Sinister: It's not as if they're paying Chu, it's not as if it's Ken...
Hey SINISTERINES!!! I know I just posted the other day, but there were a few more posts that I forgot to say something about, so I wanted to write about those and tell you about some other things...I'm imagining so many of you seeing my posts and just deleting them!!! But here I go anyway! JenOwl wrote: "So now when I get that feeling, of being untouchable, I keep thinking of that doll, and then I wait for that girl to show up and mess up all the ringlets and pull the legs off everything that's going right. Except she can't. No one can, because this time round I don't have to let anyone play if I don't want to because I don't get scared when people twist my arm up around my back any more. And it's swell." That post was sooooooo beautiful. Really got to me and made me think about how often we let people take advantage of us because we are afraid to "not play"... Most people don't do well with confrontation, but you end up with broken toys if you don't give firm boundaries, don't you! Feather Boa wrote: "i have spent the weekend making far from lifesize models of my favourite popstars in clay. so far i have Jarvis, Struan and Richey. i think that's enough. i'm *so* jealous of smartly dressed Rachel." Yay, FB!!! Making dolls of favorite popstars is awesome! I'd like to see a pic of those! I used to make paper dolls of my favorite bands and give them to the band. it was a good test of which popstars were nice and which ones weren't! And you are *so* sweet to mention me!!! Madeleine wrote about falling in love: "And it just feels like the pieces of the jigsaw have finally fit, or not even that, but that you've managed to do the sky and the edges of the jigsaw, and now you can finish the middle bit yourself." Oh that is so perfectly descriptive. I want to finish the middle part!!! If only I could get these edges put together! I also liked the part of that post where she said that she threw up on her love's shoes at a Suede gig and then he dumped her. What a guy! Archel Toast wrote: "a few months ago, matt wrote on the page for october 8 in his diary this reminder: 'die horribly'. i know he was only bored or something, but i've still been a bit nervy today and won't be quite relaxed until after midnight. there are such things as self-fulfilling prophecies after all..." Ohhh, I am so superstitious like that, too. It takes over all rational thinking! Kirsten Kenyon wrote about a run-in with a rude woman: "instead, she turned and looked and me and firmly slammed the door in my face, and everyone started laughing, and i laughed too and walked outside and she called me a name and said "i don't know who the hell you are"" i am amazed that anyone would do this to Kirsten! how *dare* she! Do you want me to come up there and kick her ass for ya, Kirst? Kirsten also wrote: "wait, am i engaged to ken chu?" Well, we're waiting for the answer!!!! Spike wrote of the mixtape battle: "I'm up for that. One question. Do we get bonus points for obscurity?" Ken, are you gonna answer this? Are you even going to be the judge? I'm prepared to ask Laura Llew to judge in "Llew" of you, if you think it would be biting off more than you "ken chu" (ohgod, I kill me! or somebody kill me!) Joe Vester wrote: "I am definitely going to be a Rachel, if they'll have me ( don't get me wrong, I like the Wills( and the Chrises(?)) as much as anyone else, I just think Rachel's a cooler name. And you don't get to make up your own surname with the Wills). I think the mix tape idea rawks." well, apparently nobody ever said that you couldn't make up your own surname with the wills, I know that Ernie is considering being Will Paprika for the battle. But I agree with you, Joe, Rachel is the better name! So, perhaps you can be Rachel Pancake or Rachel Mimosa. Anyone else? That's 3 honorary Rachels and GUESS WHAT!!! There is a SEVENTH Rachel on the list!!! She lives in Norway and is Rachel Jones, but we have decided to call her Rachel Orange Juice! Rach O.J. is in the nursery, but she is quite lovely, so when she is able to post, you're in for a treat! A shout out to Rach O.J. !Viva Rachels! Marianna wrote regarding Will Salt and Will Pepper: "Oooh, can I then be Will Spinderella? We can then sing "Let's talk about B+S Baby" and "Whataband". ha ha etc." OH MY GOD!!! I think I peed my pants when I read this, it's so silly! A shout out to Marianne!!! Katie Cheeriodle, HR wrote: "Last week, I mentioned to dear Rachel Fruitloop that I am undertaking the goal of having more fun, especially mid-week. I am finding it more and more necessary to break up the monotony of the workweek." Oh man, this can really improve your life, I'm telling you! I remember 2 weeks in July of 1998 my friends and I had the legendary "FAKE WEEKEND '98", we would come home from work, take a nap and then go out every night like it was the weekend! Whew! It was FUN! You should try it! Carle Groome wrote: "And if I say "The Rutles," there should be a rousing cheer and occasion cause enough for heads to nod in agreement to the aforementioned overweening enthusiasm spasm." ROUSING CHEER!!! THE RUTLES-ALL YOU NEED IS CASH is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. If you like the Beatles and your sense of humor is keener than a warped wooden door, you need to see this movie. Neil Innes is a brilliant songwriter, too. I think I prefer some of the Rutles songs to the Beatles songs!!! Caleb Ben wrote: "you all should go out and listen to donovan, i bet you'll prolly have a perfect moment also." When I used to live with my parents, when I would be listening to Belle & Sebastian, my dad would always come in and say "is this Donovan?" Caleb Ben also wrote: "tell me: does anyone else out there like steely dan? well i'm i'm sure SOMEBODY else my age in this wide world must. and i'm willing to bet that they are on this sinister list, reading this right now." I like Steely Dan! In fact, I wrote once in a fanzine "Ricky, don't lose MY number!" and I think I was the only one who got the joke! Eric the half a bee wrote: "which reminds me of a joke I heard once: "'I don't want to die! I want to finish my book!' 'you're writing a book?' 'no, I'm reading one'". I think it was on "perfect strangers". thank goodness for bad 80s sitcoms." Ok, Eric, you're quoting Perfect Strangers has got you so much closer to having me vote a list crush on you!!! Thanks for that one! Congrats to Sam Walton for being quoted (or misquoted as it were!) in the NME!! I agree with you about Oasis being grate in 1995, but becoming crap by 1997! I was lucky enough to see Oasis at a very small venue (The Whisky a go-go)here in L.A. in September of 1994 and they ROCKED!! (Oasis loved the paper dolls I made of them, except for Liam who didn't care, so there you go!) Joseph S. wrote: "I don't know if B&S label Cohen as an influence though much of their stuff is reminiscent of his text-heavy 60s/70s work (67's Songs of Leonard Cohen and 71's Songs of Love and Hate in particular)." I think Songs of Love and Hate is one of the best albums!! On my mix of Unrequited Love Songs I put "Avalanche" by Leonard Cohen on it. It's such a stunning song. What a voice he has! A shout out to Colin boy, you doll! (Pay no attention to where I'm about to say I was yesterday!) I heard The Strokes at Ryan's house yesterday (Hi Ry-ry!) and I think they're better than I expected. Not bad, but definitely nothing serious. I could see enjoying them like I enjoy Bis. I don't know if that makes any sense to you all, but when do I ever?! Is anyone up for a Southern California picnic anytime soon? A lot of us missed the last one, so it would be fun to do another. I know that Katie Cheeriodle, Rachel Cornflake, Ernie and Brier are interested. If anyone else is, please let me know and we'll try to arrange for something! That's all I got kids! Lots of love to you all, Rachel fruitloop __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo!

HELOOOO SINISTERINES! I'd like to begin my REALLY LONG post this fine evening by quoting the grate Laura Llew: "I have found that if you don't have enough time to read all of the sinister posts that just getting to Rachel the Fruitloops will give you all the highlights - a bit like just glancing at the top of post office mullet boy's head." I've often thought of my posts as a bad out of style hairdo dressed up with the fine touches of frosting an tipping bleach that say "Yeah, I meant to do that! Now get into my Pontiac Firebird!" Is that what post office boy is like, Laura? What a Llewser! Of course, the highlights are according to my whims, so if you are hoping to see what has been posted about things other than Ken Chu and fecal matters, !Viva Rachels! and the battle of Wills, Sinister list romances, and anything else that tickles my fancy (li'l self-serving ol' me!), then I suggest that you read the individual posts yourselves, but maybe mine will give you a bit of a "feel" for what's out there if you've fallen behind. Let the summary begin! Richard Gillanders wrote of Steely Dan: "oh. FRUITLOOP - the one that isn't to lose that number is actually 'rikki'. not 'ricky'." I suppose I should have been more specific, I was actually printing the quote in my fanzine about someone named "Ricky" and the spelling was just modified to add to my cleverness! I should have known that you'd notice, your cleverness abounds! ;) But I must say, I find it amusing that you commented about my spelling of rikki/ricky yet nobody seems to be alarmed that the word "probably" is being spelled "prolly" all too often these days, someone tell me that people are just trying to be cute... I predict that "prolly" will be in Webster's dictionary by the end of this century, perhaps even sooner. I think that's prolly as shameful as not knowing who Jack Kerouack is! d'oh! Jim Gilmer wrote: "Stine infected me with the phrase "Punk Rock", and now that's become my new exclimation. I intend to infect as many people as possible. If you find yourself shouting "PUNK ROCK!" in an exclimation of happiness, blame Stine, she started it." OHHH NO! I've adopted the exclaimation now, too! Except in honor of the !Viva Rachels! movement, I prefer to say "PUNK RAQUE" (Rachel is "Raquel" in spanish ya know!) Ken Chu wrote: "To summerise, the tape with the best songs with the best puns with the biggest cheque will win. Wait, am I engaged to Kirsten Kenyon?" OK, you two, what is going on here!? *wink wink, nudge nudge* YOU READ IT KIDS, KEN WILL JUDGE THE MIX TAPE BATTLE!!! HOORAH! ******************************************************* I think the easiest thing for us Rachel Team to do is this: If you are on team Rachel or would like to be, e-mail me with your mailing address. It will then work sort of like a chain. The tape will be recorded on and I am trusting you to use your best judgement about what to put on it. Then you are to mail it to the next person, their address will be provided for you. When the tape is done, it will be returned to me, and then the bribe cheque will be written and sent off with the tape to Ken. Any participants will also receive a copy of our finished masterpiece! ******************************************************* And Will Porter wrote: "We should have insisted on pistols at dawn, but now you've botched it. Must I do *everything* around here?" MOUHAHAHAHAHAHA! *rachie rubs her hands together* and Will Porter also said to miss Laura Llew: "To which I can only respond: Ha, ha, and HA. Your habit of lending things betrays you bookshop girl (which, incidentally, can be sung to the tune of the Dead Milkmen's "Punk Rock Girl")" Which tells me that the !Viva Rachels! gang has *nothing* to worry about!! Dead Milkmen!? (no offense, but C'MON!!!) AN Monchichi (hee!) said : "i wish the mix-tape battle teams good luck! I haven't decided on whom to cheer yet but I honestly believe the Rachels are up for kicking some butt ;) I'm glad I'm not the judge! One mistake and you live in fear for the rest of your life.....boh!" OH YEAH!!!!! We're SO UP FOR IT!!! But listen to AN, Ken, and remember I can put a stop-payment on my cheque! ;) Caleb Ben wrote: "have any of you rachels ever heard of the band "rachels"?" I have heard of The Rachels but have never listened to them. Are they as good as their name? ;) ****************PICNIC? PICNIC. PICNIC!**************** Since the Chicago Picnic was so fabulous last weekend, I want to have a Southern California picnic, especially because I was a loser and didn't know about the last one (yeah, I know Cornflake, never again!) I think that a few of us have decided that we will probably have it at Griffith Park again because we can't think of anyplace else. Ernie also thought it might be cool to all see a movie in the evening (think 'leccy bill, think cinema, think string bean jean!) and I, for one, am all for it! So, I'm thinking Saturday November 10th. What do y'all think? I'm open for suggestions! ...and isn't another big Sinister picnic this weekend? In Dundee is it? Astrid said: "I know it sounds horrible, but I don�t want her to listen to B&S because she is such a bitch and never care about other people�s feelings." Well, rest easy little star, if she really is the unfeeling bitch you sense that she is, she won't *get it* anyway... But I know what you mean about not wanting to share your favorite things with people who for one, are stinky and for two, don't smell so nice... Hi Johan! Welcome back!!!!! Ken Chu, your last post was... well, I'll just say that ya dung good! But it took a turd for the worst by the end! ;) Where is Stacy Dahling these days? Nobdy has mentioned a visit from her lately! AND NOW FOR... SINISTER LOVIN'! Juju wrote: "just now, as in this past week, my whole world is coming together again. better than ever. closer, warmer, more loving, more exciting..i feel the bud poking through the ash after the fire." I am soooooo happy that Juju is happy!!! You're the grape, too, darling! ;) You must tell us all what your band is called so that we can go shopping for your album... and congratulations!!! Mr B. Ben Apps wrote: "Crushed - another true story How crushed would you be if your crush announced that she had been crushed by who she crushed but it wasn't you? This happened to me. boo hoo." Well, Ben, I have a similar story. Imagine if you were crushed and you didn't know who voted it on you, so you voted it on the boy (or girl if you will) that YOU have a crush on, only to be perplexed because it wasn't a match and then when your crush voted a crush on you it was weeks after you had voted one on them, so you got to thinking that your crush didn't like you but then you're relieved that they do, but this mystery admirer is still floating around and not making themselves known and their adoration goes unenjoyed....HEY, WAIT A MINUTE!!! Am I engaged to Ben Apps? Kara Jean wrote: "I'm beginning to think I have to move to England right away. I'm realizing what is really important to me." Ohhhhh, the Kara and Peter story is my favorite! I am really rootin' for you kids! Kara your thoughts were really beautiful to read! *****************COMMERCIAL BREAK************************ I just saw a Ragu spaghetti sauce commercial and they are playing T.Rex... I'm sure Marc Bolan is raviolling in his grave! The Robster Brennan wrote : "Laura and Vel are planning to release cupid. Good thing. Despite what that Murdoch chap said, there really isn't enough love right now and the poor blighter's been shut in that basement too long at the mercy of the spinisterines. Hope its not too late to save the World." Oh me oh my! If Cupid is being held captive, I'd say he's been working against me all this time! My dance card has never been so full! Don't let him out girls! Rachel Grapenut wrote: "I said in return "there's too much luv to go around these days." And suddenly the belle and sebastian song made sense! I had always thought of it as a somewhat annoying song against free love or something. It never quite make sense. But now it does!" Yeah, you know a lot of people say they love you and they don't really mean it. I mean, I always sign my notes "love" but that's because I mean it. I love that you took the time to read my note, so I'm just letting you know! but I don't tell people that I love them just to be cute. I can always tell when my mom misses me because when I talk to her on the phone she'll say "I love you" before we hang up. but when she's gettin' too much of "the Rachie" she doesn't say it. Astrid wrote an amusing post about being a mom and being a B&S fan and how her kids might rebel against her: "P.S Anyone ever thought of naming their kids after something B&S, or just with like a favourite caracter in a book or a writer or a person in a movie or something. Or is it just me being sick?" I've thought about naming a daughter Louise after Louise Brooks, but not because I want her to grow up to be a slutty lonely freeloading silent movie actress, but because Louise Brooks was beautiful and quite ahead of her time for being a feminist and being sexually liberated. I think that's cool. And as for rebelling against parents, it was fairly hard for me because I was raised on grate music. My way of rebelling was to *not* take drugs (dirty hippies!)I swear my mom loves Morrissey more than I do... But I cringe when she insists on listening to "The Last Of The Famous International Playboys" on repeat for two hours, or when she breaks into song, but in that mom's not-quite-right rhythym and it's "My Love Life". Oh, and don't get me started on The Cure or Erasure. Sheesh! *****Colin, don't read this part!******** By the way, brave Ryan from this here list has agreed to go to my parents' house with me this Sunday. It will prove to be a real circus! I hope you are up for the challenge Ry-ry! My younger brother left town last weekend and got married and is returning to get his things and move out of state with his new wife! And my grandmother who goes by the name "Badger" will be in attendance! You can all catch it on the JERRY show in a few days... *****Ryan, don't read this part!*********** Colin boy is sooooo adorable and I am sad that I didn't get to dance the night away with him in Nashville! You lucky lucky girl, Amy! Kirsten Kenyon posted about crayons and clue games and lost sketch books and dropping napkins with your phone number on peoples' tables and saying "take it, is for free." and gatorade. And I can't help but wonder how Kirsten can be so illustrious day in and day out... I hope that someday I'm sitting in a cafe with her and she can think of something interesting to write about how we have the same shoelaces, cos you know she's just THAT GOOD! There have been posts with your "dream team" band and a sort of fantasy football thing, and I think that is really grate! I'm not quite sure I understand the rules though. So I'll just shut up about that! Jenny Darling wrote: "speaking of..i bought a couple of japan records this past saturday. quality." Do you mean JAPAN Japan, as in the eighties band, or just records that happen to be from Japan? Cos if you mean the band I'll be excited and, well, actually if you just mean the country I'll still be pretty darn excited!! Jenny also said in her subject line that the role of her was being played by Parker Posey. Who would be cast as you in a movie? I think I'd like to be played by Milla Jovovich. But Caroline Rhea will actually be the one who gets the job;)! Katie wrote about her boyfriend: "to make a long story short he was real pissed at me and said something about not wanting to talk to me anymore because I was putting other things before our relationship. We've only been dating for three weeks." I hope you made him feel like a tool by telling him that you just found out that your dad has advanced colon cancer and that he shouldn't be so inflexible anyway! I'm glad that you're feeling a bit better, despite this, Kate! Ok, I promise I'm about to stop typing. I just want to say that I feel like a lucky girl and I hope this feeling lasts. You are all so brilliant. Kisses to Colin! And shout outs to my posse! You know who you are! ;) PUNK RAQUE!
