Re: Sinister: bachelors and spinsters
Mike spaketh;
(You know, the type of people who only ride the bus to get to work, get up early for chores on saturday morning and give you wide-eyed disapproving looks when you try to explain what you do for fun. Or the central role that fun still plays in your by-all-rights adult life)
Rather spookily, this isn't a bad description of myself [though the dissapproving looks are usually reserved for me, i have an unnecessarily open mind as to what constitutes *fun* #. And yes I CAN hear you sniggering at the back, so stop it...], though the only reason i get up on Saturday mornings is so i can have the shower and kitchen to myself, before the rest of the slobs i am compelled to live with get as close as they can to vertical [Ah, the joys of life in UEA halls of residense]. This unfortueately means fighting my way to the toaster, and thus tidying the kitchen on route.
Kind of like trying to explain the appeal of b&s to those who only hear the strings, falsetto warblings and homoerotic intimations yet fail to feel the earnest emotion and honesty that has hooked us all
This actually sounds familiar, its the reaction i get every time i try to explain the relevance of B+S, which is why i gave up, and nowadays give them a tape or lend them a cd - this works a lot better, though getting the cd back can often be a pain in the Aspedestra, but not as bad as trying to find 'Bonnie Prince Billy' or 'Magnetic Fields' cds in Norwich... # Many people for example believe that cycling is an unnecessarily dangerous and wasteful occupation - I disagree, overtaking car drivers whilst being sworn at for the privilege is enormous fun...

[bobbing my head to Looper on my new mp3 player. In the Public cluster, do I look a fool? I took the head phones out to see if anyone could hear what I was listening too... no they can't...] Hello sinisterians, this is only my second post (after the obligatory "out of the nursery" post), and its dificult to get up the nerve to actually send what I've writen and not re-write it... again. [as I look around I see another student sitting next to me...] The sinister village is burgeoning, but it still seems that about 1000 inhabitants are commuting or out of work. Can I run the sinister village cinema? Or at least be cheif projectionist? We will show a scorsese film every other week. And Mina Tanambaum in the first week. We'll use old projectors so I'll have something to do. And if anyone wants to make 16mm films I'll project them (that actually goes for the real world too, so long as you can get the print to manchester). Is it alright for me to look like Edward norton, in Fight club, as well? Also I'd like to join Paul A in the football team, unfortunatly I would also like to play in the left back position... could we have a whole team of left backs? I've been telling one of my freinds about the sinister village and she asked if the petting zoo could have petting llamas? Personally I'm a big fan of penguins... [...she looks up and stares into my eyes...] Doesn't honey have to send in a picture of his (I always thought honey was a girl, I hope not to have offended you eitehr way) toe? Because he said: "Why isn't there a Toe-01 yet?" (I hope that doesn't mean I have to). [...I feel my cheeks burning and I have to look away before I melt...] MP3's are great. I've always beleived this, but I've truelly discovered how cool they are, after my housemates bought me a portable MP3 player! [...while typing all I can think about is her...] Catch 22 is the greatest book I've ever read. At least thats what I thought when I read what geof geof had said(about a month ago)... and then I remembered reading das boot, Hitch hikers guide to the Galaxy and the eternal gold braid. When ever I think of a "favourite" I always find other things that I like more. I did think that was a bad thing, but I think it shows my life has good things in it... [... and how I should have reacted...] Fiona: Birds have always been up before sun rise (particularly in wit'ie park). Or at least the last three years. [... I spend the rest of my time flirtivly looking up at her...] I always read posts by people I know (so thats Paul at the moment) and generally I'm not as interested in what good band I haven't heard of as I am in what people have done today. [... but she doesn't look at me anymore...] But having said that, someone mentioned Stevie Jackson in conection with Bill wells, and this made me prick up my ears. I've got BW v's Future Pilot, can anyone guide me to other good stuff by Bill Wells? I may not have tried looking as hard as I could, but its much nicer being told things, than having to find them out, for yourself. [... it's only now that I realise how beuatiful she is...] Rachel said that she doesn't like doing things on impulse, but it seems to me it would be great to be able to forget the consequences. [... her mousey brown bob...] Someone asked who we are... I suppose I'm a geek... Mainly a film geek, but a computer geek as well, maybe even a music geek. But in truth I think its very american to want to be part of a clique (is that how you spell it?). I always find it funny that my brother and all his freinds (he lives in america) all fit into steriotypes... while all the people I know don't. Maybe its just perspective? [... and the way she's fixed her glasses with a bit of wire...] One of the "legs" body parts looks like the start of the bill (number 4). Or is it just me? I've been feeling a bit homesick recently and watching the bill (which is filmed near where I live) hasn't helped. It means that I am reminded of home everytime I see black stockings... which is poo. [... then she took them off...] On the subject of embarassing things... I once walked in on a freind of mine wanking. Also the girl who I fancy (who happens to live underneth me), can hear me... [... she looks even nicer...] Body parts: If we talk about a photo that someone else has sent in do we have to send in a picture of that bit as well? [... now I have to go and I probably won't see her again :(... ] Iris: They call them soap operas because they used to have soap ads in the comercials. And they were like litle operas. And I think it would be cool if we went "on heat" like cats. Imagine men standing around on street corners shouting and rubbing themselves against... oh that already happens... this by the way is a reply to a very old mail. [... It's now a month later, and only this mail reminds me of her...] After I read all the mails from Hong K. I was wondering. Does the chinese calender have a starting point (like ours does)? If so what year is it now? By the way I'm a Dragon, so that would make this year mine... he he, the power... [... and soon even this will be gone.] I had a dream about getting a tatoo and a peircing. Two things I think are silly, but after the dream I wanted them, despite my thoughts about the usfulness. On the other hand, I have a fight club caustic soda scar. This will be news to my house mate if he has read this far as I told him it was an acident in a chemistry practical. Oh well it seems that saving a post for a month just makes it very long (even after I've deleated loads) and rambling... or maybe thats how I talk? Louis ps after hearing all the talk of the sinister chat room, I tryed it... but failed :-( Part of the university rules are: no chat rooms so maybe my failings are just stopping me from doing another bad thing today. pps, I seemed to have a lot of ":-("s in this mail, which is strange as I'm a very happy person, and don't feel that sad.
