HELLOOOOOOO SINISTER!!! I've been savin' ALL my love for you, writing this post over the last few days. I just want to update you quickly, about my birthday this past weekend. I went to the movies with my friend on Friday night and saw Zoolander, which I thought was a hysterical movie. On Saturday night I went to a club in Hollywood called Bang and, eek! I went all by myself. On Sunday, I got presents and then I went to see Ivy play--by myself again. But you know what? I was fine, and I had fun, and I could do it again. The sucky thing (besides the vacuum cleaner I got as a gift!) is that the *boyfriend-smartly-dressed* NEVER EVEN CALLED, or even e-mailed. And like Elise mentioned, the boy was apparently throwing up all day on Sunday... Amends will have to be made, but somehow I find myself not caring at all right now. Do you know how AWESOME the other Rachels on the list are?!? I just heard from Rachels Grape-nut, Sunny Side Up, and Cornflake and they are such intelligent and sweet girls. So is miss Archel Toast. If you have a chance for some one-on-one, you may want to experience the magic that IS the Sinister !VIVA RACHELS! movement! Anyone can join! *sniff* you girls make me proud to be a Rachel!

I'm up for it. How about a pub quiz or something like the Krypton Factor?
Sure, the pub quiz sounds grate, but what's the Krypton Factor? Maybe we could just have a cross stitching competition!! If we all lived near each other we could double up and have a square dancing competition... but that wouldn't really work, would it?! What would Ken Chu do?

Allegedly living according to your heart rather than your head makes you weak and she believes that everyone should just hide all their feelings,i can't understand that at all.>> I have the same problem, Danny, as you all know from reading the feelings right off my sleeve and onto this list. I find it therapuetic to express the way I feel. If you can express your feelings in words then you are lucky, at least, I feel lucky. A lot of people don't even know how to think about how they feel in terms of actual words. I think it threatens people, because they are afraid you might expect the same forthcoming expression and some people are just incapbable of expressing their feelings freely. Just take care of yourself in doing so, and you'll find that you have a real gift. I'd also like to say of the comments made to the list by Pauline about not sharing our sad feelings on the list because it doesn't make you lot like us more... well I believe VERY strongly in karmic law, so although you my dear Pauline are caught up in the high times of your whirlwind romance, wait and see who has a deaf ear when you're feeling the pang of yang to your yin. I do agree with Elise on that one.

But instead I'll just write to you lot! Welcome back Hannah! Ken Chu wrote: <<I took revenge tho at the lucky bar stewards who saw the gig, cos, the downstairs of Rock City there is the "Classic rock" room, I went in there, and asked the DJ to play Bon Jovi living on a prayer, and then legged it back upstairs. HA HA HA HA Revenge is sweet.>> I'm sorry about you missing Terrorvision! But not as sorry as the bar stewards must have been! That's just another story to add to my list of why I adore you so, Ken! Even if you don't sound like Mojo Jojo! David from Australia wrote: <<Some considerable mention was made on Mandee�s show about Halloween. Unfortunately, we don�t really have Halloween here, being the third world and all.>> Uh, YAH!!!! (said in the most obnoxious valley girl voice!) Any country that doesn't make a big deal out of Hallowwen is by no means a "modern" society! Halloween here in Los Angeles is INSANE! So much fun.. so much, in fact, that I have decorated my kitchen in a Halloween theme year-round, based around Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Just keepin the magic alive, folks! And David, you're so clever with your "Absinth makes the heart grow fonder" and your stories of Halloween and what you would do if you woke up to geese in your backyard... *sigh* I feel a crush coming on! And the fair William Dell Wisner gave me the skinny on Belle & Sebastian performing "Billie Jean" at the 2nd San Francisco show. He said "Oh, yes - partway through the song Isobel sauntered out onstage wearing fake pregnancy padding under her dress." WHAT!? How could I NOT have been at this show! This is exactly the kind of over-the-top dorky humor that I live for, especially when it's *delivered* ha! by my favorite band!!!! I am fortune's fool!!! The ol' Asm wrote about Belfast Bob: <<I've come to the conclusion that he is therefore God, for the following reason: if he never had a birthday, he was never born; therefore he has always existed, and so he must be God. Oh yeah, and he has long hair too. Maybe he does have a birthday, but he's just being mysterious, trying to fit in the with the classic B&S mould, before they sold out to the Man, man.>> I have thought that Belfast Bob was god ever since I beheld his glory at the B&S show I attended... I swear he had the halo and everything! What a sweet looking cherub! Do you think that adding such a rock star to the B&S lineup was just part of the requirement of this "sell out" mentioned above?! Lyns wrote of LLPJ: <<This image has made me giggle every time I hear monica queen hitting the higher notes, thinking about that green sequinned dress and probably some american tan tights to boot.>> I sort of had the same vision the first time I heard LLPJ, and I'm American, so that's to be expected, but I had no idea you had people like *this* over there!! Eeek! Run! And Kate, you had better watch out that you don't have any more mishaps carving out wood, or you're gonna have a knuckle sandwich for lunch!! I worry about you hurting yourself!!!!! You Chicago picnic crowd should consider changing the weekend of your picnic, maybe... because a little bird told me that Colin will be off in a monkey suit in another state that weekend, and although I'm sure he'll have a cooler full of booze, it won't be at your picnic! I'd hate to see you all deprived of the presence of the Colin Boy... But then, Elise wants to bring Sean from the east side and can only do so on Saturday, so... I guess it's a trade off. If Sean has a fake ID or a booze fairy, maybe he can be the understudy to Colin... but I don't think anyone can take Colin's place, really... so you'll all just have to bring a picture of him to the picnic site. Hello to Sean and Colin! And as you know, this fruitloop over here in Cali will be there in spirit! Elise rocks my world. This girl has it all: Beauty, compassion, good taste, intelligence. that must be why Sean likes her! I think their *sinister* romance is so cute!!! There is a new Sinisterine in the nursery named Ryan, and he is super keen, so I'd like to give a shout out to him! Hi Ryan! I'd also like to say to Kirsten K. that you are truly brilliant and to Mandee that I'd love to chat with you again soon if you've got the time! Also, hello to the lovely miss Astrid! I have made a mix tape for myself of "agonizing over unrequited love" songs and it is really making me feel amazingly better lately. I recommend it to any of you experiencing a similar frustrating romance (or lack thereof!) What songs would you put on your mix? Will Salt is so alluring these days, isn't he?! Can I have a margarita to go with that? Lots of love to you all, Rachel Fruitloop __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? NEW from Yahoo!
