Sinister: The boy most likely and the girl most lovely
by Danny Farrell 19 Nov '01

19 Nov '01

Hello lovelies, I skived off uni *again* today,so instead of catching up on some work or maybe even trying to get some notes off the internet i decided to lie in bed reading a book all morning and then post to the lovely sinister,obviously or you wouldn't be reading this. Its winter now i think,there's no getting away from that. I love winter,it may not be my favourite season,i love autumn when its actually autumn rather than just strong winds and heavy rain. Maybe that's all its ever been and i just imagine the picturesque autumns in my head. I imagine lots of things but im sure there must have been at least one nice autumn like that. Anyway winter, yes i love winter and a lot of the time its real winter,like the lovely picturesque winter. But its not today,its just really really really cold and grey and horrible. With weather like this how can i ever motivate myself to start an essay on a subject i know nothing about and care even less still. I like to sit at my window with a mug of hot chocolate and stare out at the sky,sometimes it gives me inspiration,sometimes it just makes me realise how much beauty there is out there in the world and maybe ill jump in my car and go somewhere lovely just out of the blue. That's the best way to do things,just out of the blue,it makes them seem nicer,more exciting. I just seen a cat kill a bird earlier,i almost cried. It made me think about the wildness of nature and all,perhaps not in as cliched a manner as 'the wildness of nature' but that's the easiest way to describe it. Kittens are the loveliest wee things and then they become cats and they too are very beautiful and lovely,but they're vicious. They kill birds for no reason then they drag their body to their mummy and preen around it as if they've done something beautiful and lovely and should be petted and given kitty treats. That sometimes upsets me,it would be lovely to be able to train them to leave birds alone or to play with them but that's not their nature,they just want to kill them. It kind of got me thinking, i remember my friend was asking me what do i think would happen if there was a superior race to humans. They were nice and kind but just superior but sometimes they got mad and just killed one of us. I didn't think about it much though. It was too sci-fi-esque for me,then he started talking about giant spiders with eight eyes so, I stopped wondering. He was wondering why i stopped. Sometimes however i do wonder what would happen if one little thing in my life had changed,what if i had been born 10 miles from where i was, would i be a totally different person? I'd have a different environment and different friends and suchlike. Obviously i'd be a little different but i wonder would i be completely different? Would i have discovered B&S, sinister? Maybe i'd have became a ned,what a scary thought. This kind of scares me because it leaves so much to chance,if i was born 200 miles away my life could be infinitely worse or even better. Or maybe i'd be the same,maybe all this does have an influence but the MEness in me would always shine through and bring me here,to where i am now. I'd prefer to think that,i really would. On the same lines i also wonder what if i took over someone elses life? Would i just reconcile it with my own? Would they in effect just become me and then after a weeks time they just would be me sitting chatting on sinister or sitting in a country park at 3am or would i have to carry on with their life. Maybe id be Jim working 9to5 as a data analyst and then come home to dress up as a woman and go out clubbing. Maybe i could be Derek, i'd be at university and it would be the best time of my life, "oh man it wid be fine", just burds n bevvy and constant parties,but never let the uni work slip,oh god no,because work is the most important thing in his life. Completely destined to be an integral cog in some corporate executive network. Anyway. I managed to stay up for some forty hours recently, not the fifty odd managed by someone else but it still made me go temporarily crazy. Us Scottish boys eh :) not that its an achievement, but i didn't really have another option unless i wanted to get kicked out of uni,i kind of did, so i stayed up and revised like a good boy (chatted on sinister, read books,drank hot chocolate, anything except revise). Anyway after i got home from my test (it went okay) i didn't even go straight to bed,i faffed about for hours. however when i did go to bed i slept for some 14 hours and also had a very strange dream: I dreamt i had led some sort of communist revolution,i don't remember how i won but i did,i got into power which was fun but it was all screwed up and wrong. I had to banish all the intellectuals and artists because they were speaking against how the 'movement' had been destroyed,how it was no longer the same and i had corrupted it. Anyway the scary bit,apart from the fact i actually was dreaming this was that it was like a big corporate communist state. We didn't walk about in army gear,oh no! We walked about in suits and ties,we didn't have midnight meetings,we sat round tables made by ikea drinking coca-cola,i can actually remember the cans and they were perfect coca-cola cans. I would give big long speeches over television but there would still be the ad-breaks and of course all food and suchlike was rationed however the suppliers were of course McDonalds. Anyway that's just a wee aside,it made me laugh when i woke up,i can just imagine the next revolution. They'd show it on TV - "The Flargnanar Revolution" Fade to black. Big can of cola blazes onto screen "Sponsored by Coke", clothes and weaponry provided by nike. No longer the big questions of how can we survive as a communist state oh no. Should we get burger king or mcdonalds for the food? Reebok or Nike for clothes? Decisions.Decisions. I think maybe i've hurt people,unintentionally. Don't you just hate when that happens? All i've done is be myself yet maybe i've hurt someone,maybe more than one person. I wish i hadn't,i hope im wrong but im sorry. Friends,bah, who would have them ? he he Okay i'll go now Love and hugs and a touch of panache, Danny xxx I always dreamed i'd love you I never dreamed i'd lose you In my dreams i'm always strong P.S Thank God miss llew has returned from her months break, however enlightened miss Dorothy Parker is,she shouldn't give sagacious pearls of wisdom that keeps our llaura away :) _________________________________________________________________ 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: The Swedish Anti-Mobbing Team!
by Astrid Wiezell 19 Nov '01

19 Nov '01

Hey all of you! Well, reading Rachel Fruitloop´s post, I must say that I have to explain the anti-mobbing thing a bit more :) It´s an anti-bullying-group, we´re supposed to make sure no one gets picked on or are getting teased by the other kiddo´s. and that no one walks alone during the lunches feeling like they want to kill themselves. we are there to try to make the school a better place. it works marvellous. well, actually, it don´t, but i wish it would! also, the pictures she mentiones can be found at: http://www.angelfire.com/ego/astrid/astridschool.html (schoolfoto) and the sunsets are at: http://www.angelfire.com/ego/astrid/aroomwithaview.html that´s all for now. today we are going to have our friend emelie film us in the rehearsal room down in the beasement at the yourh club. you can add a really cool effect called low light that makes it all look dizzy, blurry, and a bit like it´s all a dream. LOVELY! just hope that we´ll play our songs right :) we´re recording a cd for our own money this winter, it´ll probably be in 2002, and it will be fantastic. there are some talking about who´s going to sing. it might be me. eeeek! *excited-but-very-nervous-scream* stars and cuddles, Astrid x _________________________________________s_p_r_a_y_ Här börjar Internet!

Sinister: picnics, weekends and TEFL
by bethan macleod 19 Nov '01

19 Nov '01

hiya Sinister peeps I'm so sorry I missed the Primrose Hill picnic. It sounds like you all had a lovely day. I'll be there next time. Defo. Any juicy gossip to report back on? Yeah, come on, there *must* be! I had such a miserably dull weekend. I'll spare you the tedious details. The worst part is the hollow feeling of disappointment i've got because something i've been looking forward to wasn't what it should have been. It has compounded my usual monday blues. I'm thinking of doing a Teaching English as a Foreign Language course and then escaping somewhere sunny. Or just far away. I'm in a bad mood and I don't want to drag you all down here with me so i'll stop now. bye, and thanks for listening :) beth _________________________________________________________________ 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: kiwi; smoking; aftermath of randomness; questions about boys that I would like answered please; stuff; minor b+scontent.
by idleberry 19 Nov '01

19 Nov '01

Hello.. Can you believe it? A whole digest without a single post from me within. I guess I must have been busy this morning. Hey, I was a lurker for a morning, how about that? I�m back doing my whole sneaky-sneaky thing at work right now. A bunch of stuff in no particular order: I�m really enjoying kiwi fruit at the moment. Did I tell you about my health kick? (*yawn*- a thousand sinisterians). I keep eating kiwi fruit. Its not as good as chocolate, but for comedy value, it�s the next best thing. I was asked if I had still given up smoking cigarettes by Rachel Fruitloop Well, in answer to your question, it�s a sort of yes. The only time I have been naughty and unable to resist the fiendish temptations of cigarettes was on Saturday, when I met up with someone from Sinister. Oh, and the Saturday before that as well, when I went to a gig. You must forgive me though, because my excuse is feeble, but you know, on both occasions, it was sort of eek, new people. I went to the gig on my own you see, and spoke to people. But in order to cope, I had to smoke. So I did. I think that�s fair isn�t it? Otherwise, I�ve been a good girl and resisted. Was shocked to discover that the original goody-two-shoes, my mum, actually used to smoke herself. Apparently only when she was out drinking, and it �didn�t count�. But I informed her it did. If you smoke cigarettes, you are a smoker. If you drink you are a drinker. If you swim you are a swimmer. If you run you are a runner. If you have sex you are a �. Argue with me as you please on this. Archel said she got an e mail from Stuart Murdoch about buses. Well poo to that, I got one from Astrid and she said cool stuff that made me smile and inspired me to pick up my guitar (and put it down again after fifteen minutes) then start work on writing stories, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it, girly. ;-) Its cool what the effect of a stranger can have on you. Send someone off this list a random e mail. Go on. Just to them, tell them something. I sat up late last night, writing in my notebook. I wrote about the labels in the cloakroom when I was little at school, where the teacher wrote your name on a piece of card and there was a picture next to it. I wrote about having wet tights. I wrote about dancing with the boys nobody ever wanted to dance with for ceilidh dancing at school, a few weeks before the Christmas party. I wrote about the way their sleeves were always too long on their jumpers, and you found your own hand being covered by them. The way those boys always looked at the floor, and the way they never held you in their arms like they were supposed to, the way it was as if you were disgusting or dirty or something. (maybe that was just me.). But probably more likely because they were afraid- afraid of their friends teasing them and saying �you�re in love with idleberry! Wooo!�. Or afraid of their friends going one step further and telling that they did like me. And afraid of rejection added to their public humiliation, even if they weren�t interested in me, there would be nothing worse than someone you don�t want not wanting you either. Or maybe I just smelled funny. I haven�t quite decided. If anyone can suggest why boys didn�t want to hold me properly during ceilidh dancing when I was a teenager, I�d love to know. Advice: hold a lady like you hold yourself. I probably seem too keen for you right now. I�ve been posting too much recently. I sort of need to. It helps me pass the day, and I have all these thoughts aching to be released. Its odd, but I always have the best ideas when I�m too busy to think about them. I always find inspiration when I don�t have time for it. When I�m at home, and bored, and doing nothing much in particular, I don�t get inspiration, or ideas or thoughts to share. Any more takers for going out this weekend to the cinema? I heard that Camera Obscura are playing on the 24th at the Tron in Glasgow as well. I�ve heard praise about them from all sorts of people, and think I better go and listen and go to the cinema afterwards. Otherwise it will be like so many other things- I miss out on being able to join in the conversations because I don�t know what the topic is about. And even if the conversation isn�t that exciting for the participants, if you�re on the outside and listening in, it seems more enthralling. Topics of conversation I�ve never been able to participate in: Ted Hughes; Keats; Harry Potter novels; Tiswas; Swap Shop; Ataris; Joni Mitchell; Hard House; the difference between speed garage and garage; Ali G when he was still on the 11 o�clock show (I was in Norway then); Belle and Sebastian winning the Brit Awards (I was in Norway then, too); Bowlie (I was in Norway.. you get the picture); the North Berwick picnic; anything with French stuff or french words dropped in for effect; and a whole load of other stuff too. Of course, there�s a whole load of stuff I can�t be bothered to discuss, because I find it so boring. Heres a thought. I was going to ask �if you could ask anyone in the world, one question..� but decided to narrow it down to Belle and Sebastian, in order to get a little bit of content involved in this here post. If you could ask a member of Belle and Sebastian any one question, what would it be? You can make up their answer for them, if you like. And on that note, I shall depart. :-) love, idles xxxxx ===== http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/corduroysmoke and the world did get covered in a thick haze of corduroy smoke. And it felt good. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Find the one for you at Yahoo!

Sinister: wrong hand to be holding
by Rachel oj 19 Nov '01

19 Nov '01

hello darlings! i made a total fool of myself today! oh, dear. i'm *so* embarassed! this is just too awful. ouch. i met my ex today. it hurt more than i ever thaught it would, but i'm fine. really, i am. it felt good seeing him, after all. but, ofcourse, as i said, it hurt. deep. so i'm sitting here in my room, listening to "all by myself". it must be one of the best lovesongs ever (except from belle&sebastian ofcourse)! i couldn't stand going back to school after the meeting with him. we were walking in this sweet park, and there was a café just there, so we thaugh we'd sit down and have some café au lait, cause it's dead cold outside. so i took a place in the line, so i could order my coffe, and he went to catch a table. and then he walks up to me, and stands behind me (i think!) i don't look at him, i'm just staring in front of me. then i decides to hold his hand, so i does. and i'm thinking about what would happen if i'd say "you know... i never stopped loving you...". suddenly he's standing in front of me, looking confused and says "what? oh, come on! i thaught you were over me by now!" then i understood that i actually said it out loud, and not just only in my thaughts. but i'm still holding his hand... err... or not. i'm actually holding some other guy's hand! as if i wasn't embarassed enough. anyway, i'm off to england in a while. again. and tomorrow it's a consert in sweden that i'm going to! it's this nice swedish asrtist singing in swedish. i think it's called "gota lejon"... yes, that's where he's going to paly. ooh. i'm really exited! i got into rach fruitloop's post again! ooh ooh ooh. you'd better watch out, soon i might be writing just to get into the post. hee hee. no, but seriously, it's nice seeing your name in other people's posts. it makes me feel nice. anyway, rachels; how's the mixed-tape going? who's got it right now? !viva rachels! yes. ofcourse. with all my love (and lots of owls), rachel orange juice ps. i've got harry potter-fever! hee hee. i'm dead obsessed. _________________________________________________________________ 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: Oh! Get me away from here - Rob's singing.
by Robert Brennan 19 Nov '01

19 Nov '01

Hello sinister The picnic journey began well. Trains are much better than buses as has been previously pointed out. The radio in the station buffet played T-Rex's 'Jeepster'. I took this as an omen. I've no idea why. A few brave people like HannahB, James, James, Will and 2 Rachels did indeed make the climb to the top of Primrose Hill. We enjoyed the view for about 8 seconds before working out that pubs are better than hills in November. The pub was indeed grate cos it sold beer. Ace! And you could pay by credit card. Bad. Lots of nice people turned up at this point like Lucy, Lixi, MarkC, Ken, Ben, Steve, Lyns & Pris. Drinking, gossiping and bitching was done with enthusiasm and commitment until some of us lightweights got hungry and departed to eat pizza. Despite the stomach lining, my memory gets fuzzy from this point on. I recall singing a B&S medley with Pris: She handled the high notes while my alcohol-rich voice explored notes that had yet to be discovered by man and could only be appreciated in a parallel universe where Bach's ideas about well-tempered scales never took off. Oh and Casarotto beat me at Mornington Crescent. I've yet to check the rules but I reckon he did an illegal line skip. Or that could've been me. Many thanks to Ben for letting me have a roof and a sofa for the night. Hope you found your bag, Ken. On the way home my train was delayed by a points failiure. Fuck trains. Fuck them with knives. Sorry to anyone I forgot to mention. Robster __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Parks and Eagles
by Kenneth P Y Chu 19 Nov '01

19 Nov '01

Ever since the Industrial revolution, the peoples' lifestyles have taken a radical turn. Some would say for the better, and some would say worse. The world was blessed with an explosion of machines and tools that eases our lives to such an extent that a whole range of manual work are no longer a necessity. It is now possible to work, shop, live, and even engage into romance (for some) without leaving the comfort of your own home. However, what most people hadn't realised until now is that the wonderful bliss that is modern technology is actually a double edged sword - people have become lazy, the non-necessity of the outdoors manifested into the necessity of the indoors, and our chairs now form parts of our lower body (check out the size of my chair baby). This is not a healthy lifestyle.. something needs to be done. == Ken's guide to healthy lifestyle == Here are a few pointers towards a healthier lifestyle than being a pesty faced vegan geek. 1. Plenty of outdoors activity - It is important to be outdoors every now and then in order to respire in fresh outdoor air. Suggested location: top of the primrose hill in Camden, London where the air is the cleanest. Suggested duration: a maximum of 60 minutes per 8 hours of pub time. 2. Plenty of fluid - 80% of the human body is made of water, therefore fluids are important. Suggestions: Red Bull, Lager, Bitter, Red Bull, Ale, vodka, Red Bull, gin, Red Bull, Martini, Barcadi, Red Bull, whisky, Red Bull, Red Bull. Some clever sinister people invented ingenious ways of sharing various other types of fluids but those are beyond the scope of this lecture. 3. Plenty of exercise - Proper exercise is probably the most vital for good health. It is important that all parts of the body are exercised. Exercise Suggestions for various parts of the body... Legs: 2-a-side football on 10 square metre pitch.. or the lobby of an Underground station. Arms: A choice of Darts throwing (maximum 3 throws per hour), or weight lifting (recommended weight - one pint of lager). Lips: Kissing boys. Full body: Balancing on Underground train, or whatever other full body exercises you can think of. 4. Healthy eating - energy must be replentished after the strenuous exercises, for example an epic 2 hour game of darts. Suggestions: Kebabs from "Greenwich Kebab House" whose expertise in kebab making won them accolades such as the prestigious "The best chips award" from the famous food critics of the Greenwich Christian Centre. 6. Avoid drugs - smoking twiglet crumbs seriously affects health, espeically mental health (e.g. your ability to count numbers) 7. Plenty of rest - After a whole weekend of psysical and mental fitness training the importance of rest is paramount.

Sinister: BANGING AROUND!
by Hannah Brown 19 Nov '01

19 Nov '01

greetings people, So, how many of you stayed indoors on saturday? you lazy scamps; only kidding. i went to the primrose hill picnic and it was a bit worrying at first. Fair enough, i was half an hour early, but no one turned up for ages, it was just me and a very cold james (danson hatcher). We decided you were all playing a trick on us and expected you all to jump out from behind the trees. but you didn't. It all worked out in the end and i spent roughly 7ish hours drinking in that same pub, but it was well worth it. I met James,Ben, mr Brennan, Will Salt, who i imaginged to look like a baggy skater for some reason??,Mark C, Ken, three lovely lasses whos names escape me and Joe V, who was very sweet and asked me to buy his drinks for him, i was flattered by this and felt all grown up, it only feels like yesterday that i too had lots of trouble buying booze in pubs. Mark C asked me what my least favourtie B&S song was and when i said "this is just a modern rock song" i thought i was going to get attacked, they all shouted"nnnoooo, hannnah!!!!!!!!" and i thought My Sinister Days Are Over (notice the little B&S injoke there, hm), i suppose "beyond the sunrise" isnt that good but the b-sides off of TIJAMRS are just so wonderful i have to skip the first track all the time, oh it's a crime and i'm sorry. It was good fun catching up on all the gossip, there seems to be a bit more sinister romance going on with some of you lot ;), at this rate we will all end up related to each other in some way and all our children will be inbred. Im off to get some loverly antibiotics coz ive got Broncitis (prolly spelt wrong) so its no booze for me for a week, snif. keep smiling love hannahxx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
