{prepare for yet another faceless name} why hello there kiddos, this is my first post...i dont know why i didnt post earlier..probably my boring nature, intense procrastination, and lack of interesting things to say (that could also be argued at the end of this post im sure) but here i am posting....info about me useful and useless: i am mark, i live in new jersey, go to school in maryland, am a complete insomniac, i spend too many hours in #sinister....that is all. as proof of my maddening sleep deprivation i submit exhibets a and b a: it is currently 4:37 am.....b:this post in general. today was quite a great day. i saw the magnetic fields tonight for free..well almost..see..i bought tickets to see them in washington (baby) dc, but i found out about the show here after i put them on a friends credit card...so i thought i was out 30 bucks since i couldnt very well call out of work twice..i was going to sell them to julie..but my friend called ticketmaster and said his little brother stole his credit card and ordered the tix..they let him cancel, but they kept the service charge (fucking nine bucks damnit) oh well...so i drove out to swarthmore pa to see them...and i got in for free...and had my fill of free beer and pizza (i wasnt DRIVING per se, so much as sitting in a rolling car) and the magnetic fields were absolutely amazing...eek..my new goal in life is to stand still and have stephen merrit sing to me...forever...stuart m. would probably be quite more enjoyable...but im not still dripping with his energy and power...oh yeah...and we got very lost going home..and ended up in a very bad neighborhood...we had almost no gas...we ended up calling the police on a cell phone and getting directions...funny in hindsight i guess. * mark prepares to tell his gym class horror stories * 1. the freshman gym class had gathered in the center of the basketball court to pick teams for its three week tournament. an obese young man sat in the back hoping to be ignored, yet realizing that the time would come when he would have to be recognized. as fat as he was, he was still a head taller than most of his classmates and therefore assumed that he would be picked in perhaps the second third of his classmates. the boy watched in horror as, one by one, all of the other kids were picked by the two popular captains. all the girls were picked. the slow kid was pickes. the boy with one leg was picked (im not kidding at all). finally when there was no one else to pick, the bulbous boy (ok, we know its me..im just being an ass) began walking towards the team with the misfortume of having last pick...when suddenly he heard the brash captain inquire, much to his (my) utter embarrasment, "WHOS ABSENT?".....ughhhh!!! 2. in 3rd grade my gym teacher was yelling at me cause i couldnt do a single pull-up..and i told him to "shut the fuck up".....(indeed i am not twee one bit) but you know what is very twee...the never ending story (here is where you the listee...if you are still reading..think of a witty comment about this being the never ending post) i mean...its about a boy named bastian who, wearing a lovely sweater, hides away from a bunch of bullies and reads a book about a boy and his horse..all the while learning the importance of dreams...where the greatest wisdom resides in the swamp of sadness. * MARK DEALS WITH TOPICS * ART i was in a literature class that had this discussion for three weeks straight...it cant ever be resolved....ever..but hey i guess it is kinda fun to argue. SOMEONES COMMENT THAT THE SINISTER OF DAYS GONE BYE WAS SUPPERIOR well you see...everything i go near turns to crap..so..i think its my fault...even if i didnt post...my evil energy was creeping about...there was also a comment about there not being any controversy..hows this: who thinks that all people should be refered to as abortions....example (me talking to muh uncle) uncle: so your cousin just started 2nd grade me: oh yeah? uncle: yeah the little abortions doing just great!!!!! or this: i think that the beatles and the stones should fork over the best rock band titles that they have been awarded by every critic in this solar system and lay them down humbly at the alter of the zombies... maybe those will get people in a huff...but i beleive both just the same ISOBEL'S BUM lets never ever stop talking about it...looks just fine to me. STUPID SHIT IVE HEARD girl in cafeteria: "oh shit..this pizza is so hot...and my nailpolish is flamable!!!" man in video store: "these arent due till the 9th...what is today" (this was on the 4th of july as a parade was rolling bye and fireworks were going off well you people (though i bet very few are even reading this) have had more than your fill of me..now you know that you hate my posts..and this prolly fulfills me forever...and if you are really angry at me for posting...blame laura llew...she made me do it (in my most childish accusotory tone)....anyway love ya all, * mark * ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@missprint.org".
