hi lovelies, have any of you heard the duran duran cover of perfect day? it really is quite amazing. lou reed said that they performed that song the way that he had always invisioned it. enough of that. how are y'all doing? i'm okay. sitting here somewhat trepedatiously as we are being told to stay calm and live life as we normally do....but expect a terroristic attack at any moment. does anyone else find the contradiction in this? i dunno. this whole terrorism thing is relatively new to us here in america.....i don't know how people can live in fear of things like th� each day. i can't imagine growing up like that. you know what has always struck me as...almost funny...about the IRA? granted, they are bastards, and I am in no way making light of the things that they do and have done. it just always amazes me that the IRA always tell people where they are going to bomb. at least they give people a little time to get to someplace safe. like in....circa '96/97 when they bombed the mall in manchester. they told everyone they were doing it, then said "if you get hurt, it's your own damn fault." of course, it isn't the fault of the bomb. weird. that always makes me the of EUREKA STREET, by Robert McLiam Wilson. It is set in Belfast and there is this one particular scene that always haunted me. There is this girl who hasn't had many boyfriends. She is a little on the heavy side and has a lot of probelms with confidence. She meets this boy who thinks the world of her. He loves her how she is and, because of this, she gets more confidence. So she is at a shoppe and decides to buy a skirt, shorter than she would usually do, because she feels really sexy and attractive. There is this build up and the reader gets so enchanted by this girl, you are really rooting for her. then she is walking home from the store and gets killed in a bombing. it broke my heart when i read that. that was long before the WTC attacks here, and I had never had to deal with any of that "for real", so to speak. it was always happening far away from here and impossible for me to comprehend. that is some scary stuff tito. onto much lighter and insignificant things. i got shorn yesterday! HOORAY!!! i have my short hair again! i am so happy. it's all spikey and flippy again. i also have this red stuff that you can put on the tips of your hair or whatever, and it puts these red streaks in it...i also have blue. tre cool. see how cosmopolitan i am. i am so ready for the music industry. now i just need to become more extroverted and stop hiding behind my computer all of the time. oh well. baby steps. :o) i think it is an inherent traint of sinisters to be on the shy side. at least the ones that i have met. anyway. time to go and make an elephant out of hearts. much love to you all. please stay safe. love ~stine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
