Sinister: Open up the broken cup, let goodly sin and sunshine in

[James Thorniley]

Hello sinister!

I've been told off again for not posting enough, so I thought I'd 
better.

Halloween has come very quickly and I've just realised I haven't been 
invited to a single party or anything, <sob>. At least i don't have to 
worry about what to dress up in.

Nick Drake! What a fantastic chap. You must buy his records if you 
haven't already. Auntsadie seems to think he's ripping off B&S in a VW 
advert, but i'm not sure if that's true. Man In a Shed is the best song.

I sympathise with poor Amy with her grandfather situation since my 
grandmother went just last week.

It's not like i knew her that well or really had any fond memories - she 
moved up to a home in Huddersfield (many many miles away) when I was 
quite little and we only saw her occasionally. And it's not like she was 
having a fantastic time in that old peoples home anyway. But for some 
reason it's still sad.

On the way to the funeral we listened to a lot of Nick Drake! yay! and 
Belle and Sebastian, because they are also quite good.

Speaking of whom, I met a boy at school who likes belle and sebastian. 
And also Nick Drake! yay! If only I was a girl, or he was a girl, then 
we could fall in love.

He is rumoured to be gay, actually, but he denies it, so maybe I'd 
better not try it on.

I did of course once meet a girl who liked belle and sebastian but I was 
too hopeless to do anything about it.

I hope you've all been watching Roswell High on BBC 2 at 6pm on 
thursdays. If you haven't then you've been missing out on the absolutely 
adorable Maria, who just a few weeks ago had this hairband on that made 
her look an awful lot like Isobel.

Speaking of whom, I will hopefully be going to see the Gentle Waves 
(which, if you try hard, you can pronounce with a distinctly twee lisp - 
try and stick a 'w' on the end of "Gentle") with a few sinistereens and 
maybe this boy from school, fantastic. Who else is going? the london one 
on the first of december.

"He's a mess but he'll say yes, if you just dress in white."

Oh dear, I'm in love with Hannah from S Club 7, but not with any girls 
who I know in real life, that is unfortunate.

An alarming number of my friends are getting girlfriends who they met 
over the internet. I'm all for being sociable over the net and chat 
rooms and stuff are fun but is it really a good idea to decide you 
seriously like someone who you haven't seen?

I rather like my new sideburns. My hairdresser suggested it and I 
thought it would be fun. Now I look even older and it's really easy to 
get various items sold to me, hurrah (being 16 as I am, I get certain 
kicks out of getting into 18 films or buying booze).

This has been a disjointed post with no real purpose except to generally 
advocate the purchasing and listening to of Nick Drake! yay! records, 
which I apologise for but you see I can never keep my mind on one thing 
and I feel I must post because I keep getting told off by a certain lad 
from the list for not doing so.

So I think i should go now
hugs and kisses etc

James

Jesus he knows me, and he knows I'm right...
