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 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 as … Continue reading THE BARCA-LONER
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 radio … Continue reading THE IN-BETWEEN
OH, HI! What a week it has been. You know when you are so tired you feel like your eyes are only a few seconds away from falling out? It would be very dramatic for me to say that that was how I was feeling BUT I AM IN A DRAMATIC MOOD SO I AM … Continue reading HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SELF-CONFIDENCE: ANOTHER FLAWED GUIDE

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 a … Continue reading LEAVING THE SHED
HELLO FRIENDS! Acquaintances and enemies welcome too, I guess. I am writing this on Friday the 13th, a day that is supposed to be ~slightly scary~ for reasons I'm unsure of. Perhaps I will Google it when I finish this blog post, PERHAPS I WON'T. Such is the kooky spooky nature of this sacred day. … Continue reading HOW TO BE ASSERTIVE: A FLAWED GUIDE BY YOURS TRULY
"But I look horrible!" We went for a walk on Sunday. We got in the car, drove to a nearby bit of countryside, and did some exploring. I will be honest with you and say I had a BLAST - I inhaled some fresh air, I ran along a muddy path like a five year-old … Continue reading Things to remember while you’re getting dressed
The other day, I was running down the stairs at work and my shoe fell off. Like, one second it was there, the next I had walked out of it and left it on a step. I won’t lie to you: it was quite an embarrassing time for me, partly because I did an alarmed … Continue reading TAKING LIFE ADVICE FROM A SNAIL
Last night I went to an event in London. I finished work, drove to the train station and jumped on a train, spent just over two hours in the capital and then came straight home again. On the journey there, I ate too many breadsticks and felt a bit sick, then thought a Milky Way … Continue reading The terrifying art of self-belief
What were your favourite parts of being 14? I myself enjoyed Monday nights, because that was when my friends and I hit up the local youth club. The adults who ran it had painstakingly graffitied the walls, because kids love graffiti, and from 7-9pm every Monday I would sit on bean bags and talk about … Continue reading HOW TO BE A POPULAR GIRL IN 2004
