Sinister: confessions

[ericb5]

dear sinister,

i confess i love you but also that i've never written.  it's 
been..hm..since legal man that i've been on this list and i've never gotten 
up the nerve.  might be because i once tried posting onto a blur newsgroup 
and they laughed me out of the place!  joke's on them now, it seems.

anyhow i don't come to you to talk about blur.  i just wanted to say hello 
finally.  my name's eric and i'm a student in english and film in berkeley, 
california, a few steps away from where b&s played a few months ago.  want 
a secret, secret confession?

yhskrow: just peeking out over the next two papers i have to think about 
this coming week
yhskrow: well actually.
yhskrow: i'm drinking

there.  now you also all of you have my aim addy too.  is there a rule 
about this sort of naughty behavior?  i promise to spend at least 15 minutes...

do all of you enjoy that foxgloves cover of morrissey's 'i know very well 
how i got my name' as much as i do??  i tried resisting the first song  on 
that ep for a while because it felt maybe a little contrived but alas i 
can't fight my nature.  when the guitar arpeggiates and 'you're waiting for 
a bus in the rain,' i just go all weak and start singing along.  i think 
that the foxgloves might even be based in oakland, which is of course right 
next door from here, but i don't think they don't play around too often.

me i write songs too and i was sitting on campus the other day wondering, 
after graduation, what i'll tell people i do.  and then it hit me.  'i'm in 
the tune department.'

that im conversation, by the way, ended rather abruptly.  i think he told 
me to 'enjoy [my] drinks' and i spent a few minutes wondering whether or 
not he was condescending.  and then wondering whether or not i should care.

that should do for an intro.  thanks for being(,) sinister.



'so let's all why not put a wing up and life carefree'

ps..juju, are you still on this list?  if so, hellooo!
