To my wonderful readers, I started A Chick Named Hermia about two and half years ago, simply wanting something that would encourage me to write regularly. Lol, I had NO idea what I was getting myself...
God, I miss blogging. And talking about myself. And actually having a reason to write. But most of all, I miss YOU LOT! It’s been tough getting through the last few weeks without your support a...
Having some internet issues at the moment (damn you, UPC, you cheating bastards!!! *shakes fist*). It’s a bit frustrating considering I was just starting to get back into the swing of posting a...
Yesterday I bought toilet paper. In the grand scheme of things, it mightn’t seem like something worth reporting, but I felt it was a turning point. It ran out about three weeks ago. For the fir...
I knew during the break-up process that it would be good to be single for a while. I needed some time to try and figure out who Single Me was and if she was different to Relationship Me. Turns out th...
Right, I’m sure you’ve had your fill of diary-esque blogging from me this week, so I’m going to direct you over to Soooali to take a look at my guest post on London. You may also en...
“I genuinely would recommend anyone going through a break-up to go on holiday as soon as they can,” I told a friend the other day. “It’s the best way to clear your head and ma...
“Ok, it’s decided,” I announced to The Bessie, over brioche and cafe au lait at the patisserie down the road from our hotel. I’d been staring at the Arc de Triomphe and sudden...
Sitting in the same area of the same Eddie Rockets that we conducted the first two years of our relationship, I didn’t know what to feel. “So what happened with you two, or am I allowed t...
The 21st of May 2011. We joked wryly about the apocalypse that everyone else laughed so flippantly over. On the inside, on some level, we were believers. Everyone joked as the day ended and they were...
While I’m away (see below), check out my new post on RTE’s Red Radar site. The RTE People said they’d beat me with large crustacians if you don’t all comment on it and praise ...
Hello Folks! Hope you enjoyed the guest posts featured here over the last ten days! Thanks again to the lovely ladies for helping me out! My big move (ie: the reason I took the break) hasn’t ha...
Today’s guest post is by Sinead from Her Style Diaries… Everyone has a happy place. Some of mine are capones down the road that sell the nicest homemade chips and pizza, in any boutique/v...
You guys should look forward to some more entertaining guest posts next week, but to round this first week off nicely, we have the amazing Karin from Karin’s World… Normally I don’t...
Today’s post comes from one seriously lovely bloggy lady, Kitty Cat from red lemonade… According to my good friend T Cup, I have what she refers to as “a big volunteer head” on me. If the...
Next to take on one of the well-known Chick Named Hermia post themes is Sarah from The Licentiate… It should come as no surprise to the people who read my blog that I wasn’t the cool kid at sch...
Emma here from Living Easy Loving Free, delighted to be in for Hermia while she’s on the move. So let me tell you about the time….Robbie Williams almost killed me! Back in the day I was a...
So I’m taking a wee break while I get my life in order and try to find a new place to live. Don’t worry though because some wonderful blogging ladies have volunteered to entertain you in ...
Right now, I feel a little bit like this… …only without ‘getting laid’ being the reason for the happiness.
How do we choose our girl crushes? I had a friend who was obsessed with Alexa Chung. At the time, I was pretty clueless about indie celebs and if they weren’t plastered all over billboards, the...
I’ve spent the morning looking at hundreds of macaron recipes. They look like tough little feckers to make, but I can’t afford to satisfy my cravings at Ladurée anymore ever. Haven’...
So our ‘Moving into our New Home’ plans have been put on hold. It seems the amazing house wasn’t so amazing after all. And came fully equipped with interesting features such as a ur...
I took my first trip to Ikea at the weekend. I’d like to think of it as the day my life truly began.
April Fools Day. My least favourite day of the year. Made even worse by the fact that I work in media monitoring so I’m spending my day questioning whether news and discussions are real or a pi...
I can’t remember the last time I procrastinated this much to avoid writing a post. I don’t think I actually ever have. My thesis holds my Longest Ever Proscrastinationing record, but this...
…and I’m already seventy-billion hours behind my ‘Hours of Sleep Needed to Function’ quota. It’s been damned good fun though.
First of all, I’m REALLY sorry for neglecting all you lovely people who have left comments on the blog over the last week. I pride myself on visiting your blogs when you comment and also return...
I’m currently searching for a new place to live. I get itchy feet if things stay the same for too long and believe me, nearly everything significant in my life has stayed the same for too long....
“It’s all work, it’s never fun. As I mentioned to others: 1% thanks, 9% moans, 90% silence” It was to that tune – sung by the event organiser on Twitter – that we ...
