About a year ago, I told you all that I was living in a shed. THINGS ARE TERRIBLE! I said. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. I find pleasure in nothing — only dramatic and ill-considered break-up metaphors I am likely to cringe at in twelve months’ time. AND HERE WE ARE!! A full three-hundred-and-something-something days after…… cringin’ hard.Continue reading “MOVEMENT + REPOSE”

THE BARCA-LONER
THE RUMOURS ARE TRUE: I AM A FAN OF MY OWN COMPANY. Not wanting to blow my own trumpet or anything but…… here we are. Toot toot. Really, though. I make myself laugh. I give A+ pep talks to the mirror. I write good stuff sometimes and then sit there clutching my own arms asContinue reading “THE BARCA-LONER”
THE IN-BETWEEN
Sometimes all you can do is put your Madonna playlist on and try your damn best. Which is your favourite Madonna song? Mine is Don’t Tell Me but I am also a big fan of Ray of Light, because I mean who isn’t. I genuinely remember hearing it for the first time on the radioContinue reading “THE IN-BETWEEN”
LEAVING THE SHED
I don’t live there anymore. The shed, I mean. There is a chance that I will go back to visit from time to time, not because I want to but because Things Happen and Life Is Unpredictable and that is just the way it goes. Working late makes me happy. Finishing early sometimes on aContinue reading “LEAVING THE SHED”
TALKING, QUIETLY
Sometimes life is hard, and at the moment I am waiting it out. I am waiting it out in a old, rickety shed on a beach somewhere. This is where I live, for now, and it rains a lot of the time. Some days I don’t mind the rain – I put a bucket orContinue reading “TALKING, QUIETLY”
MR. TIGGS THE CAT
HELLO FRIENDS. A while back I said I might write about my cat, but the other day I realised I have not mentioned him, as of yet. I feel like it is important to tell you that this cat isn’t actually alive anymore, and I don’t mean that in a morbid way but really becauseContinue reading “MR. TIGGS THE CAT”
STILL ILL, SAY CHEESE
Today I have no energy to do anything, largely because I keep sniffing and sneezing and my back aches and I’m just really Not Very Well. I’ve done that thing where you keep using the same tissue for hours on end in an ‘am I lazy or just the least wasteful person ever’ kind ofContinue reading “STILL ILL, SAY CHEESE”
An analysis of Marissa Cooper
Most people watched The OC between the years of 2003 and 2007, and then moved on. They enjoyed the series and CONTINUED WITH LIFE, satisfied in the knowledge that Summer was off to save the world, Ryan was “hey kid, you need any help??“-ing like a champ and Seth was pretty happy being Seth. AndContinue reading “An analysis of Marissa Cooper”
How to deal with an adult tonsillectomy
About to have your tonsils removed? Considering it? Sitting at home post-op with a mouthful of ice and a deathwish? I had a tonsillectomy at the start of July and am now about 80 per cent recovered, which means I can actually get out of bed and write and think and I don’t have toContinue reading “How to deal with an adult tonsillectomy”
A non-exhaustive list of times The OC was the best show to ever exist
Ask most people my age about their memories of 2003 and they’ll recall a year spent learning the words to Ignition by R. Kelly and deciding which text messages to delete to free up space on their Nokia 3310. But for me, that year mostly involved crying over Seth + Summer, wondering whether Caleb wasContinue reading “A non-exhaustive list of times The OC was the best show to ever exist”
