i remember 2 months ago when i was in the nursery and reading all the posts was just the nicest thing. i;d read when i came home from school during the commercials on tv. but ever since i gained a voice things have stopped being so lively, not just because of alleged 'whining' but also a level of cruel snarkyness as well. frankly i'd prefer a middle path. but i'm not merely writing another post _about_ list angst, i propose to solve things. i think any evidence to suggest there is a direct causal link between my gaining a voice and the list becoming a mean place are only strengthened by: my being a leap-year birth and my being an only child the planets and chicken entrials all point to one thing, THE LIST GOD IS ANGRY! and so, we must placate it with a good old fashioned, biblical, family values style burnt offering! so, unless anyone gives me a good reason not to, i shall throw myself onto a burning pyre in my creepy back yard as soon as the weekend allows me to take a break from school. i hope you will all speak of my great sacrifice in appropriately revernt tones after i;m gone. sk ps, i also found out that cathy penguin is in my linguistics class, which is nice since it makes all my friends oh so jealous. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
