Sinister: how embarrassment
by sophia katrina 19 Jan '02

19 Jan '02

I'm afraid only antipodeans will get that subject line. It comes from this TV show I used to watch when I was little, with this girl called Kylie Mole who was actually a 30-year old comedian with fake freckles who used to wind her gum around her finger and say how embarrassment when she meant how embarrassing and.. um, maybe you had to be there... Thanks, everyone, for a very lovely welcome (& an electronic application on a postcard!) despite the fact that I & my computer committed an act of collective stupidity & posted twice. Blame it on teething problems - I just came out of the nursery, after all - sophia X _________________________________________________________________ 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: And mYYY PLUG in KEEENNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYY crucifies MYYYYYYYY Enemies...........WHEN I'm TIRIIIIRED of POSTTTTTTTTIINNNNNNNG..OOOOOOOOOHHHHHYEAH!!!!!!!
by Joe Vester 19 Jan '02

19 Jan '02

I'm sorry about the long title but you have to admit that all the extra letters were very necessary to illustrate quite how wonderful that song is. I also hope that I am allowed to call Ken "Kenny" I also thoughtI would mention that I am thinking of doing something very slightly illegal on Febuary 9th. Not very illegal. And it may not come to being illegal at all. but enough bantering-I am thinking of running away to Brighton for a day. I probably won't...and how i'll get down is a mystery to all, as I very much doubt I would be able to raise the money for a train ticket on my own...Of course...I could just say to my Mum: "Mother Dear, It would be awfully kind of you to let me run off to brighton for a day using your money to see a load of people some years older than me who I never met before. And by the way, the train will be 30quid and did I tell you I love you very, very much?"[Joe looks sweet and innocent] Hmmmm...I can see one or two problems... OH FUCK OHFUCK--FF----FUCKING *******(that word is so rude that you are not even allowed to type one letter of it so that people know what it is) VALENTINES DAY!>>>FUCK<<<<VALENTINES DAY! Valentine's day sux for one reason, and one reason only. I never get one. So this won't be "the worst valentine's ever", it will just be another "bloody fucking valentine's" I have mock exams very soon. I should be revising like mad, but instead, I'm writing boring rubbish to 1500 people across the world. So, When I fail all my GCSEs, it'll be _your_ fault. I hope you're ashamed of yourself. Right now I'm suppossed to be writing a load of balls for art about how my crappy little lino-printing is somehow linked to the Pre-Raphelites and all sorts of other useless bunk. I've now decided my A-levels (if I pass GCSE, that is) , well some of them: 1-ENGLISH 2-PHILOSOPHY 3-HISTORY 4-?????? You see, I can't think of another subject that I can do that is interesting. I could do Geology or Physics, and what I really want to do is Art, but I'm not sure I should do Art, as I'm really not that good at it and it's not like I'm going to do Art at University or anything. School sux. I have to write a piece of creative writing for English. I think it'd better be good as it's coursework but the best thing I've come up with so far is a story about how some indiekids who get bullied etc.start killing people .It's a bit like "if..." which is such a good film. My story, however, is really quite shite. I did think of some names, though. They are Rachel, Will and Stuart. Guess where those came from? I wonder if I could go and steal a story from the archives. The problem is most of the things I can think of are too long for a short 3000 word essay type thing. They need a novelette (for rats to make their beds from) if not a saga-epic of the 21st century. Ulyseessseseeesses Styleeeeeeee I'm now going to do some talking about other people (What? Joe noticing the world outside his own head? Unheard of) : I think it was Miss Grapenut who talked of some dolls called the Bratz and how little kids see teenagers. My little sister thinks all the girls are like Barbies and the boys like Ken. She's 6. And listens to Britney spears sing "I can't get no satisfaction". She also gets huge amounts of Kudos (it would seem) at school from having a teenage brother. One of her friends is always talking about how she fancies someone called Meshac (yes 6). She's the same one who called me a "fucker". I seem to remember that Miss Grapenut ended with "Do they really see teenagers like this?" (or something similar) and I think the answer's yes. And she (my sister) knows about the whole sex thing. And rather a lot of other things that are really quite shocking from a 6 year old. I sure as hell didn't know all about that then. Miss Grapenut also mentioned not understanding how people couldn't find you attractive because of gender. Personally, I can't understand why the hell girls can be bothered with boys at all when girls are so much more attractive. But I'm pleased they do. Otherwise, life would really quite boring for me. And it would be the end of the human race, but... Elise talked about talking in an English accent. When we (my mother and I) go to Ireland (which is pretty frequent) she starts talking in an Irish accent which I find infuriating although she does it completely unconciously. But I'm sure it's much nicer in you, Elise Several new people did lovely first posts I tried to count the number of Fruitloop mentions I'd had but there seems to be (as Ben mentioned) !VIVA RACHELS! Love Joe of Rachel Pancake fame P.S. I may have failed in getting one of my sisters to be a nice indiekid but the new one is a clean canvas. And she seems like the type, based on the fact that she sits there and looks about her interestedly all the time. I will play belle and sebastian to her in her sleep. hehehehehe... +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

hello dear sinister, due to some inexplicable hullabalooing mess that's been going on in my head, i stopped posting again. not sure if i'm going to start soon. but you're all ace. "what are you doing now then?" well, lovely mr nik ovenden has kindly asked me to post his goodbye message here, as his computer started playing silly tricks on him. so here is: Well, this is my last goodbye because I'm off saturday morning! A big thankyou to the guys and dolls who've offered me beds this coming year. You will be rewarded in numerous ways, I guarantee. Also thanks to the lovely people who've been mailing me with wellwishing. You're all darlings. Parcel check? Many people have said thankyou. Many haven't. If you've got them, so much the better. Some of you are still on my "Out" pile (including Ms Eastwood and Ms Fruitloop). Some of you are in my "Out until June" pile (Ms Sunset, Ms Markham, Mr Arnot poor soul who's been waiting over a year and WILL BE REWARDED WITH NON-CURRENCY RICHES BEYOND HIS WILDEST DREAMS so long as his address hasn't changed...) among them). Anyways, it's been lovely. So long and thanks for all the fish, and I'll be back on June 16th, signed up again. I may consider the nursery rebirth! You're all beautiful. All my love, Niko xxx PS my holiday email address needs correcting: nikoisonholiday(a)yahoo.co.uk NOT @yahoo.com ok that's me done, then.. take care everyone special hugs to *birthday*boy* johnjohn! :) and to my secret agent. =) special apologies to maja, sorry i haven't mailed so long.. byeexxx ola (lalala) -- Znudzilo Ci sie logo w komorce?

Sinister: You can't chide Mike Love forever
by lazylinedavid＠netscape.net 18 Jan '02

18 Jan '02

No idea why I'm choosing to write my first post at the end of a long day in the office, completely knackered. Just thought I'd say hello to you all. Quick question: does anyone know anything about the whole Wizard of Oz / Dark Side of the Moon connection? It's probably very ignorant of me not to know about this, but apparently they're showing the movie, with the Pink Floyd songs, at Cinema Classics here in NYC on Sunday, and it might be fun to go along. It all sounds a bit Flaming Lips to me. And has anybody read 'Blindness' by Jose Saramago? I'm about 70 pages through it and it's freaking the living daylights out of me. Please tell me it gets a bit happier... Managed to see the Jools Holland TV show on video the other day, very interesting. Has someone injected Stuart with confidence or something? I didn't get to see any of the shows they played last year - is he like that all the time now? Staring into the camera like a right little vixen, he was.

Sinister: i tried to take it all in, but now all i remember is trying to remember
by Kieran Devaney 18 Jan '02

18 Jan '02

when i was at primary school there was a boy in our class, anthony, that nobody really liked, he was a bit of a loner. he was a rough boy too, though that wasn't the thing that excluded him; far from it, ours was quite a rough class, it was more that he never really knew where to draw the line, was rough at inappropriate times, and didn't really know how to deal with kids who were harder than him. he had a nervous twitch. he was a bit of a pariah at school, the teachers didn't like him either because he was the sort of person that easily draws attention to themselves, and because his mum was the busybody who ran the PTA and was forever goading the staff into meetings about cake sales and fund raising, and harrassing them at breaktimes for 'chats' about her sons progress. he seemed custom built to annoy our primary school teachers, and they seemed custom built to be annoyed by him. his time at primary school can't have been easy. i can't really remember why, but i was sort of became this boys friend at school, though not always, i had my own group of proper friends, and with childish capriciousness we would elect to play with him some days, and exclude him others - he was a bit rough for us really. he didn't seem to mind though, and was quite happy to join in when we let him. i think i saw a genuine sort of innocence in him, he never meant to hurt anyone really, and was never malicious, as most of the other kids could be. he was just boisterous, it was in his nature. one of my most vivid childhood memories includes this boy. i can't remember exactly which year we were in, or which classroom, because we didn't have our proper teacher in that day, and we were being covered by the awful deputy headmistress, mrs connelly. it was a monday, i know it was a monday because i can remember that the day before was a sunday, and my parents had gone out and left my brother and i with my gran and grandad. we didn't like staying with them, they only lived down the road and their house was too familiar, not familiar like home is - a different sort of familiar. it was always too cold or much too hot up there, still is, and very dark because there are trees on the edge of the pavement outside their house, blocking the sun for the whole day, except a few hours in the morning. because mum and dad knew we didn't really like staying up there they promised to bring us back a surprise - so we agreed to stay whilst they went and did the shopping. they bought us back a pair of pencils, one each; but not ordainary pencils, these had a rubber on one end, and they came unsharpened, the tip was flat and smooth, so that when you were ready to start using it you had to sharpen the flat surface away and away until the lead became a point. i always loved doing that. but best of all was the colour, they wrote in ordinary grey like normal pencils, but the outside was covered with a kind of metallic effect, with black patterns across it. metallic green for me because green was my favourite colour, and red for my brother because red was his favourite colour. we were thrilled, and i sharpened mine and started doodling with it right away. of course i wanted to take it to school the next day to show off, but my mum said i probably shouldn't, because it might get taken; she knew what they were like in my class. but i put it into my pencil case anyway, and my pencil case went into my bag for the next day. as i said, our real teacher wasn't in that day, so mrs connelly was covering us, which was annoying because she hated people talking in class, and i wanted to tell people about my new pencil. we were set some work to do, i think it was sums but thats not important. i was sitting next to anthony and i was so eager to show him and my other friends the pencil that, in my haste, as i took my pencil case out of my bag i dropped it onto the floor. it was one of those tin pencil cases that comes in two bits, and one half is a lid and the other is the base, anyone who has owned one of those sorts of pencil cases will know that if you drop them they never stay shut, and all your stuff ends up on the floor. all my stuff ended up on the floor, including the pencil, which had rolled a bit and settled under anthony's desk - that was the first thing i went to pick up. as i grabbed it anthony said "hey! thats mine!" and pulled it out of my hand, "no, it's not - give it back!" i exclaimed, growing immediately despondant, i sensed this wouldn't end well. "it's mine!" anthony said with an air of finality, and by this time, what with all my stuff still spilt on the floor and our arguing breaking the silence of the classroom, everyone had turned to look. mrs connelly made her way over. "whats going on?" she asked, already annoyed "he's got my pencil..." "he took my pencil.." we both spoke at once. mrs connelly rarely minced her words, rarely dragged anything out, she rolled her eyes, "give me the pencil." she demanded, "but miss..." "sit down and get on with your work." she took the pencil. there was no arguing with her, we both felt like crying; in fact the only thing making me feel a bit better was seeing him feeling as bad as me. i wasn't sure why he should feel bad, after all - he had tried to take my pencil, and hadn't even been punished for it properly. i resolved never to be his friend again, to treat him as everyone else did. we both cried at breaktime, i sat alone in the corner, and i could tell that anthony had been too because his eyes were red and his cheeks flushed as we went back inside. we sat apart and exchanged angry glances for the rest of the day. i wanted to fight him, but i knew i would lose - i felt hopeless, and i couldn't tell my mum what had happened because she had told me not to take the pencil to school in the first place. it was my own fault. we got back home, and there was a while before teatime, where we'd usually watch telly or something, but my brother ran straight away and got out his lovely red metallic pencil and started doing some colouring in. i wanted to cry again. but then something strange happened, my mum came in from the kitchen saying: "do you want to do some drawing as well kieran?" i cringed. "no" i said sullenly "are you sure?" she said, handing me a pencil that looked suspiciously like my metallic green one. i looked closer at it, my mum grinned at me and went back into the kitchen. it was definitely the same one i had had on sunday, i recognised the way it had been sharpened, and the little bit of rubber that had been worn away. she definitely hadn't got it from mrs connelly, because mrs connelly never gave back stuff she confiscated, and besides, i had run straight from mrs connelly's class out into the playground to mum at the end of the day. there was no way they could have spoken during that time. she must have taken it out of my pencil case before i went to school. i didn't feel much better really. but i didn't tell anthony the truth in school the next day, didn't apologise - i couldn't bring myself to do it. in time we silently forgave eachother, and i lost interest in the pencil - the novelty was gone, and i couldn't use it without thinking about what i had done to my friend. it might still be in the house somewhere, abandoned at the back of a drawer or cupboard. you can still buy that type of pencil in various places, i saw a pack of five of them for 99p in a papershop the other day, they looked cheap. ________________________________________________________________________ i can't get that memory out of my head at the moment, perhaps it was seeing those pencils for sale the other day that sparked it. the last i heard of anthony he had been sacked from a job as a lifeguard at the local swimming baths on his first day for groping a girl he was 'rescuing' i see him around sometimes too, and we usually nod at eachother but don't speak. what's odd about that memory is that i can't really recall all of it, i can see our exchange of words as he snatches back the pencil, but the other details are fuzzy. i can picture it happening in nearly all the classrooms of my primary school, with us at varying ages and sizes. it occurs to me too that the memory works a lot like the biscuit story from 'hitch hikers guide...' you'll know the one if you've read it, and will possibly have noticed the similarities. and yet thats how i remember it, even though that certainly happened before i read the book. have i adapted a memory to part of a story from a book? it's hard to say really - theres something about it that doesn't seem quite right in my recollection, an extra paragraph that i can't quite access in my head. - kieran _________________________________________________________________ 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: my coffee smells like cheese and other stories.

It does, you know. Have discovered today, after 5 years of owning this monitor, that you can change the angle of the screen by tilting it while rotating the base. That'll be my Martha Stewartism for today, loves. Rusedski Vs Henman on the telly. isn't it thrilling? Jenny Payne said "Gynormous". To me this sounds like the medical term for what is parochially known as, ahem, bucket fanny. She also said "Dissemination". To me this sounds like, etc. etc. Honey, a note of confirmation is needed. If, hypothetically, I claimed to have a gynormous (cf.) Henry Kissinger in my pants, but was actually lying, crying bitterly ironic tears into my keyboard, would I need to post a picture on the body parts page? Well?

Sinister: b&s are like fried chicken and here's why
by sophia katrina 18 Jan '02

18 Jan '02

Hello beautiful people, Just a short introduction and i promise i won't ramble. I've loved waiting in the nursery and reading all your posts. My name's Sophia and I am an Artiste. I used to live in London but after i finished art school I had one of those moments you see in those godawful made-for-tv movies where the heroine sacrifices her chance for fame and fortune in the big city to be home with her family on a ranch in Nowheresville, USA. She says no to Spielberg, sends her agent packing with a witty riposte, throws her mobile phone into the Hudson, Thames or equivalent river, appears at the front door of the run-down but homely ranch house to the delight of her apron-clad mom and chubby-cheeked siblings, and spends the rest of her life riding horses and baking pumpkin pies. Lucky for me, my family don't live in Nowheresville - they live in Australia, by the sea. so that's where i am. (Not in Perth, though, where the only other Australian listee seems to be. On the other side). When the traffic stops, and before the birds start singing, you can hear the ocean. I'm ashamed to say that I started listening to Belle and Sebastian because of a boy. He was (and, i'm sure, still is) very beautiful, if that's any excuse, and he was also an artist, which is no excuse and honestly, I should have known better. I really Liked him and in one of our few conversation he mentioned looper and b&s. So in the spirit of I-must-like-everything-the-object-of-my-desires-likes, i started listening to Fold Your Hands Child..., and that was it. For the next few months, while i was writing my thesis and hanging my degree show, belle and sebastian were all i could listen to. It was like the food cravings a pregnant friend described to me: it isn't that you crave fried chicken, it's that the very thought of eating anything other than fried chicken makes you physically ill. That was how I felt about Belle and Sebastian. Nothing ever happened with me and the beautiful boy, but what telemovie is complete without a dash of bittersweetness? i'm waiting for a rugged (yet intellectual) Nowheresville, USA cowboy to come into my life and bake pumpkin pies with me so my telemovie can have a happy ending. Applications on a postcard please! My first post and i've already broken a promise. Please accept my very humblest apologies. Sophia Katrina X hello beautiful people, just a short introduction and i promise i won't ramble. my name's sophia and i am an artiste. i used to live in london but after i finished art school i had one of those moments you see in godawful made-for-tv movies where the heroine sacrifices her chance for fame and fortune in the big city to be home with her family on a ranch in nowheresville, nevada. she says no to spielberg, sends her agent packing with a witty riposte, throws her mobile phone into the hudson, thames or equivalent river, appears at the front door of the run-down but homely ranch house to the delight of her apron-clad mom and chubby-cheeked siblings, and spends the rest of her life riding horses and baking pumpkin pies. lucky for me, my family don't live in nowheresville, nevada - they live in a big city in australia, by the sea. so that's where i am. when the traffic stops, and before the birds start singing, you can hear the waves. i'm ashamed to say that i started listening to belle and sebastian because of a boy. he was (and, i'm sure, still is) very beautiful, if that's any excuse, and also an artist, which isn't. i reallyreally Liked him and in our first proper conversation he mentioned looper and b&s. in the spirit of i-must-like-everything-the-object-of-my-infatuation/desire/lust-likes, i started listening to Fold Your Hands Child..., and that was it. for the next few months, while i was writing my thesis and hanging my degree show, belle and sebastian were all i could listen to. it was like the food cravings a pregnant friend described to me: it isn't that you crave fried chicken, it's that the very thought of eating anything other than fried chicken makes you physically ill. that was how i felt about belle and sebastian. nothing ever happened with me and the beautiful boy, but what telemovie is complete without a dash of bittersweetness? i'm waiting for a rugged (yet bohemian and intellectual) Nowheresville cowboy to come into my life and bake pumpkin pies with me so my telemovie can have a happy ending. applications on a postcard please! my first post and i've already broken a promise. please accept my very humblest apologies. sophia katrina X _________________________________________________________________ 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.
