There is someone at my school called JD. This stands for Jonathan Dean, though and he is a complete and utter not very nice person. Dunoon sounds happy. Jonathan David sounds sad. As a person who has just realised that the girl I like doesn't hate me but doesn't exactly like me either and that one of my friends also likes her and she likes him I feel great empathy with the song. Nobody will tell me if they are going out together as when I first realised that she didn't like me I went into decline. I'm certain that they are going out. Maybe that's my paranoia but I'm just sure they are. She's called Jo (like me) and she's wonderful...(gaze dreamily into distance). I made a Belle and Sebastian convert. I was walking along with a friend and he has a little portable radio which he uses to listen to the cricket. The cricket wasn't on and we felt like listening to something so we listened to Radio 1 with me crouching down in a rather uncomfortable way due to me being much taller than him.. There was a dance/trance track which he loved on and I walked along with one headphone in my ear, slagging it off and all trance music with it. I said that I couldn't stand it and gave him back his headphone and a minute later he said that there was an amazing song on so I groaned and took a listen only to find that it was Jonathan David. He said it was really good and I started singing along to the bits I knew, embarassing him a lot. All the same, I feel proud of myself for showing him the wonder of B&S. What does "Yer Maw?" mean? It is on the little questionaire thing in the new Mogwai album and I reckoned it was scots so I thought "Sinister!". A girl I know ignored me in the street on Friday. I was really hurt. She is called Anastasia (It's not as bad as it sounds, she's half Russian, her surname occupies 2 lines on her passport and is completely unpronouncable it's like Chzeschovnyknaopovlaskovinidostlavsky) and she seemed to like me. But she doesn't. I don't even know why not. People have stopped telling me stuff. People think that the fact that they all had or went to parties on the weekend and no-one invited me will make me feel inadequate. It does but even more so that they won't tell me. I have a friend who doesn't get invited either so I just hang around with him a lot. He gets told about what they did and he tells me which is nice of him. I am beginning to hate everyone I know. Yours, with love for sinister as it never hurts me, Joe PS I'm sorry for the self-pitying qualities of this e-mail. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
