HELLOOOO SINISTERINES!!! Some days are packed full of moments that seem like they are the crux of many things about to unfold. Today has been one of those days for me, filled with these dynamics... This day has been about two weeks long. There have been so many wonderful posts and I have been trying to get organized all day to post something of my own. So here I am, rock you like a hurricane! Just to give y'all a little fruitloop update, I have reconciled with my dancing partner from onstage at the 2nd L.A. B&S show, Dustin Smartly-Dressed, after he profusely apologized for inviting his ex-girlfriend to stay with him over my birthday weekend and then stood me up for a concert because he was "ill". It turns out that he really was ill, in addition to suffering from being an eighteen-year-old boy. I am glad to be his friend, because Dustin is very funny and smart and talented. We had a very nice evening Friday night. He's thinking about joining this list, too, so you'll find out how grate he is if he isn't too shy to post. Elise from Wisconsin is one of the most caring and kind hearted little cutie I've ever had the pleasure of having in my life, and I thank her so much for being so wonderful! This list made that connection possible, and also... the sweetie Ryan from this list met my family today including most of my siblings and my parents and my Aunt. It was slightly embarrassing, but mostly a lot of fun. Ryan said that my family is "colorful" and my family thinks Ryan is the nicest cutest boy I've ever brought around to meet them. It was fab! What a doll Ryan is! Welcome Andre Enrico Ciriaco Federico!! Andre wrote of a pretty in pink girl: "I know I should go up and say something, but- you know how there are some people that just melt you?" Yes... I do. I think that is why I accept apologies from silly eighteen-year-olds. And I wear a lot of pink, PAL, and I wear it well! ;) I think you definitely should talk to this girl!!! It sounds like she's noticed you, too! Besides, life's too short! Danny Farrell wrote: "I almost hugged a lamp post last night,i think i would have if id had more to drink but as it was i just settled for a few head-pats from my tall friend and the pearls of wisdom "It really can only get better" or something similar to that anyway." Yep. It can only get better. Then it might get a little worse again, but then one day it will get a lot better and it will seem like you're infused with the strength to not care too much about the lonliness anymore, and that's when you will meet someone grate! Chris Pez wrote: "contrary to popular belief the chrises mix tape challenge team still exists. it now consists of Chris Pez (me) and Cay Cola-Cubes [we're named after sweeties, see?" well, you two may be sweet, but you're just empty carbohydrayes. We Rachels are the most IMPORTANT meal of the day, and therefore will have the stamina to make the best mix tape ever!! Caleb Ben wrote: "well i hope nobody gets mad at me, but i've nominated myself an honorary rachel. and henceforth, i shall be known called Rachel As Well. initials R.A.W. thats right." Okay, R.A.W (that's very close to my initials, R.E.W.!) Welcome to team Rachels! I shall be mailing all of the Rachels and Honorary Rachels to go over our plan for the mixtape!!! yay! I'm so excited! An Monchichi (hee) wrote of Caleb Ben's (A.K.A.R.A.W.) idea for a "telephone" game using song lyrics translated from language to language: "If everyone follows the rules (what rules?) I reckon it could turn out quite hilarious in the end. I assume you're not allowed to use the actual lyrics as help?" Yeah, that sounds like a hoot!! How do we start this one? Miss Cay wrote:"Me and Hatchback were at the Betsy Trotwood on Friday with the rest of the Sinister "massive" and *wowsers* it was so good! Ben Apps-you are such a little groover and shaker!" So... Ben Apps is a groover and shaker? Like a superfly disco dancin' John Travolta sort of groover and shaker!?! Oooh, tell me more! I liked Cay's story about Danson-Hatchback moving in! Amy from Melbourne wrote:"hands up who wants 'my so-called life' back in their lives?" I do!!!! That show ROCKED my world. Claire Danes' haircolor in it alone was enough to snare me in! But It was just such an engaging show in general. I think it was the first of its kind, before the Dawson's Creek lot! Asm wrote: "I was on the bus today and there was a girl who looked just like Katie Holmes, holding hands with a boy who looked just like Jarvis Cocker, and I marvelled at the perfection of this couple." Awww, that's so cute!!! It's grate when you can take notice of cute couples and appreciate how wonderful it all seems. Most times how it seems is even better than how it really is, at least for me. I try not to get carried away with the dreamy fantasy part of a relationship because then the whole thing takes on a life of its own and is based on nothing, and when the infatuation fades, what are you left with? nothing. Sometimes simple realism can be your best friend! But I like to look at cute couples and dream about how lovely it all can be! CarsmileSteve wrote: "You know it's at this time of year that i like to go back and read the rules of the list, just in case i've missed anything." Which section of the list rules do you suppose would make the most interesting reading for the majority of us, then? Joe "Rachel Pancake" Vester wrote: "Can someone tell me what 'vintage' clothing is?" It's the term that thrift stores use to justify charging $20 for a blouse that you ordinarily could buy at a secondhand store for $2. Archel Toast wrote: "i think we should have a sinister picnic in a library." That's a fancy idea!!! But wouldn't you get kicked out for being too loud and for drinking alcohol in a library?! So, HOW WAS THE DUNDEE PICNIC?! Kate Keenan wrote: "What am I, scotch mist?" I am going to add this phrase to my vernacular straight away! Calumn wrote: "Loads and loads of people came to visit me in GLASGOW (they may not have arrived for me *exclusively*, except for Ken, who was looking to pick up a couple of tips for pulling the ladies. And Lady wasps, apparently!)" So what are some of the ladykiller tips that Ken might have picked up from you whilst in Glasgow? Slip some vodka in her red bull when she isn't looking? Miss B. "Sweet Adeline" posted a grate story about a man dressed as Jesus, complete with cross, going into Walgreens to buy snack cakes. I gotta say that I wish I had witnessed that scene! THAT's what I call divine comedy! Stout Robin wrote about the longevity of historic writings:"someone the philosopher knew had kept a diary, and in this diary were all sorts of things about the philosopher and all of his ideas, along with shopping lists and moans about his wife. But the reason archaeologists had found this diary at all, with all its fascinating stories, was because the man had CHISELLED IT INTO HIS BEDROOM WALL, and the archaeologists had found the wall." I wonder if our binary banter just disappears into thin air or if there will be historic records from e-mails in the future... Lisa from Texas wrote of her friends' wedding: "The strains of "Johnathan David" begin ...and the wedding couple and aforesaid Seattle pal all join me (no coercing! I feel so blessed!) to do the various kinds of Charlie Brown kids' dances." Whoah! That's so cool! I wish I had been there to do a little Charlie Brown dancing! The whole wedding sounds like it would have been an experience not to be missed! Peter Miller wrote of the new B&S cover for "I'm Waking Up To Us": "I think it's gorgeous, to be honest. I think it's the best B&S sleeve of the lot." Wow, I really love this cover artwork, too! The girl and the dog are ultra cute... I think it could be my favorite as well! Ruvi wrote: "people are silly and sad the world over." Yes, some areas moreso than others, but it's a relief to know that there are other people just as silly/sad (I like to interchange these) as I am. welcome back from China, Ruvi! Vu in Minneapolis/St. Paul looks pretty cute. I want to know how one goes about getting an e-mail address from dork.com cos I think I really need one! The ill boy PeetSketchSteve wrote: "Tim, Nic McCabe would be in my top 10 too. A genius with six strings." I also agree with you and Tim about Nick McCabe. Seeing the Verve live was like a religious experience for me because of his guitar playing. Can anybody tell me what Nick McCabe is doing these days? I hope you are feeling better, Steve! So, I haven't really heard much from you Southern California/L.A. area Sinisterines, what am I, Scotch mist?... drop me an e-mail if you're interested in picnicing. I had suggested Saturday November 10th, but we can discuss it further! Ernie, you are next on my list to write back to! I have no ill "Will" towards your team! (but the Rachels are gonna kick your butt! ;) And Katie Cheeriodle, I also apologize for taking a while to write back. I'm off like a prom dress! love, Rachel fruitloop __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo!
