Hey ho sinister So my friends have left for uni and Im stuck at K.G.S for another year. A year without the people who share my crappy sense of humour, and childish sarcasm, a year sharing a common room with stinky boy racers and self obsessed girls, who seem to be constantly straightening their hair. It didnt look so bad when Jenna was still at school, my best friend for goodness knows how long, who took about as much shit from the others in my year as I do. Fair enough, I chose to have friends in the year above me, and pretty much distanced myself from the people of my year completely forgetting that they would, inevitably, have to leave for uni at some point. I always assumed, however, that Jenna would be there till the end so you can imagine my dismay when she announced, somewhat out of the blue, that she was going off to study at uni in Aberdeen, thus leaving me with my, you-wont-get-into-uni-with-those, grades from last year. So there we have it, having isolated myself from my year group entirely, I had gone from having the best friends into the world, to having little, or no friends at all. This has meant a lot more use of my minidisc player, and hence, and increase in battery usage (note to self: buy rechargeable batteries). Because I used to use Jennas cable for recording my minidiscs, I now have no means of recording new ones until I can be bothered to get a myself cable, although I cleverly used my last few days with the use of her cable to make some compilations, which should keep me going for a wee while ;) Having no friends to talk to also means I have had more time to read, although this is something we are not allowed to do in the common room, as the common room is used to listen to dance music and talk about cars (sigh) and the library wont let me listen to my minidisc player...whats a boy to do? I have started trumpet lessons, and have had four so far, I have mastered the funeral march (always useful), and can do the trumpet part from the Wrong Girl quite well one day Ill be as good as Mick.... they refused to give me lessons at school, so I had to bribe someone to teach me in their free time and it worked. Hmm, so tomorrow is the start of a new school week Mondays minidiscs shall be the Ramones Pleasant Dreams -Belle and Sebastian Tigermilk -the Smiths Meat is Murder and a Hoagy Carmichael compilation (great) cheerio Patrick x _________________________________________________________________ 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.
