"Oh, angel, don't take those sleeping pills,
you don't need them
though it's just time they kill."
22.5.2000
I haven't been able to update for almost two days now. I don't know what's wrong with it. I don't feel like finding out.
I'd like to write about the suede.co.uk message board. Well, if I don't, no one else will. It's been down for three years. Three fucking years. I came to think of it the other day. I still remember some of the main posters. Javier, Toby, Matthias, Yolanda, Maggie, G. Cohen... I still remember where they were from and what they did, what they said. Perhaps it shows how important it was for me for those few months the whole board existed.
I think it literally kept me alive for a while. I wasn't into newsgroups at that time, not much anyway. It was the first year of sixth form. I was so happy to get out of the elementary.
I don't know what happened to any one of them when the message board was gotten rid of. The whole site was still down when I visited it the last time. There are other places now, thelondonsuede.com and such, but I never really read the message board there. I never got attached to it the same way.
I still miss the place.
It's no good. I have nothing useful to say.
