Tiki(guitar/vocals) (Salmonella Dub)not very indie, but an ace player Prizes for those that _have_ heard of these people. ;-} You are obviously true indie legends, just like my main man Kirsten. ;-} On to other news....well, I am no longer an Official Book Burglar Catcher at the library. ;-/ Our job officially ended two weeks ago-but on the upside, we get a nice new Book Returns Room with a huuuuuuuuggggeeee window looking out onto ground level Albert Street-so I get people perving at me all hours of the day and night. Just like working in a cafe, really. The Sinister Pcnic in a Library thing sounds like just my cup of Earl Grey. How many Sinisterenes are there in Auckland? I could smuggle us all in here on a Saturday afternoon, then we could wander down to Pizza Pizza and get really sloshed....oh, wait a minute, I do that on my own, anyways....;-} Ummm. I wish my name was Will. All the Andre's on the list, rise up with me now! They can take our dignity with stupid girly-sounding names, but they can never take our FREEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM......... I saw this girl yesterday, and...wow. I've seen her 'round before, like when I worked as an Official Book Burglar Catcher on the front desk, and every time she's caught my eye. Wears lots of pink, which I something I'd usually avoid, but she has dark hair and dark eyes, so it works. Plus, every time I see her, we just seem to stare at each other until something else distracts us, then the moment is well and truely gone. I know I should go up and say something, but- you know how there are some people that just melt you? She's like that for me. <sigh> Yesterday, she was standing next to the Short Loans counter when I went up to drop a book in from the BR room and, I had to walk right towards her to return the book. We just sort of stared at each other as I walked towards her, then I (being an irredemable idiot) paniced and looked down. I placed the book on the counter, muttered something to the counterperson, then turned and...well, not quite _ran_ away, but close. And yesterday was the last day of lectures, so I may get a chance like that again. <slaps forehead> Stupid, stupid Cunning Andre. <sigh> On that note, I'm off to do more nothing. Right-o, that's me, Cunning Andre +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
