Friends, While all of you will be celebrating Sinister's 5th anniversary together, cozy, in far-off places, I, too, will be silently celebrating over here in West Virginia in the good ol' US of A, all by myself. Although, of course, I do not plan to be very silent. Maybe I'll crank up the music and get loud and rowdy for once. My pets aren't likely to appreciate it, but certainly they'll understand. I was very much moved by Stevie Trumptour's post--even though I am a "newbie" I really am getting a feeling for how much Sinister means to everyone, and it's definitely forming a place in my heart, too! So, in the spirit of the latest Sinister trend, here are a few ink polaroids of my own: This one's a bit hazy and underdevloped. In the photo I have long hair hanging in my face and I am wearing my favorite wedding shorts. In the background stands my sister with cake all over her face and her husband grins, laughing, he too covered in cake. It's a cake fight! This one isn't so old, but when I look at it it brings back a very unfamiliar nostalgia. It's a picture of my ex-wife, asleep on the couch, in front of the television. It looks like Family Matters, or some other old show... yes, I can distinctly see Urkel in the background. Out of the corner of the photo you can see a mysterious hand.. it's my hand! Holding a feather, about to tickle my ex-wife's nose and stir her awake. There aren't a lot of photos of us after this one was taken. This one is quite recent. It's a picture of my two iguanas, Yoko and John, on the floor next to my stereo. Very close to them lays a copy of "If You're Feeling Sinister." Yoko and John don't think this is anything new because the album has been playing on the stereo for months practically. Marianna Longmire mentioned me in her post, and I was so excited to get a mention I practically started to blush. Do I smell a crush vote? Toodles!
