Dear List, You know...I`m actually gonna talk music... I decided to buy this Godspeed You Black Emperor..and well,thankyou Sinister for making me a hit with the HMV boys, geez,they went nuts,anyways..I was shocked to find out they`re from Montreal! Interesting..I feel..proud, really I do.I was playing them late at night and it was an experiene, I mean, they`re no Dubmatique,but still. Oh,a weird thing: My teacher grabbed the headphones from me,and he likes them too. Alright,I`m going to talk about a festival that hasnt nothing to do with Bowlie,so 99 percent of you won`t care,but blow me bowlie anyways.Canadian listees: Are any of you going to the Ottawa Blues Fest? (Hey,hey..i`m cool) Aretha cancelled but but but the lineup is now as follows: Smokey Robinson (mmmmmmmm),Little Richard,Booker T & The MG`s,Eric Burdon,Rod Pizazza & The Mighty Flyers,Lil` Ed And The Blues Imperials,John Hiatt,Otis Taylor,Denise LaSalle,Bobby Rush,Gladys Knight there`s tons more in the gospel tent and all that,but im just typing what the flyer says. I`m going to be volunteering there,wiping the sweat off of furrowed brows. the whole high school thing: Sometimes (well most of the time) I just hate being in school,especially during the summer,those stuffy classrooms and never-ending lessons,horrible tests,those are things I won`t miss...but the people,yeah some people can be asses,but don`t you find that anywhere,at all stages in life? The friends,that`s what makes everything GOOD about it..it get`s me really depressed...you always hear those stories about how most people don`t have friends with ANY of their friends from high school when they`re older,it`s really sad for me,I mean..what if you don`t find friends like that ever again? It`s different rules it seems to,at school,you can just meet someone,see them at a party,and sometimes you`re instantly bonded,but i don`t think it`s the same later... I wouldn`t believe all those stereotypes if I were you, sure,some places are awful. It seems at schools currently it`s the goths that get picked on,but I have to be honest here (I`m not saying ALL goths do this so don`t freak out on me) a lot of goths (well at my school anyways) will wear capes and makeup and strange things...and its just begging for attention, if they don`t want the attention,then why do they so desperately rely on it?(not just goths,all sorts of people,I`M NOT LABELING HERE) I mean,if we live in a world where people can`t accept others because of their skin,you think you can just waltz around with whatever you want and no one`s going to say anything? maybe it`s sad,but it`s reality. And we ALL have our own problems,all this victim crap, some people have really serious problems and they learn to deal with it. Yes,you`ve really got to be careful with stereotypes,I mean, not ALL jocks are dumb,just like not all nerds can`t live without their bunsen burners.Being fit IS important too, you cant have all books and learning.They go hand in hand. Sound body,sound mind you know? I wish I had a Super Nerd brain anyways,god how I do! It`s not funny! Some people can just be like `oh I didnt study and I got 100% on my chem test` I would kill for that! And hey-- being friends with the teacher`s? There`s NOTHING wrong with that,it doesn`t mean your a teachers pet. Sleeping with your teachers to get better grades is ok too. Ha ha..just kidding.Although Mr.Kincaid (the substitute teacher) is delicious. He`s married though,with a kid and everything, why are they always married. le grand sigh. And maybe it`s just me....but how can you not like Prom? Prom Passion!The dresses,the date (well,sometimes the date is dreamy)the corsages,dancing,all the primping...sigh...it`s BEAUTIFUL, the one chance you really get to be a princess (or prince,however you like it).I`ve got Seventeen`s from ages back in 93 and the prom fashion spreads were always so gorgeous...the flowy dresses,the girls running on the beach..*sniff* ok,maybe I wouldn`t be so eager if my Prom was held in our gym or something,but still...man,its PROM! Stu D`s Winter Wooksie: What`s it all about? I have my own ideas,but you will all think I`m obsessed when I share them.I have invaded Stuart David`s concious with my constant pestering,I KNOW IT. Stuart Babe: Don`t fight it.Let it take you over. I have my own idea to Lazy Line Painter Jane as well..but that`s an old thread isn`t it? Sometimes I do wish I could`ve gone to high school in the 50`s. That whole Innocent America (I know it`s probably the rose-coloured glasses and all) really appeals to me.Going to the Malt Shoppe with Your Boy.Wearing poodle skirts and sighing hopelessly about Bobby Junior.Doing the Locomotion at birthday parties! Jukeboxes. Putting posters of Paul Anka up on your walls.Paul Anka got much more cooler in the 70`s though didn`t he? I don`t like that Diana song (he warbles) but I like that hippy one `You`re Having My Baby! I`m a woman in Love...etc` Ah sorry Blake that my spot in your heart has been taken.It`s exam times here. And NO,not the fun exams like the university people do,the horrendous,reduces me to tears ones. The university ones look fun.I`ve seen the students...all they do is is sit out in those lovely cafes on warm summer evenings and drink! No,I`m not bitter. Just because they all have their,ooh,hip univeristy girlfriends and they probably do all these artsy things,I`m not bitter. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
