i've just about recovered from being naked now. it was almost back to the good old days of archel smut there, wasn't it? gordon's last post made me think of an old friend who used to send me long stream of consciousness emails from the cavernous computer room at kings college in cambridge. he was hating his course and existing on caffeine, so the emails were random in the extreme. but amazing. desmond was writing about having to turn the lights on at 3pm, but i must say that i get a little thrill from that, at first. today i was on a bus home feeling deliciously sinister (and protected from the rain), and the lights were twinkling on london road and blow me if it didn't feel like christmas already. and i decided that maybe there is still some hope left in the world, although lots of terrible things seem to be happening really quickly and i can't seem to see very far into the future. a few months ago, matt wrote on the page for october 8 in his diary this reminder: 'die horribly'. i know he was only bored or something, but i've still been a bit nervy today and won't be quite relaxed until after midnight. there are such things as self-fulfilling prophecies after all... this all has nothing to do with b&s, but whatever crap is whirling round my head, i still return to them (even though it's against my principles to obsess over one thing, lest you lose it.) i hope you're all warm and safe tonight. luv archel *************************************** archel@iname.com For the best in new writing on the web, visit www.buzzwords.org.uk Contact us on buzzwords@bigfoot.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
