I hate being ill, really hate it, and because of that I probably make it ten times worse. What I should have done, feeling sniffly and icky on Saturday night, is curled up in bed…or popped my head around The Cult’s housewarming and then popped back. (Did you notice that FJ, M-i-L, The Goat and … Read More

I am not unemployed. This is beginning to annoy me. I do not have much work. Or indeed any this month apparently. I am not looking for a permanent job right now because I am writing and doing temporary work. I am not unemployed. I am freelance, currently I admit, this means that I’m existing … Read More

I went to a family christening at the weekend, I wasn’t looking forward to it. The Proper Girl is quite exact when it comes to style (she did do a fashion degree and she’s one of these girls who are just tidy, and neat and do pretty-pretty very easily). I’m not a big fan of … Read More

Some thoughts about what I’m wearing and if that should affect how you interact with me: If I’m wearing an obscenely small skirt then I don’t really care if you don’t look but I kind of like it when you do. If I wear a corset that makes my boobs seem huge and then walk … Read More

So, I’m not the most conventional person in the world but I take a certain amount of pride in my sense of responsibility. However, unconventional people are not supposed to be responsible or have a work ethic or many of the other things I believe myself to have and people find it much easier to … Read More

I have been intending on writing a blog about how good it felt to ref Cluedothulhu on Saturday. It was relaxed but well put together and it ran pretty well. I still think this, except that because I didn’t check on what was written on the signs warning people about the ‘Live Performance in Progress’ … Read More

So I woke up again today, actually feeling like I’d had a goodnight’s sleep for the first time in a while. Also, no nightmares! I think…but then I thought that yesterday too. I made a pot of coffee and found myself flinching when I turned the kettle on – no memory of a nightmare you … Read More

One thing I have to admire about my mind is it;s tenacity when it comes to freaking me out. This morning I couldn’t get out of bed, again, but when The Jellicle asked if I’d had nightmares I happily responded that I hadn’t. It was obvious to me that I had slept badly, which I … Read More

I used to, for the longest time have nightmares, then I became determined, around age sixteen that I wouldn’t anymore, for a while I had annual nightmares somewhere between January and March that lasted around a week or a fortnight. They were pretty bad, involving running/clambering over scaffolding and down pathways and pathways been chased … Read More
