Sinister: Fuzzy, furry, blurry

[Amy Skelton]

Noswaith dda (Good Evening) Sinister!

If I’m ever going to learn Welsh properly I’ll need to start practising 
daily but making that time can be difficult alike reading posts/posting to 
Sinister. The original idea when I went to the lessons was to just learn the 
basics as I always felt completely ignorant when old ladies chatted to me on 
the street and I didn’t even know enough to say ‘I’m sorry, I don’t 
understand’ I’m now well past this stage but have started to get into it.

Before, I forget - note to Bron and anyone else wondering - Ordinary World 
is a song by Duran Duran. Apologies if someone else has already mentioned 
it.

Now several people have asked about any pre/post Manchester gig shenanigans 
but with it being a month away nothing definite has been set. If in time 
someone decides to take charge please let me know what is going on. I’m 
really pleased that the gig is in the middle of my Easter hols from uni - 
hehe!! Cay made a fantabulous picnic mummy last time but there seem to be 
lots of you who are still based in Manchester on the list who may want to 
take control.
Whatever happens it’s going to be a drastic change from the last time I was 
in the lovely city, which was for the Frank Morton games last week. This is 
where all the U.K. university Chemical Engineering departments current and 
ex-students get together for one day a year (different venue each year), 
play a bit of sport and for those who do drink alcohol get horribly, 
horribly drunk and end up in a nightclub filled with just Chem Engers. It’s 
so much fun - this year was my fourth time, hopefully of many more to come. 
I’ve never heard of any other course that does something like this and I 
think it’s a shame, but so it goes. We’re really (well most of us), a very 
sociable breed but so many people have a bad perception of what engineers 
are like.

I’m actually very gutted that I’ve had to stop planning weekends away 
kayaking/hiking/conservation work/visiting (the possibilities go on for 
ages) but my design project deadline is looming - aagghhh! I never devote as 
much time as I should to work but it’s near on essential at the moment.

I really need to clear my head. During the last few weeks the conversations 
I’ve had with certain men have been incredibly messy. The just friends or 
more than friends borderline has become so blurry it is almost non-existent. 
I need to decide what to do, but at the minute the thoughts in my head are 
just going around in circles. Most importantly, I don’t want to potentially 
lose a good friend but sometimes friends can make the best partners. I’ve 
fallen into this trap before and I don’t seem to have learnt any lessons 
from the last time. I know this is vague but if I tried to write down what 
is going on I would be here for most of the night. Yoga won’t solve the 
problem but it will certainly clear my head for a while which can only be a 
good thing.

I did have lots to say before but tiredness seems to have kicked in a wee 
bit and more to the point I’ve started pondering my relationship dilemmas 
again.

Take care...
	...Amy

P.S. If you’ve got this far then hotmail hasn’t messed up my e-mail - 
yippee!!!
