HaPpY NeW YeaR everyone!! Well brothers and sisters, life is cruel, innit? yet another new year... time flies whether you're having fun or not... I was supposed to be in London for New Year's but due to some unbeatable forces I had to stay here and spent hols at my parents' house... I've said that before, but have you noticed that the older you grow the more depressing it gets spending x-mas hols at your parents'? So, I stayed in the house for as long as holidays lasted, watching silly films with my sister, eating crisps and chocolates and all sorts of fattening stuff, smoking a lot and feeling so bored, except from the times when I was talking with our HoNeYBooBLeS on the phone, gossiping about boys and swooning over prada outfits!! at the end, I even suffered from insomnia cause of all this unbelievable boredom! and I had no internet access!! now, If you can imagine that!! I hate x-mas with 'the force of a thousand suns' like Brian (AKA hobnob) would say... I do!! And these xmas haven't changed the way I feel about them... Stephen-Carsmile-Lad mentioned the New Year's Eve Party at the TRoUseRs' ViLLa!! Starry and myself weren't there just in spirit but in voice too since we both called after midnight... I still feel dizzy after that! I talked I don't know with how many people, around 15 I guess!!Elena99 was accused afterwards of having stolen the phone and hiden behind an armchair! mmm that's why I talked with her longer than with anyone else... The atmosphere was gay and overflown with joy and alcohol and nice tunes that I could hear from the other end of my telephone wire and got me all green with jealousy!! everyone was going on the spree laughing and dancing around... News: Mr Popkins and Sezah were lying sick in their rooms, poor darlings whilst the heartless lot outside their bedrooms had the time of their lives... Le Pinefox played a solo session and we heard such great comments about that... we were also informed that PF headed to the land of lumberjacks!!! I'm really worried about his safety!! You never know where these slumberjacks- and not their timbers - can land!! watch out PF!! We want you back safe and sound! CaptainMarvo the Mighty got penguins and penguin accesoires for pressies and was all happy and cheerful! New York listees such as Sparkling Ree and Cyberglam Julie and Exotic-and-Citizen-of-the-World-now-Phil were there too! But I managed to talk only with Ree on the phone who was - as we were informed lately - the only sober person in the whole assembly!! Other news... we've been in the tweekitten site to discover that the ViSiToRs' CD titled "miss" has its rightful place in the Top 100 Sellers of 2000 and so does the Black Tambourine Complete Recordings CD which is by now out of stock!! Chrss L. 'the jam-tart' (= sweetheart in cockney, so that we'll avoid any misunderstandings) mentioned groupies... a little research on the subject gave us this URL which includes lots of spicy gossip and other stuff, also instructions of how to become an aknowledged groupie... Chrss try it: http://www.jsolar.com/groupies/groupies.html KenKenJugglingPrince and myself agreed that the coolest sinister picnic is yet to come... we think it's going to be in April in London... that's where I'm going to be at the time... If I survived scooter accidents till then... have you ever ride on a scooter with your earphones on? it's great... I can't ride without music... but you actually ride faster especially when you're listening to songs you really like... so this morning heading to work, I couldn't but sing out loud along to Moz's "YoU'Re The OnE FoR Me FaTtY" to the astonishment of passing by vehicle drivers... You should all support Chris Wu's( AKA: pooOOooo)Label called GiFteD ReCorDs which has just released item 001 a plit 7" Even As We Speak/In A Day in collaboration with our very own's Brian P. (AKA McMcMc) Sandcastle Records!! Buy it!! it's absolutely fab! we were also informed that the Gifted Records second release, item 002, will be a split 7" again of The Pines/Simpatico due Feb/March... Simpatico is an aussie band, the bloke from Sweet William... and they'll be covering a Black Tambourine (if I'm right) song where as The Pines will be covering a Sweet William song... for more information go to: http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~tbc/giftedRecords/index.html We also know that HoneyBoobles the little princess of the West has guests at the HoneyHouse... Her and Linda are visited by Ree, Carey, Marvo and Julie!! Have fun you!! You should all go to David's site www.belleandsebastian.freeserve.co.uk and do this survey thingy!! tis fun!! The pressies exchange thing went very well, thanks to JoanOfDark, greeks have bright ideas, mind you... To those to who I owe their pressies... sorry for the delay they're going to be there very soon... and they're going to be just great... To those who sent me my pressies, please do e-mail me cause I don't have your e-addies... talking about pressies and mail, two parcels were stolen from my mailbox whilst I was away for xmas hols... I don't know what they were and that makes it even more frustrating... I still can't believe it that someone stole my parcels on x-mas!! tis a disgrace!! And with that I'll leave you all for now... thanks for baring with me, those of you who did... take care, hugs VeL xxx ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
