Today marks the 27th anniversary of the day I was born, a day my mother’s life became considerably more awesome. As a child I was a complete primadonna, scared of getting muddy, refusing to eat...
“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colours. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you...
Loss. It’s a funny way of describing death; drawing your mind to misplacing something, like keys or your wallet. It seems such a flippant comment for something that hits you when you are least...
Whether tall or short, skinny or fat, male or female, every human being has one horrible thing in common. The gym. Its affected all of us in some way, at one point or another. Those rushed mornings...
I’m suffering from an affliction. I feel sleepy in the day, I can’t concentrate and my eyelids need propping open with tiny little matchsticks to get through even the simplest of tasks. I haven’t...
Sometimes being a girl is hard. You see all the celebrities doing it successfully, with their teeny tiny little stiletto heels and their perfectly solid fringes, and you look in the mirror and...
I know. I’ve been missing, presumed dead. You’ve assumed that I fell down the stairs and no one noticed didn’t you? You have visions of me being eaten by Alsatians, Bridget Jones style. Actually,...
I mean it. F*!@ng cross. I hate shopping. I know we have discussed this before, but I feel the need to cover old ground with this one. I HATE SHOPPING. It comes at you with alarming force (and for...
When I heard that the Spice Girls musical was being made, I was excited. Not the quiet, adult excited that most 26 year olds display, but the running to my friend Fi and proclaiming that we...
Call me a hippie, but I believe in karma. Like the song by Culture Club, Karma Chameleon ( which as a child I used to think was “come here come here come here chameleon”) it comes and goes. I don’t...
There are some works that invoke a though upon contact with the brain, and these return an image, an ideal or a concept. They shape in your brain before you have had time to think, like swirls of...
Ive been in California for 2 weeks now, 2 fun weeks of skiing (in a manner of speaking) smiling and shopping. The latter 2 are my favourite. But I have also had a lot of time to reflect, and come...
At 26 (i’m still 26, goddamit!) I have never been skiing. Its not something that ever appealed to me; I’m more of a bikini on the beach girl as opposed to having to put on all the clothes I own for...
Its the first of January, and that time of year when we make resolutions and vow to stick to them for the rest of the year. We promise to ourselves that we will try harder to stick to diets, the...
Theres something about London; there is always something fun and exciting to do and you can turn a corner and find the unexpected. This week I have had the chance to be a part of two really cool...
There are some things in life that you can let pass you by, that irritate you slightly, make the hairs on the back of your neck start to tingle, but that you will let pass like pooh sticks in a...
This weekend saw the birthday of my friend Lauren, and since I didn’t have a clue what to buy her, I thought I would make a cake. Let me give you some background. I used to be pretty bad at cakes....
Boobs. Tits. Honkers. Norks… Anyone got any more? No, I haven’t developed Tourettes (although the thought of walking down the High Street shouting all the names I can think of for boobs is pretty...
Imagine a boy, not much older than fifteen, sitting in the cold in a field that he doesn’t know, a terrain he doesn’t recognise. Imagine him feeling like he just cant get warm; the dampness making...
Dream boards and mood boards have always been things that I have kept around me for inspiration, and to re,ind me that I am driven, and what I am working towards. As a child my mood boards were...
So the US elections are over, and, as far as I am concerned, good triumphed. I have remained (surprisingly) tight lipped through the elections, but if you have read my blog before I’m sure you can...
black & white new york city skyline – a photo on Flickriver (clipped to polyvore.com)
It’s a rare occurrence, but this weekend was mine and mine alone. No nearly penned scribbles in the diary, no vague plans with the girls carried away into the air when we previously parted –...
I have an illness. Some days, weeks and months, it’s not a big thing. It’s not who I am and I exist in uneasy silence with it while it sleeps, waiting in the hope that its feeling tired and not...
At first cock-crow the ghosts must go Back to their quiet graves below. ~Theodosia Garrison Are you sitting comfortably, my dear? Let me tell you a story, of horror and fear…. I’m a bit of a wimp....
As much as I hate to admit it, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. The nights are drawing in and the weather is starting to chill, and the fireworks going off in the distance most nights...
Clichés and turns of phrases are things that are abundant in life. Ever heard your grandmother tell you “there are plenty more fish in the sea”? Or someone say “in for a penny, in for a pound?”...
At school, I was a total teachers pet. I did all the extra reading, I turned my papers in before they were due and I absorbed every last bit of information, like a sponge, lusting for advice on how...
I regularly skim through blog stats to see how people are finding my blog, and every now and again my eye rests on a particularly weird one. Sure, I talk about a lot of random things, but I am...
It’s a well known fact that (among a whole list of others) I have two failings. 1) Itchy feet and wanderlust 2) Impulsiveness The former makes me sit at my desk and wonder about where in the world...
My transition from Lousiana to Los Angeles... for comedy. Here you will find short, easy to read...
Now with more typos.
