h'loo my dearests, how are all the lovely sinisterines today, then? i'm sitting here being very cold in my eyeliner and atari teenage riot t-shirt [i'm wearing trousers too..do not fret]. my fingers are freezing off. Erica said:

I promise not to moan about the increasingly loud jungle/handbag house tapes you play every break and lunchtime"...only minus the promising part. They even do little dances in their chairs, you know, the darling townie boys, raising their arms above their heads, even sometimes making little tooting gun motions with their fingers in time with the beat, occasionally shouting "Tune!".

yes yes yes..oh, i empathise with you so much erica..can you feel the floods of empathy coming all the way from oxford to you? the boys sit round the stereo and blast out their loud drum'n'bass and jungle and hip hop from the one speaker [having busted the other one through sheer load of bass] and nod their heads in a duck-like way, while i sit in a corner and glower at them from behind my mascara. but at least i'm not scared of them anymore. now i sit in a corner, and make the occasional cutting remark on thier sex lives [which they never shut up about], which winds them up no end. only one of them [the drug dealer/all-round nice guy] has started calling me "crazy lady" for no apparent reason, which worries me. but what worries me even more is that he has recently been incredibly tactile, coming up behind me and thrusting his arms round my waist...*yak*. what do i do? erica, go to the stereo. go, and place in there a tape of the darling belles. that should get them out of your way. if there is any resistance, put on your best evil and sit in front of the machine. going back to school is such a wonderfull thing. i had double french first thing this morning. which was nice. it was oh so cold, today...the weather man lied - he said it would be dry and warmish in oxford, so i dressed to fit that prediction. never believe a word on teletext. oh, and i'm not so depressed about having been dumped anymore.....just kos i am determined to get him back. it will happen. it will...i mean to have him even if it must be burglary. i'm going to see his band, stars of track & field, tomorrow night at the bully..should be fun. and i get to be a rockstar beforehand, posing for my friend's art project photos. *yey*. she said i had to pretend i was going to be photographed in the NME. woohoo..i'm getting in the practise early.you'll all see me in the real thing sooner or later. things that are good right now: *beulah - 'when your heartstrings break'l.p. [shifty disco] *blagging yr way onto guestlists *joseph mcfadden being back on tv again [even if he does have wierd hair] *discovering a belle & sebastian question in a literature quiz *mini smarties *a massive les rythmes digitales poster on the ceiling above my bed from the record store wall things that are bad bad bad: *people blagging my lucky strikes *coldness *eyeliner creases under my eyes *leg cramp *coursework essays that's all for today..sorry for boring you. au revoir mes petites etoiles *bug* ___________________________________________ ***the tiny zine on the net*** http://ds.dial.pipex.com/sage/tartrazine ***and the best band in oxford*** http://www.sage.dial.pipex.com/moonkat/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
