This is dedicated to that Greek girl named Zoe who brought to Sinister her stricken tales of woe of all the loneliness on this list she has felt with the sucky geography hand she's been dealt. Of course, I don't share this opinion of chagrin Nor do I have trouble keeping my feelings in Here, you might end up with your dream or an aged wife But when I consider myself and my life I just can't help but think that without a doubt there's no fence high enough to keep you damn phreaks out. And I wonder why I haven't been appointed Sinister's poet laureate yet! Y'all know you love me! (or at least you say you will after you realize what I can do with incriminating pictures of you with that joystick.) I remember the last post I read from Peter Miller mentioned that he might be leaving the list. This was an OBVIOUS desperate plea to me since the last time he left I wrote an ode to him which I'm sure brought tears to many an eye. Oh Petre darling there's no need to resort to such antics. Why I'm full of it (erh poetry) for you anytime! Want to hear something weird? The hair on your back looks like Walter Brimmley's beard Too bad it's not on your head Enough said. We could even do a compilation especially for you, my little pigsnie. I've always been fond of the idea of collecting them in a deluxe, leather-bound, limited edition. Maybe an audiotaped version where you get a famous actor to read it, like Charlton Heston, or Tim Curry or Rich Little doing an impression of Tattoo from Fantasy Island.... Thinking of books (and when am I not?), there has been lots of talk about Perks Of Being A Wallflower on the list. Of those of you familiar with both, am I the only one who thinks Camera Obscura's 80s Fan is the perfect companion song to the book? The more I think about it the more I think that I'm absolutely love the idea. I was going to think of more companion songs but the next song that came on the mix was Ladytron's Playgirl and the last thing I needed to ponder over was what fit the lyric "sleep your way out of your hometown." Though as long as it isn't my diary, I suppose I'm not too worried. Along the lines of dark witty teen novels, I highly recommend The Basic Eight. I've heard that after ticketmaster charges that the price for NYC tickets came up to $37. Now before I get a ton of "there's eight people in the band" and "they're playing bigger venues now" as reasons for the cost, spare me. It's not that I don't understand WHY they're that much it's just that I don't know if they're worth it to me. I'm going to the Atlanta show and I'm going to be in NYC on May 5th so I still might go to both though I'm undecided. For that atlanta show, perhaps there could be a southern sinister picnic. I would certainly hope that it'd involve a lot of Pabst Blue Ribbon and quoting of David Lynch ("Heineken? Fuck that foreign shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!!") Of course, that's just melding what I know of the the only two southern listees that I know in real life (one of them being me). Ok, I'm off to clean as I have a houseguest coming to see me. Thankfully, we're going to go on a roadtrip up north (as they've never been to the northeast US) so they won't have time to realize that I only shoved everything into the closet or under the bed. However, I don't know about these people. I mean to actually spend money to fly out here to see me - without any pretenses of coming here for any other reason. I don't know if I'm more concerned about them & their mental health or me for being friends with people like that. I haven't seen her in two years and I'm worried we won't get along, or we won't have anything to talk about, or I'll have trouble disposing of her body by myself. All of the usual concerns one has with visitors, I suppose. Forever yours, (or till supplies last) Laura 'meeting all of your Laura Llew needs since 1977' PS - Happy Birthday (it's tomorrow!) Shouts out to my best friend, Maddie, who I talk about you 24/7. Mwah! PPS - Random Lip Boy: the husband ran off with the car and the money. I have something to send you (not the french chambermaid - he ran off with her too) but don't know if I have the right address to send it to.
