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
