wude and then metaphorically running away. I'm not quite sure why I said that, but it's a motif I've noticed a few times - The Boy with the Arab Strap - ooh, naughty! - the little boy on the badge and his two-fingered salute - playing South Park music before coming on stage at the Supper Club - - that sort of thing. Aren't they cheeky scamps? Having said all that, it just makes me love them more.
Mmmm I agree too.Struan mixes tenderness with cheekiness oh so well.Well,at least he makes me think that,but I tend to get wrapped up in fantastical stories that make you clutch that book tenderly to your bosom and sigh.It's more fun being a tease,for sure. I'm reading a short story (Where The Apple Ripens - Jessie Kesson) which takes place in the farmlands of Scotland and it is like RIGHT out of a Belle And Sebastian song.Well,right out of what *I* think a Belle And Sebastian song should consist of (even the girls name is Isabel): ...'Lil Eadie was quite right!' Else panted,as they ran towards the school. 'Our servant's just like that.Always skirling with the horsemen up in the dark in the loft.And you know fine what they're up to!' Isabel DID 'know fine'.But,another knowing,and one outwith her experience,seized sudden hold,carrying her body up into some dark hay-loft,and placing it under,not one horseman,but all the horseman that ever was.She could have deserted Else there and then, and gone flying up to Corbie's Wood,to ease the agony that her mind's unexpected vision had thrust upon her unsuspecting body. 'They must be a TERRIBLE lot,then,' she agreed with Else.Glad that the trembling hand't reached her voice.'They must all be disgusting,just!' (and theres another part,where the mysterious farmer pays a visit,in the story his name is Alex...oh but I know it to be Struan..) Her blood stirred in recognition.The thousand anonymous horsemen Isabel had longed to lie under in the dark hay-lofts began to merge into,and take on the identity of the guest by the fire from the gleam of his leggings to the hairs curling red on his hands.' Seeing as were on the PE subject...I do miss it.I could have taken it this year but chose to be scholarly and used up all my options on chemistry and biology.(Yay.)Soon,soon I will be tennis girl champion of the world though.The whole picking people for teams things didn't bother me,it was more when we would play against boy-things.Thats where we get competitive!I never played soccer/football intensively and I want to learn and get REALLY good because I have this dream of going to england and playing football against a bunch of english boythings (with their little shorts and socks) and beating them so bad! ha ha! but then after the game,we would be alll smudged with dirt and mud and they would feed me grapes and they would be OK with the fact that they got beaten by a girl. mmmmm...I know I should love the snow but I'm longing a bit for sunshine and warmth..I blame it on all those Thailand shots from Leonardo DiCaprios upcoming movie 'The Beach' I wonder if Leo stopped over for tea with Oon because I am sure it is her backyard where all those exquisite scenes were filmed. xxx genevieve p.s that Magnolia movie sure is strange isn't it? I think I need to see it again to understand everything... ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@missprint.org".

it is very cold in toronto. i'm listening to this band called pedro the lion right now, they're not bad. but apperantly the fellow has this problem with girls shaving their legs because it's not natural. now i personally kind of like the look of unfurry knees, but what irritates me about that is the use of the word natural. i mean what is natural? is playing an electric guitar 'natural' mr. pedro the lion singer man? i mean, bathing and shaving my face so that i don't smell and look weasly isn't natural if we look at it a certain way, but i hardly think he'd object to me being clean and tidy. i have mice, i suppose killing them so that their disease carrying droppings don't kill me first isn't too natural either. i suppose really natural and virtuous people lead these idyllic rousseauian noble savage lives for all of 3 days until their bare hippy feet step on a nail and they get tetanus and die because their natural jaws locked shut and they were no longer able to sustain themselves on organic granola. just to prove i am no heartless killer of mice initially i was very solemn and weepy about putting the mouse traps down, i kept imagining that i'd be killing one of those super intelligent mice from the secret of NIMH. i'm still afraid of actually finding a dead mouse in one of the traps. but they kept me up for 2 hours last night with their carousing and i was inclined to take vengence this morning. speaking of vengence: Alexander 'ass man' Borgia scribbled:
I hope you realise, Steve, my mission in life now is to somehow seek revenge on you. Finally, sometime in 1986, I was able to get that stupid theme song out of my head once and for all. You have brought it back. Thanks a hell of a lot. I am now whistling the tune from Hogan's Heroes. Do you hear it? Good, I hope it gets stuck in your head for a few days and your sleep gets interupted by nightmares of being stuck in a room with Richard Dawson telling you, "Survey Says!"
First off, i was quite glad to find that little theme song re-appear in my head as i passed the dishes around the christmas dinner table. perhaps it was my increadible smallness, but i really liked that show and thought it was grand, not as grand as the belle and sebby tv show and not as grand as playing with transformers but pretty good none-the-less. you should be careful with this revenge thing, i currrently have the best of Bony M here qued up to the most catchy bits and i am fully capable of raising the ante in music warfare even higher. unless you want your ass Ra-Ra-Rasputin-ed out of existence i suggest desisting with hostilities immediately. also, speaking of revenge: can anyone make heads or tales of Kleist? if so, mail me privately. i have to read him for lit and its just not going down well. also watch it Alex or i may go Michael Kohlhaas on your ass. i just got a job ushering at the glenn gould studio here in toronto. its actually a government job, which sort of fulfills the only career plan i had which was to work for the feds and get all them shweeeeet benefits. so now i can buy more shoes and focus less on my school work and my own jules-and-jim-like personal life. happy days here we come. i also got a bunch of pink shirts in anticipation of wearing nothing but powder blue, lavender and pink as soon as the weather gets nice enough for me to pull such an obviously spring-timey move. the plan is to look like a member of Kraftwerk with the colour balance adjusted wrongly. also it should shock people after seeing nothing but grey on me for the past 2 months. jeeze, not that i have anything for real to say. i'm kind of scared of the listcrush thing now. i mean, now people could potentially find things out about me. ouch. steven +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@missprint.org".
