This is only my 2nd mail as a sinister listee after a three week absence for A-Level induced alcoholic stupors whose haze I am just beginning (unfortunately) to see through. It seems to have come at a rather melancholy time too. I was somewhat jealous of everyone going to ATP as it was never an option for poor skint student me, but I think I can appreciate the disappointment you must all feel about it being cancelled. A bit like building up your expectations about this fabulous girl you've liked for ages, feeling certain that she's giving off positive vibes and that something's going to happen, only for her to ask your advise about which of her many other admirers she should go out with, yourself not included, I suppose. (My Celibate Days are very much continuing). Or maybe not. By the way, Erica and Neil should be thankful not to have got the full run down of my romantic disappointments at Saturday's glorious picnic (as Marcus can confirm). Whatever, my commiserations. (spelling?) As for the picnic, it's a long time ago now and you've all heard Marcus's version of it. Let's just say it was wonderful to meet everyone and not so wonderful smiling apologetically at a disgusted looking family eating in an outdoor restauraunt as Marcus threw up right in front of their family. I guess it was like the end of summer..... I sympathise if you're going back to school/ college, but who knows, it might be fun? As for me, I've got another month before university and I'm terrified. I'm sitting in sunny Cyprus, but the holiday atmosphere has gone. I have to work... A bit of B&S content. Has anyone noticed that Stuart sings 'seven years' of river walkways etc. on 'A Summer Wasting' rather than 'seven weeks' like it says in the lyrics? Surely deliberate? (Or am I just too used to analyzing poems/books too closely for English A-Level/ university). Well, I'm off to bed, Alex (or Crunchie. Some people prefer it) ______________________________________________________ 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".
