Sinister: five years...

[feather boa]

dear sinister,
51 weeks without posting, is this some kind of record etc etc. (i doubt it)

it's my five year school reunion next friday.  i'm still debating
whether to go, the question being, really, how much i have changed vs
how much other people have changed.

sinister, you're virtually the only thing that is the same about my
life now and my life five (and a half) years ago, when i left school. 
(that is if you discount the fact that i'm still living with my
parents and my cat due to underemployment issues).

it's hard to know how much i've changed. i'm going grey, it's not
really a character trait though, is it?  the trouble being that even
if i've changed dramatically over the intervening period, will i just
transform back into my eighteen (or worse sixteen)-year old self the
moment i step through the school entrance?

since walking to my a-levels with fishyclap on my walkman, i've seen
the band play five times (is that all?), they've released one proper
album, a soundtrack and a best-of and a crackingly good dvd.  mmm,
times have changed.  have the other girls at school?

ultimately i think this is going to be  a last minute decision based
solely on how much i like the clothes i'm wearing and whether my hair
is doing what i want it to do on friday afternoon.

in other news, i set up a sinister group on last.fm
[http://www.last.fm/group/Sinister] come and join it if you want. 
last.fm (if you don't know already) is ace - it collates all the music
you're listening to on your computer and makes up your own personal
charts, then if you join groups you get group charts, and also group
radio that you can listen to (for instance) at work, where you don't
have your records. and it's free. which is my favourite price.

pip pip,
