hello sinister. i'm scared to say that another evil friday night has fallen, and i am again alone in a computer lab with only the sound of these small squarish keys to comfort me whilst keeping me company. sigh. at this very moment, half of myself is writing this and reading posts, and the other half is in #sinister. i feel very ensconced in sinister at the moment, but not very sinister. i realize i easily recognize people's names and nicknames, their writing styles, maybe a fact or two from a post or quip from aunt sadie. and then. and then. i don't know anyone, really, excepting the kind few i have conversed long with, and i always wish that few could be more and the time spent longer. but wait. here's ken, maybe the night is getting brighter... sinister and #sinister, i have decided, must surely make up my utopia. everyone gets along (for the most part). some of us fall in love with each other. and happy music plays all the time. though part of me wishes i could be more popular in sinister land, and that i could meet some of you all. and part of me wonders who ever thought i'd be sitting here typing to hundreds of names that will never have faces in my mind. telling all my secrets and whatnot. hm. the llovely miss llaura llew just entered the room, and mass chaos ran to her. everyone loves you, my dear. :) this typing observations of what goes on in words in the little box on the screen next to this one is odd, so i'll post something a bit more content-y now. today i got up, and realizing i had no class, put on my long red jacket and decided to buy music. i went to the downtown music store i always go to here in lincoln, and noticed a little poster for a live radiohead relese. mental note. then, upon entry, i went straight to the indie section, but not before i was greeted by this lovely looking twee boy worker. i had never seen him before, but soon he and i were gushing about mercury rev, sigur ros, the reindeer section. i didn't have the reindeer section. (misslou pauses for the collective gasp of horror to cease) and this boy made sure i bought it. i rather liked the authoritative way he walked me to each item he thought good and put it in my hand. probably to sell it, yes, but then. i was shopping alone and he was delicious. so. we talked of the strokes. and apparently i must get the import version as well, so. he's going to let me know when that comes in, and believe me, i'll be there all decked out in some finery to brush his hand as he takes the money from mine...ahhh. nothing better than crushes on music store boys. another pulling tip from me: work in a music store, write music reviews, play in a band. these are all sure-fire ways to get a girl's attention, and, if you happen to be in a band, well. look out if i'm around. and i'm taking a moment to round out this way less that fabulous post to send props to all the happy people in sinister and #sinister. to fruityloop rachel for always mentioning me. and to my dearheart. oh, the secrecy of acknowledging people without names in what sounds uncannily enough like a valley girl academy award acceptance speech. misslindseylou _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
