Hi Sinisteriniinos, I wrote to the list aaaaages ago, then exams and the pressures of unemployment meant I haven't kept up[ with you for a while. But now I have this nifty wee temp job that not only attempts to quell the tide of nasty letters from the bank (who seem to have forgottent hat people who have recently graduated are about as broke as students, and there's no way I'll be paying off my overdraft overnoght) but also means I can surf about on the internet inbetween typing the odd letter. Mmmm, slacker lifestyles. And it's soo much cooler than the library, because I can make cups of tea and sit on my own desk rather than being watched by smelly old men reading the newspaper (apologies if you are an old man who reads the newspaper in the library, I will presume you are not hygenically challenged...) But I think the main reason why I haven't been participating much in Sinisterness is that my life hasn't been at all twee or indie lately. It's been the end of the year and finals,m which has meant giving up my job on the proviso that it means more time for work (hah!) but what it really mean was -gasp-no money whatsoevcer. No more trips to Smile or CD buying, not until I get my studenty debts sorted out anyhow. I could download music once I sort out access at home (oh, yeah, I don't have a CD burner...) but if home taping is killing musioc then downloading is probably bludgeoning it to death with a big stick. Naaah, I'll just isten to 6music over the web and save up my pennies for the Hot Hot Heat album. Anyhow, I managed to get my 2:1, don;'t know how but it happened. However, in the past few weeks I've been turned down by many companies, including telesales...being refused a telesales job must make me officially unemployabl;e. So now I can either prostitute myself to the temp agencies, become a 'charity mugger' or...live in a yurt maybe? Not sure yet. i did see Jeffrey Lewis recently so I'm tryingt o be al indie and twee, and I nearly wore a Hello Kitty top to work today so you can't banish me from the twee club just yet :-) See I long to be an indie princess liek Idleberry, but I listen to Radio 2 too much....in nobody's book is Wogan an indie icon* less rambling, -gillian ps-if Chris from York is reading..pop me an email! It's been ages.... *Jeremy vine though....playing 'Leave the Capiutol on daytime radio! Playing smiths songs that weren't even singles invbetween debating WMD! Yay!!
