Emma Thompson and 15 years Stuff

I met Emma Thompson this time last week. HAVE I MENTIONED IT? As a result, my desire to be her has grown to sick and disturbing proportions. I have a relationship with Emma Thompson based on admiration and lust, with that pulse accelerating pinch of jealousy that comes from knowing she IS the close gal-pal […]

A potentially uninteresting blog post about Pinterest

I do like myself a social network, it’s cos I don’t like actual human contact see!* I could Facebook, Twitter and Goodreads myself into next week given half a chance.  I am, however, struggling a bit with Pinterest.  Initially I struggled with the name and for weeks my internal monologue kept urging me to sign-up […]

Fifty Shades of “HEY!…..Shut up”

I like to think I’m pretty OK at my job.  Once I’m able to stop crying I think I do an alright job at looking stuff up on the computeoid and then going to the place where it is.  In the last week my skills have taken on an almost God-like power.  I just need […]

Thinking too much

It has oft been said by those that have been gifted by my friendship for many years, and noted by those just commencing their journey with me that I “think too much”. “You think too much…” they will say, as the soggy end of the half dunked biscuit they have left neglected during my diatribe […]

A blog about something serious and personal. Look away now.

Today, in a parallel universe, there is another me getting up with butterflies in her tummy. She is pulling on the biggest pair of pants she can find and the only jeans that now fit her. These are the same jeans she has been wearing every day for about two weeks, she is scared to […]

At 2am on Saturday Night I Discovered I’m Not the World’s Most Narcissitic Woman

…And this is just one of the things the internet is wonderful for.  It is also wonderful, however, at turning us all into self-absorbed lunatics. Social networks are where I go to bore people I love and people I don’t even know with the songs I’ve been listening to this week, or share pictures of […]
