Sinister: her dubious debut

[Jennifer Gray]

   I've been out of the nursery for a while, just
reading the posts when I get home from work, getting
to know everybody...  I'm a little nervous about
posting, which I notice is common.  I think it's
because there are so many good writers on the list! 
You all write so amusingly!  How can a dimwitted lass
such as I hope to write anything befitting such an
illustrious list?  Blegh, I can't.  I'll barrel ahead
anyway.  Damn the torpedoes...
   I drink way too much chocolate milk.  But even
though I know it's making me fat, I keep doing it.  I
have really short breaks at work, no time to eat *and*
smoke a cigarette.  So I drink chocolate milk and
smoke at the same time, and just *feel* like I ate. 
This morning I took my half-finished choclate milk out
of the refrigerator at work before I left, and I
noticed a whole bunch more in there.  I'll bet they're
all mine.  Somehow this struck me as extremely funny. 
I'm waiting to see if the whole refrigerator fills up
with half-full chocolate milks.  Then I'll *know*
they're mine.  That would be hilarious.  A monument to
my greatness.  I'm tired and silly.
  B+S content:  I had "Stars of Track and Field" stuck
in my head all day.  Especially the part about terry
underwear.  No one knows who they are here.  And it's
so hard to describe what kind of band they are. 
Especially to people who wouldn't understand what
"indie" means.  And so I pack plastic bottles at work,
listening to B+S inside my head.  hmmm....my opinions
are not nearly as elitist or "hip" as they once
were...since I got married, I haven't been part of any
scene.  So, I've made do, and learned that you can
really be friends with all kinds of people, even if
they listen to crappy music, and you have nothing in
common with them.  But certain music (like The Smiths
and B+S) has become such a part of me, my identity,
that I still feel really alienated sometimes.  You
can't explain to them what you listen to, and they
probably wouldn't like it anyway.  Ack, this has
become redundant.  But you understand what I'm saying.
   In a sort of response to recent posts  (I don't
remember who wrote them, but you will know who you
are):  to the girl in Oklahoma, so am I.  To the girl
who has a mad crush on a married man, so do I.
   But anyway.  Hi, everyone!  I will beat a hasty
retreat now.   
XXXOOO  Jenny
