heya everyone, yay! i'm finally let out of my crib in the nursery, so please be gentle with me -- i promise not to nick anyone's toys or be narky etc. etc. anyhow, this means that it's time for a wee introduction -- my name's melissa and i'm in paris doing my studies in cinematography. but see, i'm getting a tad too lonely for my own good because i don't actually know many people here, well, not many with similar interests, so if you're in the vicinity, could you give us a holler, pretty please? it's getting boring drinking tea alone, and the increasingly nippy weather isn't helping at all. (so, to zoe from greece: i can empathise...) i'm turning twenty-three in a month, should i be stoked about that? sorry for sounding a little whingey, but i'm still trying to get over the fact that england's drawn against scotland for the play-offs -- here's my quandary: technically, i ought to be rooting for the three lions, but in all honesty, the team's rather shitey, innit? we had to bloody rely on the good grace of the swedes. and i've been secretly wishing for the scottish team to win so as to teach england a lesson, but if my mates get to hear of this, i'll never be forgiven. toughie. oops. am i ranting a tad too much about footie? i don't have any b&s-related swear words at the moment, but it wouldn't take too long to come up with a list, but i promise not to rattle them off in public... anyhow, enough of my yammering, i suppose. cheers, -melissa- p.s. and to brandt: hope your mum's feeling better, and you're not being self-centred to talk about your problems -- it releases pent-up emotions, so by all means, talk your frustrations and confusion out, okay? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
