Hi Sinister, I know I was supposed to have leave but I haven't dared yet and what the fuck: i want to be here. Anyways, I got to meet Sarah and Stevie last night, because they were in Stockholm doing promotion! AH! it was so great and they were so sweet. And it was really nice, because except for some, er, tears afterwards (it wasn't breaking down and screaming oh my god over and over again, it was more like "ah, that was so nice, ah it was too nice, oh no, i'm starting to cry, how awkward!". Not with them, of course. They didn't see that. They had gone back into their hotel by then. But I was thrilled. And I even took a photo with Stevie. I did that last time I met them too but that photo was not that good. But he promised me to put on his best boyband smile, when I told him my plan of taking a photo and saying "This is the last Backstreet Boys-esque thing I'm asking of you", and I handed over a letter which they promised everyone would see. AH! Dearest B&S, I love you so much. Other stuff that's happened that's great: DAMIEN RICE IS COMING TO SWEDEN; THERE IS NO AGE LIMIT AND I'VE GOT TICKETS! HURRAH! Damien Rice is so damn lovely. I am really, really excited. Last week I got a lovely letter from Anders, and fear not my friend, I wrote the answer the very same night, but there are no stamps at home and I always forget to buy. So sorry Anders. The letter will be a-coming soon. Conversation: Me: I dropped out of Sinister, sort of, with a dramatic post and all, but people e-mailed me nice things and now I want to stay on... Stevie: Well it's ALWAYS nice to be wanted, so, I'd say, Stay on! Me: Well, yes, and people might be impressed with the fact that I met you guys too. Stevie: Well in that case Astrid, I'd prepare for disappointment. Me: Oh stop it. It was all very nice, however, and afterwards me and Amanda celebrated by sharing a chocolate croissant and the nearest 7-Eleven. Life is great people, when a chocolate croissant at a 7-eleven is nice. it was a bit humiliating though, because I walked off with the wrong change, and it was a long line and the rude guy who worked there was like "HELLO?! HELLO! YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG CHANGE!" and I had to get my wallet out of my bag again, search for the right money, and then try and change it. Oh. It might sound very innocent, but if there's one thing I hate it's those kind of things. I have to go to my Business Economics class now, and for the first time in the whole term, I'm not really up to it. probably because I didn't do the homework. AH yes. Must be that. So, I'm back. Sorry. love Astrid x ______________________________________________________________ For up-to-the-minute music news, reviews and specials visit http://www.nme.com Get free e-mail (anyname@nme.com) now at http://www.nmemail.com The sender of this e-mail is NOT an employee or associate of NME, nme.com or any other IPC magazine. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
