Sinister: live through this

[Rachel]

well, this will be my 2nd post, and will probably be nice and dark 
and gloomy as a contrast to my 1st which was sent in a spirit of 
hyperactive cheer on christmas day.

i dislike january.  it's freezing, full of back-to-school woes, empty 
of money, and so far has brought me nothing but a nasty cold which i 
used as an excuse to sleep through french class today.  So it's been 
a disjointed day: up at 8:30 for theatre history, which i dozed 
through, met my friend for lunch at 11:30, then back home where i 
slept in turns and in the turns where i didn't sleep i muddled my way 
through most of "The Ecstasy of Rita Joe" which is the dullest play 
ever written and only on our curriculum in the interests of political 
correctness as it deals with residential schools.  Personally i think 
if we are trying to deal with squeamish (in certain parts) concepts, 
there are plenty of better plays, like "Unidentified Human Remains 
and the True Nature of Love" which i happen to think everyone should 
read, it is a grate play.

But enough of my whining.  I bought several new and unaffordable cds 
the other day:  Modest Mouse - 'The Moon and Antarctica', Bettie 
Serveert - 'lamprey' (which turned out to be a promo-only copy which 
gave me a little glow to feel i had got something rare and unique, 
also Salako - 'Musicality' (that one was for xmas) and The Acid House 
Soundtrack, a movie that looks wonderful but i still haven't seen as 
i have no vcr and my friends who do weren't particularly impressed 
with my movie choices last time. And I'm back to whining.  Really.  
Let's see if i can get through the rest of this post without doing it 
again.

Well!!  I must say, i was rather shocked to find out about isobel and 
stuart.  JenOWL's "Jem to her Scout" analogy is so perfect.  And i 
was sooo comfortable with the to kill a mockingbirdish state he 
seemed to be in.  Ah well.  Things are never as they seem....  

for instance i always seem to get taken as the "cute and innocent" 
type.  I'm not sure why.  I wish i were dark and skinny and looked 
good with piercings... but not in this life.  So i will just take 
comfort in the great amount of fun to be had in disabusing people of 
their notion of me as sweet and quiet and naive... well, the quiet 
part may be true... but only when i'm sober, which has been much too 
often this month.

Oh god.  more complaints.  This post will end here.  And remember, i 
DID warn at the start that it would likely be dark and gloomy. I 
forgot to mention interminably long, didn't i? It's the fault of the 
weather.

and how true that is.  Lots of vague well wishes and belgian 
chocolates, Rachel
