Sinister: A shyness that is criminally vulgar

[Neil Krajewski]

Hi all,

Due to a lack of desire or ability to sleep, I'm not sure which is the cause
of the problem, I have decided to post for a reason which I cannot even
fathom myself, so apologies to all the droves of people who face this post
in the middle of their digest.

I had considered senidng this mail with a personally designed 'Vote
Macarthur' backdrop, but then I realised that HTML mail was banned and
recalled how my art teacher told me she would be supportive and
understanding if I didn't wish to take art any further; not the typical
actions of one trying to fill a GCSE course. Anyway Erica's tales of common
room woe bear a certain affinity with mine except my townie gang like to
mellow down to the sounds of the 'Colour Scene; any abbreviations are
intended as an ironic parody of the abodminable Steve Lamacq as opposed to
an indication of idolism.

I was also sorry ot hear of Marcus' contininuing vicisstitudes (sic) and
seeing as we have such a close relationship I have been trying to ponder why
he suffers from such misfortunes. I don't really have much to report from
the wonderful county town of Essex, as nothing really happens around here. I
was though shocked to hear that one of the lower college who has so far
showcased horrific merchandise originating from, in descending order of
mediocrity, Placebo, the Manics and the Smashing Pumpkings has apparently
decided to takeover my hallowed music section in the the college magazine. I
am now beginning to wonder whether reviewing Low and Fridge, as well as
doing an article on Love was taking the elitist indie thing a little too
far. By the way I was shocked at Sarah's appalling condemnation of Black Box
Recorder the other day.

My state of disconsolance was heightened by EA's inability to sum up the gal
to mention me by name in her mail; after all we've been through have we
sucummbed to this? Hopefully in this mail I have rectified the problem
noticed by an attentive sinisterine, you know who you are, that my last mail
was sent in the golden year of 1998. For those of you vaguely interested, ie
none of u, the reason for this mistake is that I was using a programme known
as 'Talking E-Mail' to learn how to pronounce words I'd read in books and
the system date had to be overide the shareware restrictions. Sadly this is
all true.

Anyway I have been pondering whether to make an appearance at the
celebrations organised to mourn(Marcus is this a paradox?) the death of ATP,
which I wasn't attending anyway. I have been pioneering my own test based on
the classic Smith's tune (well kind of, whether the Smiths wrote tunes has
been contested by many close friends) 'How Soon is Now.' It involves
progressing through certain questions to test your state of mind before
travelling and whether the event will fit into certain category:

so ask yself:

Do I feel as though I am the ayr to a shyness that is criminally vulgar?
- well often yes, but I'm improving on that front
Might there be someone there who really loves me?
- well more than likely not, but hey that's immaterial
Might I stand and dance on my own?
- well if you've seen what I look like after a days work then that's
probable
Might I go home and want to die?
- well maybe that's pushing it into the extreme terrority

This test can probably be applied to other songs, but this is the one that
always strikes me I suppose. Anyway I apologise for the lack of B&S content,
but further endorsing my support for the 'VOTE MACARTHUR' campaign will
hopefully see me through. By means of premature conselation I must add that
speaking as a college president of a full 6 days standing the roles aren't
as exciting as one might expect: changing the battery in the clock is as
exciting as it has got, but tommorow it is the equivalent of a PTA committe
meeting so fun is in store, I hope.

A passing thought......I have been walking up to people telling them 'that
the basest thing stands still in esperance' all day, what does this say
about me.

Apologies for all the above
