Dear Lovely Listees, Um...I don't really post the list much, because I'm afraid of the evaluation other sinisiteries will give my letters..."did she use enough indie references? do you think she wears cardigans? I wonder what type of cheese is her favorite? Oh, swiss? How passe.... I know why she didn't get any list crush votes..." etc. Anyway, I wrote a sonnet of sorts for my English class on Belle And sebastian, and for some strange reason I thought perhaps some of you would be interested in reading it...remember, I'm only a freshman in high school, and I've never written a sonnet before, which explains why it's so awful...but the subject matter is appropriate for this list, I suppose. My list crush, the lovely Iain Hamilton, was kind enough to lie to me and tell me it was nice. Critiquing and nasty insults about it are welcome, please! I won't reveal what grade I got on it until after you all are horribly disappointed with it. Susannah, the not-as-funny-and-charming-as-the-other-Susannah Susannah Grossman Period 3 11/23/98 Mrs. Napor Belle And Sebastian Magical music, always ironic Twisting down pastel corridors, kind, meek Savage, arch, cynical, wry, sardonic Giddy pop escapes boredom from the week. Fragile girls with buck teeth and stringy hair Buses, cardigans, wasting lives away Boys confused, awkwardly learning they care Ice cream compositions to make hearts sway. Musing soberly, unemployed, tired, poor Joyful days of squandering time Sweetly romantic, a quirky troubadour Clever horns, guitars using pantomime. Gentle melody, lovely harmony Prettiest songs in all of Brittany. P.S. I know Belle and sebastian aren't from France, but I couldn't think of another rhyme. okay, sorry for this long and boring post, I'll never do it again, I swear. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
