is nice. i really adored the kissinger post. take care. let yourself lose yourself, amy (home: dotsandloops(a)yahoo.com) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: dancing in me jim jams!
by Hannah Brown 28 Jan '02

28 Jan '02

hello people, I bought "the perks of being a wallflower" yesterday and i have read too much of it already. It's pretty good but it cost me £6.99 and if i finish it on wednesday (which is very possible) then the book will seem all that more expensive, roughly £1.75 worth of reading a day. So i am going to try and read it slower so that i feel as if my money is going further. I have all of a sudden become very into reading, perhaps because i am in my final year and am making EVERY effort to avoid work. You were all very helpful so if you have any book reccomendments then email me with the name and a short description. It would be much apreciated (i think i spelt that word wrong). I also bought a polaroid camera and its novelty factor wore out very quickly. I took pictures on the bus and walking down the street but they are all a bit blurred. Next time i go to a sinister meeting i will take photos of people and charge them £2 for the pleasure. It's all a bit strange here at the moment, they are making a 13 part documentary about my college and there are lots of cameras around all the time. I was chatting with my friend and one swooped behind me. They wanted me to talk about the college but i froze up and decided against it.It's going to be even weirder when they broadcast the programme because it's like they are documenting a piece of my life. Friends can be great sometimes can't they! Yes i am stating the bleeding obvious but friends can also fuck with your mind. This weekend my flatmates have been wonderful and at times i just wanted to hug them. I was sat in my room feeling a bit blue when one of my flatmates walked in with his dodgy dog alarm that woofs, he was dancing to it like it was a rave tune and i couldn't help but laugh, he looked so silly. Then we spent the evening just talking about stuff. We played the alphabet game, drank ribena and just laughed loads. We did this until 5 in the morning and it felt great. It sounds so cheesy but i love evenings like that, you know, where you learn something about a person or hear a funny story that happened to them. One more thing (sorry). I have converted my mum into being a massive Nick Drake fan. I bought her "the introduction to nick drake" for christmas and now she is crazy about him. She tells me that "the music really gets into her soul" which i think is really sweet. there was no point to this e-mail love hannah +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
