firstly, let me announce that i am wearing a brand spanking new pair of shoes that look exactly like the ones prada is showing this season, the only difference being that i paid muchmuch less for my shoes. they're mary janes, they're leather, they're quite geeky really and they look smashing with my knee length skirts and requisite cardigans. with biscuits in hand, of course, and penguin paperback tucked into my pocket. but am i allowed to nibble on my glico pocky milk super snacks? ah yes, they can be eaten in conjunction with biscuits. one glico pocky snack, one biscuit. and then some lemonade. wizzcake wrote:

jessicaxo i have the biggest crush on you...i hope you and ahren reproduce.

now, i couldn't let this roll by without some sort of comment. first, eeeeek! okay, now i can say that there will be no reproducing between me and ahren any time soon (or me and anyone for that matter, but you really don't need to hear about that), we're just good friends and our relationship is totally platonic. but i still touch him a lot. that can't be helped. wizzcake, we will miss your urine scented cakes as they stick to the list like wet tissue. in a good way, of course. then peej wrote:

What's the appeal of Boston?<<

...

And while we're on the subject, don't despair if you fail miserably to get a Christmas snog, New Year's Eve is just around

boston? please, other than being old guys sporting the ever-fashionable mullet hairstyle and singing about old trains and ladies, it's also a great city with some of the best chai tea around, a lovely discount bookstore, and filene's basement which gets hit so hard every time i visit. did i mention that glenn jones, of the ultra-talented cul de sac, lives there? yessir, and he took me to dinner at a nice thai restaurant, and we discussed music, and i discovered that he likes belle and sebastian! he also remembers seeing jimi hendrix in concert, which eliminates him as a real world crush, sadly enough, but i did go away grinning from the ride in his volvo and our little discussion of belle and sebastian, and the fact that he paid for dinner, which always thrills me (i'm simple, i know). and peej wrote some more: the corner, and everyone gets a snog then, regardless of physical repulsiveness.<< oh, poo, i now feel even more left out that i have no plans for new years. i had tentative plans last year, and then i got tonsillitis and was forced to stay at home and feel sorry for myself drinking neo citran and watching 'muriel's wedding'. anyone volunteer to show up at my house, take me out for new years and kiss me? perhaps that sounds a little too desperate, let me try again...anyone care for a lovely new years outing, rewarded definitely by a hug and some cookies and a feel of my new blue furry jacket (not a grope, mind you, just a feel. there is a difference, pervyheads). well, being at home won't be so bad, i'll get another chance to listen to my whole belle and sebastian library from start to finish in chronological order as the new year comes in and the old year passes, and paint my nails pink and phone old friends and leave pathetic messages on their machines saying "happy new year, hope your karma gets you this time" and laughing from having too much lemonade and having them call me back the next day saying "what were you on, jessica, and what's this about karma?" and i'll pretend that it must have been another jessica and quickly change the subject. oh yes, here comes 1999, inevitably ushered in by prince (party like it's 1999) and ended with pulp (disco 2000). how appropriate, somehow. i think my work in retail is making me cynical. oooh, i almost forgot about christmas cheer! hannukah is over, yes? hope the festivities haven't left you too groggy, and that you all got a gift as marvellous as my electric toothbrush. wow, it spins and makes my whole head vibrate, and then i end up with clean teeth. amazing stuff, this technology. love and rockets (oooh, cliche), jessicaxo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
