hello sinister. Just wondering if any other sinister people live near to Birmingham uk or is it just me and zoe? and has anyone else been surprised when one of their friends comes 'out'? (you can say it ruth. I know jon, i was just breathing in) and then thought that perhaps they thought they werent the shockable type, and then thought again that it wasnt so much shock, more realising the person had been so quiet for such a long time that when they finally came out and said it we were more shocked by the voice than the words? I m still surprised in a happy way, like news of a new baby. or a cat in a certain nebraskan's case. its like he has come to life, which is nice. two questions. a. I would love sinister people to meet in birmingham uk (sorry out there), but I think there is only two of us. I don't blame you, I'd just like to know that we are alone. b. now this is slightly unprofessional but I am scraping a dry barrel of terrible men's magazines at work for stories and I like you all a lot better. I need some interesting 'facts' from France/ Germany/ London , with a focus on technology and medicine...oh I am sorry, but to compliment this you might send me also anecdotes of belle and sebastian high jinx there and I could compile a brief and fun guide of sinister stories from / activities to do when in europe - at the same time! if you do know anything 'fascinating' (so specific I know) then mail me , not the list. love ruthx _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
