Sinister: I want a sillustration of me! *whinge*
by idleberry 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

Hello all... *burp* Coca Cola (where did the Coke thing come from) has made me a bit gassy. You know, I started to write this long long e mail to you yesterday, but you know what happened? I hit a key and my computer ate my e mail. So now you'll have to do with this half-baked effort. There should be a recovery key for things you accidentally loose, and no, not "undo" or anything, cos it happened while I had my e mail account open. Anyway.. moving swiftly on... Changes in the fanzine have meant that my co editor is laving, and I'm gonna be the soul guardian of my fanzine. Theres all sort of things to do, but I think it will be a challenging job- trying to write stuff that doesn't bore me, cos if it does, then you nobody else will want to read it. So if any of you fancy the idea of helping out with a bit of babysitting or whatever for the little 'zine tyke, then I'd be much obiliged. I had a dream last night that I went into a job that involved my degree. Scary. But something I ought to consider. Afterall, I'm not much good for much else. Although I can hold a door open if you ask me to. I'm a it down in the dumps about things at the moment. My job isn't challenging the right bits of me; I'm living at home with parents and I don't want to be; my room is a mess and I dunno if its worth buying new stuff from Ikea or to keep it messy as an incentive to move out; I have too many clothes and can't decide what to get rid of; What I do want to get rid of I can't get rid of (ie. my podge) and I'm just feeling a bit crap over all.I think that website friendserunited is a bad idea. It shows me how much better everyone who was in my class at school is doing and makes me feel a little crap in comparrison. MSN.co.uk is scary as well. Flick your mouse cursor over the banner and ROBBIE WILLIAMS!!!!!!!!! fills your screen and that has two deterimental effects: 1.nausea 2. Everyone in your office/school will think you're a ROBBIE WILLIAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fan. And neither of these are a very good thing. Except if you're at school, you could use the excuse of nausea to skive for the rest of the day. ANyway, must go, people need to think I'm working. Love Idles xxxxx Idle boyfiend and I have been playing around with our guitars in our respective little homes of Scotland (moi) and Bournemouth (him) and come up with a little tune that sounds really quite good. ===== 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: rock'n'roll bus
by figure2＠fsmail.net 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

I shouldn't really be writing right now. Big and wee things wracking one's sensibility but, more than anything else, I should be not here, not anywhere. Shouldn't have been. Last night I met a guy who had become, in the preceeding hours, the father of his third child. Same age as me, I think. He bought me a drink and we christened her something. *In absentia*. She was with her mother and he stormed off under the falsely dawning suspicion that I was gay to go relieve the nanny of the other two. Given a dose of limbic sensibility what you *actually* do is placed in something of a contrast to what you want. Extrapolating a little farther into society in general: if one is perceived to be amongst the servant classes; you'll be abused, which places one awkwardly: neither wishing to abuse nor wishing to be abused... where am I? I tend to snicker and make rude comments which is, as you know, rather pathetic. The difference between served and servant is not social class; beauty; wealth or perception: it is attitude, and this attitudional game stinks. The gentleman/woman state is won of hard experience of how we *all* live: fakes, queens, tramps, malcontents, middle, upper and lower classes, marmosets, zebras... the daily gamut of those encountered in life, dreams and nightmares. There exists a possibility of structure in mad situations: only the madman recognises it, and the bored are charmed by it and the sensible are alarmed by it. There is no difference here in the horror and anger we all feel so, we remain in the safety of humanity. Boundaries are not pushed beyond this: to attempt is delusion. Understand your enemy. Why not kill enemies? Because they've become friends. So (I paraphrase) said an ex US President. Wheecht! I like intense, slowly. This is Gordon/gogron/rouss's E-mail now. It deflates me to announce this: makes me feel bad to know I'm not someone other than me: a person who doesn't want to change because he has a humourless mastery of trash that shall remain unrelinquished. In any case: change requires another. Balancing act. Forgive my abruptness here but I spent 20 years playing 'piggy in the middle'. I have the capacity but hardly the inclination. If it's any consolation, I'm much prettier than I was a few days ago. Not exactly tall dark and handsome, but ok enough to greet the eyes in sad lust at every girl on Princes' St. And on the bus, listening to 'Last Nite'. It's a bit weird writing posts to sinister. Things are a bit weird. I know one should put on a brave face but, the hell! let's SCREAM!!!!

Sinister: The Scottish bunch rendered this Japanese spinster knocked out!
by mayumi mune 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

They finally came to Japan and made Osaka fans sufficiently overwrought. Mr.Stevie's dulcet singing killed me every minute. Stuart's second-to-none dancing caused me to dance on my own nonchalantly, having made me forget my age. Isobel's was nice either.(and Waiting for Sarah to sing!) I've got a terrible backache now but don't give a fiddler's fart! Anyway they made my day. Yesterday morning I didn't know their actual gig. Last night I knew. That's big difference to me even though I feel now as if my reverie was over. But the dream was actually there, fully seen and felt. Thank you all of them for coming to a far cry Japan. from:mayummy +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: this is just an old-fashioned rock song
by Snoozer/ Maíra Ezequiel 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

Hello Sinister people! Today is a great day. I've got a rock band and we're playing for many people today in a public space here in our smalltown. It sounds silly but, actually, it rocks! Snooze is the band. We've got our songs, two cds and we play a lot round here and used to play in other states when we had the time. But a few months ago, the same band started another project to try to get some money to invest in the actual band. As we're all Beatlemaniacs, the only cover-project we could stand playing would be a Beatles Cover Band. So here we are, the name of this band is Revolution #9 and we were hired to play in a big public event (a motorcycle stuff, i wouldn't know how to explain), and the funniest thing is: we're playing on the top of a "trio-eletrico", which is a giant moving car that works as a huge PA, generally used during Carnival celebrations, specially in Bahia, that's next to my state. So, it's really rare to have rock concerts in trio-eletricos. I guess it's going to be kind of surreal. Lots of laughs, i suppose. Oh, i play the bass in case you're wondering and, yes, me and the two guitar players manage to do all the background vocals that are possible when you play Beatles songs. Here's the set list, too bad no one of you lives in Aracaju. ;.) (of course i'm kidding: it's good for you!) []'s everyone. Fabio Snoozer www.snoozeband.cjb.net 1. TWIST AND SHOUT 2. WE CAN WORK IT OUT 3. MISERY 4. EIGHT DAYS A WEEK 5. SGT. PEPPER'S... 6. WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS 7. TICKET TO RIDE 8. IF I NEEDED SOMEONE 9. SHE SAID SHE SAID 10. I'M A LOSER 11.

Sinister: helga?
by Kirsten Kenyon 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

yesterday was my day off. i decided to drive an hour west to madison to do a bit of shopping....sometime in the early afternoon, i was sitting in my car in a parking structure, nervously fumbling through my pockets for the scrap of paper with elise's phone number on it. i hoped she wasn't busy...ten minutes later, there was a rendevouz at the cat's meow, and soon after we traded secrets and spent a lovely afternoon traipsing around madison, trying on dresses and funny little hats, eating ice cream cones, staring wide-eyed at a hello kitty sticker photo booth, and giggling at vibrating nipple clamps. and we saw spats, too. the gift for the man who has everything. elise is positively lovely, and i could not have wished for a better day off. my mom just looked up from the newspaper and nonchalantly informed me that i "missed a good sermon at church yesterday." it was strange...she said it as though it were something uncommon. missing church, that is. i mumbled something. and she said "yah, it was about living every day like it's your last." then she said "oooh, look, another review for amelie" and something about the "cute girl." she went back to reading. all i can think is that this better not be my last day, or i'll be pretty bummed. well, i guess i won't, really, because...well. you know what i mean.... tonight started innocently enough. jon was studying for a botany exam. leslie and i were scribbling in a notebook. then things just got out of hand...the botany sketches...animals were added...various props were added...a masterpiece was created in blue ink..."bambi" meets "i love you, alice b. toklas." (a horrid film....but if you've never seen peter sellars with his shirt off...well. heh. it's fun.) we were sitting around and giggling and acting like total idiots, and the waitress came over and saw, and she laughed. she has this laugh that sounds like "ss-ss-ss" and it's quite irritating. once she tried to make me a lutheran, and i said no thank you and now she gives me funny looks all the time. if i were to live as though this were my last day.....i wonder what i'd do. *shrug* love kirsten Care2 make the world greener! 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.

Sinister: Sinister Christmas Present Exchange Or How Laura Got Even More Mix Tapes
by Laura Llew 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

I hate Thanksgiving. Don't worry it's not because of principle so I'm not about to start off on a rant of "Dear Lord, thank you for all our material possessions we have and for letting us whiteys slaughter all the Native Americans while we steal their tribal lands and gorge ourselves like pigs, even though children in Asia are being napalmed." No, I just generally hate how my house is lent to strangers for one day and I have to suffer under the restraints of acting as if I'm a charismatic outgoing hostess. Last year as I was being ushered into the front room by my mother to talk to our guests (two of which - suspiciously - were males who were my age, either one of which my mother would just happen to be ecstatic if I liked, dated, married, and ended up having kids with as I popped out the grandchildren like an easy bake oven to her welcoming arms) I saw my chance. Some loud bang occurred in the kitchen and as my mother flurried off to see what was wrong I slipped out the door, slid into my car, and was soon careening over the curves of my mountain road with no thoughts of social gatherings. I ended up in South Carolina sneaking up to the third floor of the bookstore and by the faint glimmers coming in from the skylight bonding with David Sedaris, another North Carolinian whose family puts the eak! in phreak!, by reading Me Talk Pretty One Day. It was the best Thanksgiving ever, especially after my sister told me of all the bewildered looks that went around the table as they sat down to eat and noticed I was missing. Devilish. However, Thanksgiving is the only holiday which I have feelings bordering on hatred for. Halloween is my favorite. And ever since I started thinking of Christmas as the time of year when Humbert Humbert slides into his fuzzy red suit, straps on the thick black belt, and lays in wait for the young girls to come a climbing on his lap to give his beard a tug I can't help but get in the festive mood for some eggnog. Thus, I've decided to completely skip Thanksgiving this year and to move right on in to Christmas. As such I will be answering the furtive call of many sinisterines as to what about the **************SINISTER CHRISTMAS PRESENT EXCHANGE******************** Though I'm willing to collect the names and assign the partners, I'm rubbish at explaining things. Joanna did a lot better job of describing the entire process last year than I could ever hope to do. Thus, if you want a general notion of what this is about or ideas for gifts and such then refer to her post of: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200012/msg00018.html It's just for those who want to participate (even if you're in the nursery still though we might cutesy wutesy you just an ittle wittle pacifier wier) and not mandatory by any means. Of course, this year you'll need to send me an e-mail to LLeweth(a)yahoo.com with your: * Name * Full Address * The number of presents you would like to make (since it will correspond with the presents you will receive) Last year the exchange worked as a chain so that I might give a present to Sexy Steve Kado but he was giving a present to Katy "Dorothy Parker makes me want to gulp down bathtub gin, get in a bad relationship, and attempt suicide - all in that order" Harris in the hopes that participants would get to spread their "christmas cheer" with two people instead of just one. Fair enough. However, if you'd like to give and receive from the same person then tell me and I will put those people in a different pool. That's it! Well, plus, you all have to not realize that, oddly enough, you're all sending presents to Miss Laura Llew in North Carolina. She needs the lovin', baby Laura "now it's time to meet all of Laura Llew's needs which have been severely lacking since 1977" PS - I finally chose a winner of the TRANSATLANTIC MIS TAPE CHALLANGE to discover that there's at least five more tapes out there that haven't been completed and sent yet. Thus, I have to make a deadline. To be in the contest the tapes have to be in the mail to me (postmarked!) before the end of this year. This will give those of you plenty of time to wrap things up. Plus, you'll just be able to slip it right in there with your Christmas present to me! (See how thoughtful I am?) If anyone else new wants to partcipate, all you need to do is to come up with your best mix tape and send it to me. Simply e-mail me for my address when you're ready to mail it and I shall officially enter you into the competition. There are no rules - no time limits for the tapes or anything like that. _________________________________________________________________ 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: love is the drug
by amy.longcore＠ch.novartis.com 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

~sign of the times~ so, today i was in the dinnertime line of the cafeteria at work when i noticed a stack of little chocolate mints on sale for 15 cents each. the candy wrappers were white, with the american flag emblazoned on the front. above was a sign saying that procedes from the sales went to some 9/11 relief group of some kind. i purchased 5 for 75 cents, thinking about how i would be sweet and share the milky minty chocolatey goodness with co-workers. as i hopped on the electric cart that i drive around the facilites to head back to my work area (it's like one of those golf carts), i took a closer look at the packaging on my chocolates. "procedes to benefit sodexho employee relief fund". now i'm being told that sodexho had no facilities that were hurt 9/11. ok, so i don't mind giving up some change for another company to be able to help their employees during duress, but don't lie to me. sheesh. could "sodexho employee relief fund" mean that their employee relief fund is giving to 9/11 funds? eghad, don't ask me. i'm so untrustworthy of so many charities anymore. ~virginia plain~ your miss amy had to work all weekend. the bonus: saturdays are time + 1/2 an hour pay. sundays are double time. yow. good thing, i need it! i was beginning to wonder how christmas was going to turn out for my people. so, anyway, there i was, just sittin' on yr car (sorry, i drifted into beth orton lyrics...) anyway. so, there i was, thinking my weekend was ruined. i still planned to go out after my shift saturday night and make the most of it. and, since i don't feel like sharing the evenings events with too many others, i'll share them with you! since the likes of *drama* *emotion* *crushes* & *FEELING* are so well received here. ~dance away~ i run home to primp and (i think) i was delightfully cute and feeling good. a quick listen to "me and the major" and i was on my way. i waltz into the bar and 3 tables full of people are shouting for me, jumping up, grabbing me, spinning me around, kissing me, hugging me, telling me they love me. there was a little "croak me" action on stage, so i did a hesitant rendition of "dancing queen" with my friend christina, only to find out she kept her microphone off the whole time! the farging icehole! how rude. i sounded like snot dripping from a vaporized kleenex too. for shame. ~same old scene~ i'm dancing with boys. one in particular, i've had, "relations" with in the past. i don't know him very well, sadly. and i hate to be in that situation, so i don't usually put myself in it. we had a great talk. talking about the whole do's and don'ts of the one night stand. he's a few years older than i. divorced, with children. and definetely not "my type", but we connect on certain levels. he made me feel really good about myself, in this way i've never experienced before. i felt so uncertain of my judgements and self-esteem after our tryst awhile ago. i analyze too heavily and put too much stress on myself. i mean, come on, we were both consenting, friendly adults who enjoyed eachother for the evening. why did i eat my heart out, at the age of 28 for crying out loud, for the next month?! i dunno. as i get older, i want to feel better about the decisions i make. i rarely do. amy=grey area. i can see every side of every situation, and i more or less dig myself into a big dissing hole every time. no need for that. it's that damn fantasy of finding the sweet sinister-type of boy to whisk me away, and why would i "give into sin" again when something that good could be on the horizon? whatever. but that's not all. ~lets stick together~ ok. here it is. i like girls too. it's not as easy as saying "i am bisexual". it's really not that simple, not that complex either. it all depends on the person. definetely and ultimately. i don't leave my home and drool over every one that walks by (that is, unless it's a really good day, ha). i don't really get attracted to someone until i've gotten to know them a bit. and it's, more often than not, men that i am ultimately interested in. my friend christina has been curious for years, but, alas, she is married. the thing about christina and i is that we are eachother's best friends. i wouldn't say ever, 'cuz i have other chick friends i've been close to for absolute years, but you get the idea. in the here and now, i rely on christina tons, and she, i. i am hoping to move from the area within the year, and this is devastating her. i had an after party after the bar, lots of happy people cavorting through my humble home. christina dragged me into the bathroom, pressed her forehead to mine, and began to ruminate on her love for me, and how if i go it will kill her. i make her small town life better, she says. "i don't know what i'd do without you." her eyes are crying, which makes me bust out. i continue, "christina, you know i'm miserable here, i'm not meeting anyone i can share my life with, my job is unfulfilling, my house is too expensive for my single self, i need to be in a larger city...etc...." feeling sad. i've only felt good about the decision to move until then. she's pressing her forehead back into mine, "amy, i want nothing more than for you to be happy. i want you to go out there and really meet someone. you are so due for love and happiness, amy.... i love you so much..." she kisses me. not a nifty lil' peck on the cheek or lips. she open mouth kisses me. and i am lost in it. ~these foolish things~ it went on for some time. then, foreheads still meeting, we giggle. the rest of the night was stolen kisses. my divorcee' fling even caught us once. oh dear! there was no lost confusion to it. there was no "teasing", there were no sexual expectations. sometimes a love can turn you inside out so deeply that when you find the key to releasing it, you turn it and let it go. that's what these kissings were. simply delightful. sure, waking up sunday i had pings of self-hatred over kissing a married woman! i'm friends with her husband. sometimes, when i get out of work, and christina is still working herself, i stop at her house and visit with her husband, sometimes he visits me. it's a tight unit. so, yeah, it feels bad when i think of him and think of saturday night. but, i don't feel guilty as far as the big aspect of everything goes. it happened between 2 friends who are often lost together. i can't try to justify it. and i'm not going to. it happened. it's not like i stole her, the car, the house and shot him in the gut. he's tough and sincere, he may even understand. but why put him through the knowing if it *might* cause him some undo stress? it's not like it's going to happen again. it was an emotional moment we were lost in. let me not go on about all that. ouch. ~more than this~ that line i wrote, "when you find the key to releasing it, you turn it and let it go" (meaning love). you could liken that to the list crush debate. i'd like to apologize if i offended anyone with what i had to say about that before. it was just the hurt of my past coming back to haunt me (and you). i understand how and why these cross-border, distance and time romances happen. they were the story of my life for awhile there. my first " *serious* " boyfriend was an exchange student. from brazil. that doomed me. it set a pace for the relationships to come. oh, yes, it did. ~pyjamarama~ so, my fierce and independent streak is over again, for now. all of that flirty kissy wispy stuff brought it all back. i want some damn love! *sigh* but, alas, i shall head to bed alone and pet my kitties until sleep takes over (or this damn sinus headache goes away, oooh the pain) ~oh yeah~ so, i hope i haven't been toooo ... confessional style on y'all. i just really needed to sit and write about it all for a bit. unlocking the leftover key, you see. and please excuse the roxy music themes, i've got street life blissfully on random play. sometimes i hate roxy music. not today. at all. caleb ben moore's description of his new haircut and hat reminds me of rik mayall from the young ones! the people's poet! yay! hee ;) there's been some really bootiful posts lately. thank you all. thank you for carson, thank you for poems, thank you for breakfast club inspired meet up descriptions, thank you for bringing belle and sebastian along for your rides. waking up to us is supposed to be out on the 16th, right? chicago meet-up. i'd like to. take me on a rollercoaster, take me for an airplane ride, amy/rachel applejacks (home: dotsandloops(a)yahoo.com) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: wandering alone
by Claudia 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

Hello everyone, All this community idea is new to me... I was very eager to write...hope it works... My name is Claudia and I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil... I guess there's no need to say I love B&S... I went to their concert here (october 25) and it was magnificent.. I talked about it more than a million times and still can't believe how great it was... There are no words to describe that show...Anyway, if anyone would like to know about it, just ask... I'll do my best to be fair with it... I like other bands as well (Mojave 3, Hefner, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Ben Harper, Velvet Underground, Amphetameanies, Smiths, some brazilian music and so many other stuff) I'm 21 years old, law student (just for one more year)... I've read the messages posted and I confess I got a little envy (a good kind of envy... if that exists) because university life around the world is different from here... I don't live in dorms, I didn't have to move out of town, there isn't a student journal in my university (at least not a worthy one) and the musical scene here is pretty bad.. Anyway, people are great here, I have lovely friends... It's nice to see all those messages with all those young at hearts and stuff (ooops, sounded like tears for fears... sorry) I guess life is all about being in and out of love. Sometimes it may be disappointing and hurtful, but it still worth a try... (as many as needed..) Well, to finish my first post I have a doubt and maybe someone can help me: is Beans Chris? Why? Cause all the pics at BS home page in which Chris appears theres a legend written 'Beans'... I wonder why... Long enough for a first post...

Sinister: need a room? and other stuff
by elenita 99 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

Hello lovelies, I will start with obvious and abusive list abuse. If anyone is in need of a cheap room to rent in Greenwich, in two weeks time, with a package of furniture and lovely, lovely flatmates, please email me for more details. Sorry for taking your time, the rest won't be that abusive. The reason why my room is to rent is because I found a job. For nice car company, with a nice salary. The only problem is, it is in Paris you see. Hence I have to move out and go back to France. Thing that I am really not willing to do; reason why I have been grumpy since Friday when I should be drinking and celebrating the fact that in the crap economic situation some employer is actually willing to pay some serious money for me. Enough of this, I am going to cry. The Lucksmiths were brilliant a couple of weeks ago, supporting Hefner. Hefner were good too, they didn't play too many new songs and lots of old good ones. It was a great night. I am going to be 22 in 8 days, and because I am moving back I don't even have time for a proper birthday party. Plus I discovered a couple of white hair on my head last week. I am not sure I am willing to be 22 in these conditions. I have no choice I suppose. If you don't hear from me for a while, it might be because I will need to unsubscribe for a bit and I am already fed up with goodbyes before they even started. Anyway... I hate plane crashes, they always give me nightmares. They also make me think I am right to be scared of planes, but then I know in 2 months someone will tell me again "but planes are the safest!". Yeah, right.
