Hope auntsadie gets to blow out the candles on the buka-cake. I have some claims to fame btw: Earlier this month I saw allycook96 and also carsmilesteve! It was pretty amazing as I hugged them both, and they both have list crush votes! I bet I was making someone jealous. It was in Embra it was. I was watching MOON HORSE VS THE MARS MEN OF JUPITER. It was amazing. I just looked on the crush list top 5 and I wonder where they all are now. I had sex with one of them you know.. oh, those were the days. Had to really clean my hand afterwards. That was my second claim to fame. Third claim to fame: Some people deemed these posts of mine back in 2001 so good: http://www.missprint.org/archives/html/sinister/2001-03/msg00112.html http://www.missprint.org/archives/html/sinister/2001-03/msg00113.html http://www.missprint.org/archives/html/sinister/2001-03/msg00114.html That they made a parody of it to talk about Arsene Wenger on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDBLSUKJiDY Also Laura Llew wrote a reply to me here http://www.missprint.org/archives/html/sinister/2001-03/msg00120.html She is TOP LIST CRUSH you know (#4 claim) That was my one-kenneth, two-penneth worth of boast world.

It revolves around going to the cinema with one-time Sinister member Hannah Brown on a Tuesday afternoon before our university terms started. It's a low-rise story, one with no relatives involved, no insight or observation that wasn't shared by everyone else watching on television. But even the most unremarkable things remain vivid when set against remarkable ones; ten years on I remember it all. However, in the inevitable "what were you doing on 9/11" conversations that I've had in the past week, one remarkable thing that I've mentioned more than once is you, Sinister. I've tried to explain to my friends that back in 2001, years before the social web or citizen journalism, when the idea of web communities or having a blog was a niche pursuit, Sinister that day showed me why being on the internet wasn't just for chatting about a favourite band. The list's reaction to the attacks made everything a little more normal and a little less despondent; it covered every emotion with warmth, intelligence and compassion, and its response and activity that day is just as indelliably inked on my brain as the footage second plane going in. Ken's post from the other week mentioned quite a few archive posts, and his links reminded me what an important part Sinister played in my life for about five years. I know it's shrunk down to almost nothing now, but I'm glad it's still here, somehow. Have a look at the archives for that September ten years ago: http://www.missprint.org/archives/html/sinister/2001-09/index.html - it's a fascinating document, today in particular.
