Dear all First of all if anyone can figure out what the subject title refers to please email me-lets say it is slang for dubliners but why ?? there is i'm sure a prize at the end of it but i am not sure what i hope this finds you all in fine fettle. i am in a rather spiffing mood at the moment. Nothing in particular is going right or more importantly wrong in my life which is rather nice . I never expected my last year of school to be so calm (well after the college apps et all are done dusted and registered) I only really have my mocks to contend with now and then the small matter of the finals but that is another story for another confessional. Perhaps the reason for my overwhelming good mood is the art exhibit I went to the other day in Dublin (which coincidently as a city has grown on me) It was incredible to see so many monets and renoirs and van goghs collected together in the same room in a magnificent gallery. Ahhh heaven Not much else has been going on in my life except I found out what an ampersand is (I in my ignorance actually though it was a missprint whilst reading the belle and sebastian website hee hee was my face red) Also my accomodation is fully booked now in the ould city of paris for a week (can't wait ony another gasp 60 days to go.) Today at school was a complete waste of time educationally speaking as we had 6 frees out of a 9 period day but on the other hand it was really nice becuase i got to know some of my friends a lot better than i ever did before. It is really strange-these are people that i have hung around with since starting secondary school nearly six years ago and it struck me how little i really know about them- sure we spend all lunchtimes together and today was the first time we all really chatted in depth about stuff perhaps because we had the time to do so. I mean i get on very well with each one as they are all really nice and artistic and creative in their own ways which is quite unusual in our area and we tend to keep our selves segregated from everyone else in our year as they are either motorheads or bimbos and not nice people and perhaps normal. I suppose that is really why i like being on this list so much. Nearly 1500 people with different personalities and views but extremly tolerant and incredibly nice and not at all stand offisih (well the vast majority anyway) and not the least bit annoying-makes a nice addition to my inbox after school apart from crappy forwards from people that i know. Hmm i am oddly retrospective at the moment-perhaps that is what the last year at school does to you. It is nice to see B&S touring again and the lucky buggers in sweden and denmark get to see them-i suggest they play Ireland again but that is for purely selfish reasons. Right i am off to finish some english essay then go for coffee with some friends and perhaps the flicks bonne nuit jonathan +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
