well. I've been most unnerved by my upcoming 20th birthday (since we are discussing the age topic) I've been trying to rationalize all the time spent being unproductive and bored for the past... nine years. I mean, really, I wouldn't mind so much if i'd done nothing of note but been entertained and filled the lives of others with happiness. Rather than improve the world I've just sort of puttered around and not really made a big impression on anyone other than my parents. and the impression I made on my parents has been "I never knew kids were this much trouble" Regardless, I don't plan to Make Dramatic Changes. that would require effort. Instead I take my inspiration for the next few months from Belle and Sebastian. I'm going to sleep the clock around, for I haven't a job to spend time working on. Instead I'll make music, write and draw and do all the nice things that I would like to have done earlier but was too busy doing nothing to do. I plan to read lots of classic books. I'm going to spend my summer (and spring) wasting. The time will pass so pleasantly.... ooh, i hope this little ramble hasn't made you all too irate. It's just that it's a rainy lazy sunday afternoon, and I thought I'd empty the contents of my feeble brain into a letter for my fellow sinisterines. affection dave* +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
