Hello all, I was in such suspense about graduating to a fully-fledged Sinister member, having been reading all your lovely posts for ever so long now. However the day that I had been anticipating for so long turned out to be rather an anticlimax when I realised that I had in fact received an email several days ago saying that I had graduated. How I missed it I have no idea. But yay! I have my voice. I feel like Ariel in The Little Mermaid when she is able to speak again. Well, I suppose I'd better get the awkward introduction bit out of the way - here's where you scroll down the page in an uncaring fashion, secure in the knowledge that you all already know each other and I am merely a lonely newcomer! Hi, I'm Jo. I am 19 years of age and was born in the fair month of January. I currently reside in Preston (north-west England) because it is the holidays. Soon I will return to sunny (aha ha ha) Sheffield to begin my second year studying history and philosophy at university. So, that's me. I apologise for the unoriginality of my introduction, there have to be people like me or the witty and interesting people just wouldn't get on in life. If anyone lives near either of those places and would like to take me under their wing I would be very grateful if they would email me, bereft as I am of Belle and Sebastian loving friends. Well that's all I have to say. I realise I may have slightly bent a Sinister rule already by not mentioning Belle and Sebastian so much in this email, but if I smile sweetly at Mummy I hope I will be forgiven. I was just so excited to have a voice! love Jo xxx ~if i cannot change the will of heaven i will release hell~ _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
