Sinister: 7 summers wasting

Hi sinisters,

Look I even put in little subheading thingies this time.

The love
--------

But losing a girlfriend who was blonde, full of spunk, with fancy clothes
and who was in your band is no way to be like Belle and Sebastian at all!!
Especially with the full of spunk bit, hear, hear!

It's funny when people say "hear hear!" they sometimes pronounce it like
"hair, hair!"


The pain
--------

Speaking of Hair, I forgot to mention the last time the worst injury I
endured - I only just remembered this - there was this one day when I was
six or seven years old when I discovered some strange growth of hair in a
certain area.. Oh wait, that was when I was eleven and it was a totally
different story!

So there was this one day when I was six or seven, when I discovered some
strange looking apparatus in the bathroom!  It was neither phallic nor
ring-shaped, rather, it was a T-shaped device that appeared to be a blade
attached to a handle - Hey!  I found a RAZOR.  Hello nurse!

So obviously I had to try it out - I learnt how to use chopsticks by copying
what my dad did, I'd seen him shave, so I can DO THIS!!

And it was a success!!!  Minutes later my face was smooth as silk - and
covered in blood!!  For some reason I didn't remember feeling all that much
pain!  I  casually walked to the living room to show off my trim to my mum
and sister, but instead of the expected applause, they had the look of
absolute HORROR on their face.

They took me to the mirror and HOLY SHIT!  I was totally covered in blood.
Haha.

Thankfully my face recovered perfectly.  I could well have ended up as
someone not quite the dashing young man with a stunning look who I am today!


The repentance
--------------

Another thing I had also forgotten from the last post was that, when
preparing for the London Sinister Picnic, I remembered that we'd let the
SEVENTH SINISTER BIRTHDAY RED KNICKERS DAY slip by!  Shame on you!  Shame on
us.

In repentance, I've been wearing the same pair of red knickers for the past
few days.  I guess I didn't really do it in repentance, maybe the first day
was, but now it's kinda glued stuck a little.

But yes, it really has been seven years - I haven't been here for half of
that time, but I certainly feel that more than half of me has definitely
involved this sinister list one way or another.  The things I've learnt, the
music I loved, the people I know, the happy times, the occasional sad and
soppy times I shared with you lot.  Fuck, I can make a list of it, but
that'd be making a list about the list, on the list, and I'd get confused.

I really wish that it will never end.  More posts, please.

Ken
P.S.: My toe is not killing me now.
