Jimmy Savile

This blog is a pretty personal one, I don’t tend to write about things that don’t directly affect me and I have no reason to say that ITV exposing Jimmy Savile as a paedophile has any relevance to me personally. But I’m pretty upset by it. I was pretty weirded out by how much a … Read More



Do You Celebrate Mabon?

I do. But once again grumpy old pagans are determined to tell me I’m doing it RONG. (Deliberate mis-spelling to indicate flavour of ‘wrongness’ like they do in some quarters of the internet – oh my gods there is no hope for me). When I was looking into paganism during my adolescence I had any … Read More


I Read It

Warning: Not only am I discussing a real nonenity of a book there’s also some bits about my libido in there. All right, so I read it. I pretty much giggled my way through it in the bath last night. Which, in my opinion, makes E.L. James a better author than Stephanie Meyer. I really … Read More


Loving and Hating Things

I don’t think anybody who hasn’t produced something creative gets this. By ‘something creative’ I mean a story, a theatre production (especially a theatre production), an art show. Anything, but there’s that point where you’re convinced that it can’t happen well, that you haven’t put enough of anything into it, there’s that point where your … Read More


Meme

I did a poetic version of this over on LJ, but thought I’d give you the chance to ask me to write something real as well: “Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don’t blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don’t blog about, but … Read More


How Gay Is Gay Enough?

Just in case you weren’t aware of my sexuality I’m bi-sexual, I like the men and I like the women. I’m rubbish with women but I still like them and on the rare occasion I can persuade one to get into bed with me I tend towards being so overawed by the sheer awesome of … Read More


Depression

I feel uncomfortable writing about this, still, I’ve done it before, I’ll do it again but always theres the nagging feeling when I do that I shouldn’t be writing about my mental health, after all I’m not really depressed (I should point out that my doctor’s notes disagree). I do know full well that I … Read More


Tired

My energy levels have always come in waves, but I have usually been one of those incredibly lucky people who just slots in however much stuff needs to be done and got on with it. According to the Jellicle Cat in order to fit in the ammount of work I needed to do plus a … Read More


Aspergers

This entry started as another ‘rargh – nothing is going right, I’m screwing up my life’ entry. I discovered I had Aspergers Syndrome about 6 years ago. This came as something of a shock. Having been taught during my PGCE about working with kids with autism, aspergers and a variety of learning differences I suddenly … Read More
