Boston, October 1999. While walking through the Italian section of the city with my friend Lizzyborden, a man rushes up to Lizzy thrusts a dollar into her hand while whispering,"Just buy it." For two seconds we're a bit dazed, until we see the curly black haired girl toddling behind him asking if we would like to buy a paper hat. Lizzy gives her the dollar, takes the hat, and kind of dances around as the girl beams happily while clapping. It was probably the most adorable thing I've ever witnessed. Ok, so was that sappy enough for you sentimental sinister suckahs? I'm just trying to motivate, inspire, and remind you about the Sinister Christmas Exchange. Miss Maddie Minx Elfkin and I have decided that the deadline to give us your information will be this coming up Monday November 25th (though we would naturally like it in as soon as you can get it to us). Then, hopefully, we shall have e-mailed everyone their exchange partners by Thursdayish. If you're clueless to what I'm referring to, you can review the original posts at: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/latest/msg00036.html and http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/latest/msg00048.html The main gist is that if you want to participate in the sinister christmas exchange please e-mail me at Lleweth@hotmail.com your: * Name * Full Address * The number of presents you would like to send out (since it will correspond with the presents you will receive) and * Whether you have a preference of sending to someone inside your country or not as foreign mailing can get right pricey and I have great respect for you cheap bastards out there. If geography makes no difference, then there's no need to mention anything. Also, please don't hesitate to e-mail me if you have any questions, concerns, or chocolate covered boys you want to get off your hands. yours, Laura PS - I've decided that if I ever go to a sinister event that I want to be sexuality cups present. See: http://www.joannou.net/petullant/sexualitycupsfull.jpg PPS - Two sinisterines took me up on my offer to come visit me while I had the looming farm house to myself during the autumn and it was *fantastic* Thus, I'm sending much love out to them - especially to Jay EckArd who is the other native NC-er on the list even if he lives five hours from me. *sniff* PPPS - The whole reason I wrote this post was to say that the DEADLINE FOR THE CHRISTMAS EXCHANGE IS THIS COMING UP MONDAY. There. Point made. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
