Sinister: Out of the closet skeletons

[AMEBIX13 at xxx.com]

Happy Sunday Evening Sinister,
     Hopefully all of your lives are going well.  I just came to the close of 
an interesting weekend.  I haven't talked to my dear, dear Elise all weekend, 
and no matter how silly it may sound to anyone, it is quite distressing 
indeed.  Although I won't let myself get too upset about it since she is out 
and having fun, visiting sinister folks around the midwest, which is 
certainly a cause that I support.  I managed to keep myself pretty busy this 
weekend.  On friday I attended a production of Cyrano de Bergerac that one of 
my friends was in...It was pretty good, and I enjoyed myself.  Saturday was 
certainly the high point of enjoyment for the weekend however.  I attended my 
friend's band's practice in northern virginia, and did hanging out a-plenty 
as well.  My friends play in this *very* intense metal-hardcore band, and it 
is rather funny that I, with my rather delicate tastes attend most of their 
practices.  Unfortunately for them the rocking out was severely limited by 
Rebecca's guitar amp breaking...I suppose their intesity was too great...Like 
Icarus they flew to close to the sun and paid the price.  In lieu of 
practicing they all managed to have a fairly large "battle" involving loads 
of foam toys.  It was fairly amusing to watch, yet somewhat disturbing that 
they could battle like this for hours on end.  Faces were hit, large boys 
were viciously attacked by tiny hardcore girls, and neighborhood cars were 
hit.  Somewhere during the course of the evening, the most interesting 
development of the evening arose.  One of the cats I was associating with 
that night was a fellow named Chris, who plays in local hardcore superstar 
band extraordinaire, "Age of Ruin."  Well, when they play live they put on 
quite a show, they have a fire breather, and people dressed up like 
skeletons, who stand perfectly still, until the time comes to awaken, run 
into the audience and cause havoc...Well, I have kindly been nominated to be 
a skeleton next saturday.  It will make me feel rather important, truth be 
told, since afterall, I will be up on stage, and I will be noticed, although 
I really won't have to do anything other than look vaguely like a skeleton.  
Everyone, at least as far as local hardcore fans are concerned, is always 
talking about how great the skeletons are, now I can dazzle them with the 
fact that mild mannered me, Sean, Boyfriend of Elise, Fan of such groups and 
Belle and Sebastian and Pulp, Quiet anthropology student, and generally 
delicate fellow, is in fact a skeleton in disguise!...After which I will 
promptly remove my skin and show my true nature.  Well, I should be going 
soon....Even us skeletons have our needs and responsibilities such as 
Studying, Getting some sleep, and eating delicious Chinese food.  Oooh, I 
sure do hope that Elise gets home early enough to call tonight...I do miss 
talking to her so much!  Hopefully Kirsten and Jimmy are enjoying exactly how 
wonderful her company is.  Luckily in less than two weeks Elise will be out 
in lovely Baltimore with me, and we will be having the time of our lives. :)  
Well, it's time for this skeleton to go back in the closet.
Loads of undead love to you all, Especially Jimmy, but *Especially* Elise, 
Skeleton Sean
