It's interesting not being smitten with anyone. I may have to try this for a while. isn't it just, my new weeks resolution a while ago was to remain resolutely single until i found someone fabulous enough to merit the honour of going out with me, but the novelty is starting to wear off, and i'm contemplating going back to being a filthy slapper again.
can't remember if i've used that subject line before, but i know you'll forgive me. today i have read a big pile of posts and am prepared to comment, although don't expect me to remember who any of them were written by, so i'm apologising in advance for the lack of acknowledgments. oooh! the violent femmes! yum! i have yet to meet anyone in britain who will confess to liking them. the very mention takes me back to a school exchange to a small town in virginia, where blister in the sun blasted from the car stereo, parked on a high school sports field, as we got drunk on nasty american beer and threw the empty cans at the wall. oooh, how dangerous we were!! and add it up is fantastic in a filthy sort of way (one of the best ways to be fantastic i always think) what else, oh yes, my childhood computer reminiscences are of an old bbc b computer which my parents bought when i was about three, thinking that it would help me get ahead in my schooling. and indeed it seemed that the only games it was possible to buy for said machine were 'educational' although still rather addictive. however, i still never learnt my times tables after all its best efforts, and look at me now - a maths student!!! (well half of one anyway) brandt (look i remembered) said this feels like a good time to remind you all to cast your list crush votes in this direction mbbx9ff2@mail1.mcc.ac.uk that address again mbbx9ff2@mail1.mcc.ac.uk gratuitous i know, but who ever said there was anything wrong with shameless self promotion? now if i don't have any messages from miss crush in my inbox next time i look there are going to be some sinistereenies with very sore bottoms. threat or promise? - you decide. all the talk of kate rusby made me think of my younger days when my parents used to drag me and my brother to folk festivals and we would eat tea and cake at mrs rusby's kitchen, the makeshift cafe run by kate's mum and dad for the duration of i think it was sidmouth festival. that sort of thing seems to make you immune to the music, i think i still suffer from the teenage aversion to parental approval. and also my mum, when she was in her youth, went out with martin carthy (dad of eliza) and so somehow i can't listen to any of that family's tunes either. and finally, whoever complimented me on my spelling, you can't understand how grate that was to read, spelling (and i'm being serious now) has always been something i take pride in. i know some people can't help being unable to spell, but it's sooooo infuriating when you see people, particularly in positions of power making glaring mistakes. yes i was just as sad in primary school as i am know, i learnt all my spelling roolz. an altogether better post than my offerings of late, dontcha think, love and chocolate covered snacks, fiona - smiling, beguiling +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@missprint.org".
