i just remembered why i'm on this list... it's because so many of those who dwell here are so damn lovely. i send one badly written, whiny post and i'm overwhelmed with messages of sympathy and empathy from all over the world. thanks everybody. i still haven't told my mum quite how bad my exam results were, but i'm feeling more positive about it. not on a lighter note, but on a similarly dismal one, i am currently suffering from a quite unpleasant skin complaint (you know you want to hear about this) that has made my face all dry and blotchy and itchy. the doctor won't help, so whilst wandering around harvey nicks* (dahling) yesterday with my mum, we stumbled across a stall in the cosmetics department with a fish tank and big signs telling us of how a physicist from NASA invented a magic face cream made from fish. intrigued i had a consultation with a scary posh woman who was wearing too much orange make-up (you should have seen the horror on her face when i told her i sometimes wash with soap) and my mum ended up spending over £150 on cosmetic products. i never envisioned myself as the sort of person who would use £75 moisturiser, at least not until i was rich and famous anyway, but apparently now i am. not sure why i just told you that, but it makes me feel glamorous, even though i don't look it just now. ~~content alert~~ are there any plans afoot to meet up before the gig in manchester? if there are someone email me, and if not i don't mind being in charge of generating some. so, assuming nothing is already happening you may send me ideas or expressions of interest for a manchester pre-gig meetup. i also have secret plans for afterwards which i may be persuaded to share if bribed handsomely. thanks again for being who you are, love and lollipops, fiona. *for the uninitiated (non uk) a really expensive department store ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ visit http://clubindigo.net +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
