Welcome to DRIVEL, your not-so-friendly neighborhood zine. DRIVEL is a forum for ranting about all the superficial bullshit that keeps you up at night; y'know, the real issues: obsessive crushes, cool clothes, and venomous spite.

This zine has evolved into a cesspool of morbidity and vengence since the demise of my relationship with my shithead ex-boyfriend. All I can write about is how much I hate him, and what the breakup did to me. I shouldn't dwell on his tired ass, because I have a new, wonderful guy in my life, but I can't help it. It's therapeutic to discuss my disgust. Maybe you can relate. For your sake, I hope you can't.

THIS ISSUE PROMISES TO CONTAIN EVEN MORE EARTH SHATTERING REVELATIONS ABOUT LOVE, LIFE, AND THE LACK THEREOF!

Please extend a warm round of applause to our first contributing writer, Charlotte Kington.

DRIVEL is based out of Knoxville, TN, and has been in existence since '95. This is the first on-line issue. It sure is a HELL of a lot cheaper than running off hundreds of copies at the local Kinko's. Unfortunately, these graphics are kind-of lame. Not that the paper version is a work of art or anything.
