Sinister: And the moment will come

[Gayle E. Anderson]

Sinister.

Isn't it nice to see a little activity here. These days I read every letter of every post, once upon a time there were as many posts to read a day as there are letters now.

I don't have much to add, really.

At the end of September I found myself, rather unexpectedly, 25 years old.

The first time I heard B&S was when I was 15. I was in 4th year at high school and my English teacher made me a tape of TWATTYBUS/IYFS, I listened to them in that order, so the first song I ever heard was 'It could have been a brilliant career'.
Shortly after that I got the internet, and Sinister was the first thing I joined. That was about nine and a half years ago now. 
The last B&S album I bought was FISHYCLAP and that is not likely to change, ever. I guess my favourite album is IYFS.

I'm writing this because I have exams next week and desperately need to study. Obviously, because this is the best time to do things that don't really need done.

Due a domestic incident I am currently staying with my boyfriend. Being away from there, well I guess its a relief in many ways, but I am having to drive much further for uni, I'm also concerned about Christmas and I miss the dog. I hate the broken family situation, and have always done my best to walk away when things get heated and until 'the incident' I always managed. And the first time I decide not to back down I am met with a violent response. 
I really can't stand the thought of my mother ending up alone and lonely, it makes me so sad just thinking about it, but she keeps pushing everyone away and there is only so much I can do. The situation with her family was not her fault, but she's since managed to alienate most of her friends and those that still call occasionally, she usually brushes off in favour of sitting staring at her laptop all day. Sometimes she takes the dog out for a walk, but mainly she only stops to smoke. 

Recently the boyfriend and I have visited a few forgotten places. It is absolutely fascinating! 
One of the places we visited was Glasgow Zoo. It was only closed five years ago, but it has been heavily vandalised and there is very little left standing. Even knowing the state the Zoo was in when it was closed, its still very sad to see it in this state. 
Most places don't make me feel quite so sad and return trips with fully charged batteries and tripods are imminent! 

I treated myself to some new baby Tarantulas, they are ever so tiny and cute :) 

Time to study, again :|
