Greetings all. I am here. In Chicagoish. It is colder than a mother**** here today. just heard the weather. it is -19 degrees outside. christ on a crutch, it is too cold to do ANYTHING!!!! i hope that all of you are well. i know that some of you are as I chat with you everyday. :o) i was happy to see a post from ken chu today, i was wondering where he had been. broadband is the only way to go. it is for this reason that i leave my computer at work now. dsl lines aren't available where i live yet and i cannot go back to dialup. poor me, i know. so in my last post i mentioned a school. i went there on sunday. i was the only girl. i am always the only girl. it reminded me of this time that my friend solomon took me to this hard core porn shoppe. i was the only girl there as well. very uncomfortable. but i digress. i love this school. i am going back on saturday so that the admissions director and i can customise a programme for me, as much of the coursework i have done in spades. i start school in march *ideally* speaking of march, i am on holiday from 21-29 march. i think i may be venturing to lovely arizona. are any of you in arizona? i sure hope so. i mean, i have tons of other mailing list types in arizona, but sinister members are just different. i love you all so very much. I can honestly say that this is the only list that i am on which i don't dread messages from. the truth of the matter is that i love to read posts on here. i think it is so funny that many/most of us, pour our hearts out on this list when, in a social setting, most of us would never speak. i think we are a pretty shy bunch overall. I got an offlist email from someone the other day that said: Hi there, I am a member of Sinister and I wanted to thank you. I read all of your posts and they always make me feel better. So much of what has happened to you I can relate to and I enjoy everything you write. It was one of those phantom emails. have you ever gotten those? where there is nothing in the sender or subject areas? very odd. well, to my phantom sinister, thank you. and to s. lord, i am so happy that we chat as we do. funny how we find ourselves in similar situations. :o) dirty vicar. where are you? i suspect that, as we speak, you are camped out at the Brown Thomas Fashion Show trying to woo Gavin Friday and send him to me. Do have fun. Chris. I hope that you're still alive and having a swinging time in Texas. ben apps. i loved reading about your wedding. the two of you are a lovely couple. all the best. and that wraps it up for now. trying to stay warm...... ~coldstine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
