Sinister: He taught me about having "the fucking horn": 101 Reasons To Love Neil Robertson

[Laura Llew]

101 Reasons Why I Love Neil Robertson

1. He was the first person I ever heard kick about the phrase of having "the 
fucking horn." He was using it in reference to a song and so I mistakenly 
thought it might me to have a headache. (It made sense to me!) Thankfully, I 
asked for clarification or else I could see poor American me bumbling that 
British slang quite horrifically.

It reminded me of the first time I heard the term "knackered." Since I 
wasn't familiar with it, I thought the boy was asking me if I was NAKED. For 
a second I thought foreign boys really were a lot more fun than their 
American counterparts. I should have known better.

2. For his birthday, he *gave away* a copy of Storytelling on vinyl. So 
kind.
3. He regularly showers people with flurries of "fuck you." Again, so kind. 
Of course, Neily boy, but you'll have to buy me dinner first*.
4. He told others I gave him porn for his birthday.
5. He'll forgive me that I didn't really give him porn for his birthday
6. He'll forgive me that I'm not going to finish this list in fear of 
getting a cramp in my pink if I really do list all the reasons to love him.

This might be the shortest Sinister post I've ever sent but my thoughts 
aren't congealing enough to be able to write anything coherent. I'm 
currently in the land of Milk & Cookies (Utah) and shall be heading to 
either Aspen Colorado or Wyoming ("Q: Can you explain why Wyoming advertises 
that it is "Like No Place on Earth"? A: Because the rest of Earth wanted to 
make it clear Wyoming was an anomaly.") for hiking/camping/introducing my 
skin to the outdoors again and hoping it doesn't scream in resistance. We 
were going to head down south to Arizona but I vaguely remember the July 
Fourth week of 99. I posted to Sinister about it and said something to the 
effect of: Arizona is lovely this time of year - especially if you're 
planning a trip to the core of the sun and want to acclimate yourself to the 
heat first. I think I'll head north this time.

Thanks to Breamsy Boy (Why has no one ever mentioned that he looks exactly 
like Stevie Jackson? Hello - eerie resemblance!) - I now have copies of 
Storytelling on CD and Vinyl.
Fuck This Shit, Big John Shafts...

Maybe foreign boys are more fun -
