She pulled a pen out of her garter and said let me handle this. Then she cut him with an epigraph and slew him with a word..... Perverse: Mark C-my-ass-a-rot-to (He always leaves us hanging) murmured, “In any case, it's the perfect opportunity to meet all your favorite sinisterines. Apart from the ones who live in North Carolina. Feel free to bring non-sinister people - obviously they'll have to undergo the sinister initiation test, so get that life insurance premium in, but the more the merrier.” Ahh, the reclusive Carolinians who never show their faces. (Well, except for Damo who isn’t reclusive but I hear it isn’t his face that he likes to show.. heh). We could have a North Carolina picnic and it would be such an *event*... In this corner, with the rumpled feathers and twisted beak is Pelicannn Boyyy Rob. *crowd goes wild* And in this corner in a shawl with her crochet hook and strawberry tea we have Laura Llew. *All of Laura’s cats go wild* Refereeing is THE ENFORCER, Damon Seils. I’m sure that nerdy shy pacifist, Blake, would be out picketing the whole event while Melissa Williams was wishing she could come but is too busy in the library being ‘checked out’. Are you ready to rumble? Self-conscious.: I was able to fenaggle out of work for an itsy bitsy teeny weenie (but sorry no yellow polka dotted bikinis) vacation this weekend to Charleston. No Sinisterines seemed to want to team up with Laura Llew, so I went to a picnic on the beach without you. And it was lovely! There was volleyball! There was soccer! (Sorry, I just can’t call it ‘football’. It was coed though and just as a warning to everyone... Girls are not delicate out there playing. They’re blood thirsty, mean, vengeful players who show no mercy -- the same way we are in relationships.) I’m sure that no one there has ever heard of Belle and Sebastian but the boys were cute. Who am I to be picky on a sunny Saturday afternoon while frolicking in the waves? Elitist: Anyway, I have decided to become the List Enigma. Normally, you wouldn’t announce to 1200 people that you’re the mystery of the group. It contradicts the whole idea. BUT (Mark, there’s only one t in that word. No need for you to get up.) I’m only going to be that in real life. I’ve had so many failed meetings with other listerines that I’ve decided to give up. So, let the vicious rumors fly about what I’m really like because none of you will ever know! You can say anything about me as long as it isn’t true. Of course, there is no need to settle in on this idea. In a couple of years, I’m sure I’ll be traveling and need someone to stay with. Then, you can all call me a ‘sell out’ and talk of the good ole’ days when I refused to even let anyone see who I was and only sent out pictures of Dorothy Parker instead. Unbelievably Naive: Of all the complaints that I’ve heard people make, I still most remain pro- sinister and say that I love the people on this list. For example, Lawrence Mikkelsen who had the extra copy of Mojave 3 a while ago and offered to send it to whoever e-mailed him first for it. It’s not as if he had to do that but it was undeniably generous.* Julie is also a sweetheart by sending out Will Oldman mix tapes to anyone who so desired. (I would have thanked you personally, Julie, but I forgot your e-mail addy and your last name so I don’t know how to get in touch with you. I did really appreciate it though). That’s why I love Sinister because of the people on here. And just so you all know, any time you want to work on becoming a more compassionate, service oriented person - you can send all gifts and such my way. I’m here to help you become a better person because that’s what kind of caring humble girl I am. Stupendously Dull: There was a lot of talk about having a book review on Sinister but as soon as I told everyone they could send it to me & I would post it... *poof* there was nothing. Is anyone still interested? If so, please send things my way. Feather Boa, you should be happy to know that I talked some young impressionable girl into buying “Breakfast At Tiffanys” the other day. A review on that would be most lovely. If you all depend on me, you will be bound to whatever my fancy is at the time. Right now, I’ve been reading a lot of local (western north Carolina) fiction. In fact, I just started taking a class for the summer on Appalachian Culture where the teacher said that he would “read our eyes off”. Sounded like a pick up line to me! Intellectually Insulting: Though I have the legal man mp3, I haven’t been able to listen to it yet. However, I have heard new album. (Hint Hint: This next part is about the new album. If you don’t want to waste time e-mailing about me calling me a Rotten Spoiler then skip to the delete button. You’ve been warned.) I thought the first note of the second song was amazing. So pure and honest. The imagery was amazing.. I could see the figure of the model lounging about in the beams of the sun coming in through the window. The sculptor who cast aside his tools, injuring his assistant who was looking out the window instead of paying attention... I thought the second word of the first song was a bit disappointing. The “I” seemed a bit weak and fragile to lead into such a strong second word. I don’t know what Struan was thinking.... Um, ok so I won’t give you a play by play account of my opinion of the entire album. Overall, I really like it. “Family Tree” is me perfectly ... without the wispy voice. Intensely Irritating: I heard another Looper song on the television. This time it as “Burning Flies” on MTV’s biorhythms of Beck. Appallingly Dishonest: Does anyone want to cut my career as an enigma short and adopt me? I live in a madhouse but I don’t have enough money to move out on my own. ‘I’m eligible, but not too stupid. Intelligible, cute as cupid. Knowledgeable but not always right. Salvageable and free for the night.’ Of course being cute as cupid isn’t saying too much. He’s a chubby guy in diapers which makes him equally attractive as Drew Carey. Anyway, I’m quite tidy. I write way more than I talk. And beside the more than occasional snide comment, I’m actually quite nice. Any takers? heh. black leather and chains, (You abuse the list your way. I’ll abuse it mine). Laura ‘Being unbelievably naive, appallingly dishonest, stupendously dull, intellectually insulting, elitist, perverse, self-conscious, petulant, and intensely irritating since 1977’ * See, I can say nice things about people who aren’t single! ****Laura Llew’s List Member of The Week**** This goes out to the lovely lass who though her mind was tormented with the stress of finals was able to send out a post with not only one but TWO Twin Peaks references. Though her latest entry might have been full of talk of men in tight tights she’s a doll. So, it all goes out to ................
