Sinister: slip it in, miss ponsomby

[Mark Casarotto]

Right - post champagne-on-Xmas-eve thoughts for everyone.

1. Love to honey. It's not the same without him around - I can't help
feeling he's given up on us. For those of you who actually still have love
and soppy thoughts about the Sinister Mailing List, we owe it to both him
and ourselves to pull ourselves together after the season of goodwill has
shone its beacon of, erm, goodwill on us. It's been all squabbling and
depression lately, and that just won't do. I have never subscribed to any
other lists, and I would never want to. Over the last eight months sinister
has given me so much more than I could have hoped - oodles of genuine,
lovely friends, days out, nights even more out, a gorgeous girlfriend and,
most importantly, the most exciting, funny, moving and intelligent
prose/poetry/stream of consciousness that I've ever had the privilege to be
one tiny part of. I would be so chuffed if I met just one person into Belle
and Sebastian at a party, on a train, whatever - having the opportunity to
get to know 800 of you is something that I'm sure I'd miss like crazy if it
ever went away.

I think that's it really. I too am going to abuse the system just a tad and
send my Xmas messages of love to all those fab people I've met and
corresponded with during 1998 - it'd be silly to list names, but you know
who you are, and you're all GORGEOUS. As are the rest of you, come to that.

I'm writing this in my office at half past noon on the day before Xmas - I
really should go home and deck my halls, matron.

Buon natale amicissimi,
