Allow me to introduce myself...... Hi! My name is Rachel. I wish I could shake all thousands of hands right now. Actually, you all deserve big hugs! I've been on the list now for a little less than a year. It has grown into not only a love, but an unhealthy obsession. And dammit, I want to join to club too! Can I, mummy, can I? I thought I'd share a horrid story that earns me big hugs. This year, I brought Tigermilk to school for my friend to borrow. During English class when we were doing absolutely nothing as usual, I popped it in the cd player for her to hear (my teacher was a pretentious music obsessive, who played Bob Marley everyday to prove he was cool to the stoners). During Expectations, everyone laughed when Stuart/Struan hit the high notes!!!! Think of the irony of THAT song causing me to be laughed at....the story of my life. To this day, I am extremely fearful of sharing Belle and Seb with anyone, if they laugh, I want to cry. At he end of the year, me and my friend (same girl as before, I only have one) had to do a project on the seventies with album reviews in it. I wanted to do Nick Drake, but resisted sharing beautiful music with the world because I feared they would laugh. I ended up doing Fleetwood Mac instead.......sigh.......... I'm going to the second LA show and the first SF show....whoot whoot!!! I would apologize to the rest of the list who doesn't get to see them, but I'm too much of a selfish brat to honestly feel bad. It's my turn, and you'll get yours! I like exclamation marks!!!! Genuine content: In an America entertainment magazine, it reports: "Rather than cut explicit scenes to earn an R rating for Storytelling, Todd Solondz has reportedly covered up the sex with a big red block." Makes me feel all excited and dirty to see it. Ken Chu, will you be MINE? I have fantasies of this mild-mannered asian by day, DDR sexpot kung fu fighter by night. How close am I? I like Camera Obscura, they are lurvely. When you look it up at amazon.com, you also get a hardcore punk band from my hometown of San Diego as well. Doesn't Stockholm Syndrome by YLT also sound sort of B and S-y?? My 15 minutes of sheer terror are up. I'm going to go hide in a cave now. -rachel cornflake +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
