I just found an article on the BBC website about a homeless woman living in her car (and blogging about it) who suddenly got a book deal. My heart soared! Then I had a look at her blog and was blown away by the quality of the writing. Totally blown away. She has a real …

Hahaha
Last night I went to see Strictly Dance Fever with friends, it was really good and I’ll write a proper post all about it soon. (We also somehow managed to crash the after party of friends and family of the dancers! The first and I fear last time I will ever gain access to an …
The end is nigh!
I found a really funny flash animation about the end of the world, it even has it’s own website! Now personally I think the world will end very soon, but I feel I might be alone on that one. So while I’m making the most of my last days on the planet, you can watch …
A hooting redesign! What were you thinking?!
As Owly waits tensely but expectantly inside his envelope, I thought I’d give the site a bit of a makeover. This theme seems to suit him quite a lot more, and I love the font. But any comments are welcome. I wish wordpress.com would allow users to customize the templates though! It seems backward and …
One way ticket
I feel as though I’m living in a never-ending version of the film Ghost World. Without the bit at the end where she goes off and takes a bus to goodness knows where, and is (presumably) happy. Or at least happier. The adverts on TV are banal, people I see around me seem obessed with …
Some news and favourite things
Ooops, I’ve not posted anything ‘proper’ here for a bit. The main news, I got 71% and some lovely feedback on my second assignment for my Creative Writing course, turned down the place at a community in America… and decided I want to go and live at the Findhorn intentional community in Scotland. All things …

You’ve travelled this long You just have to go on Don’t even look back to see How far you’ve come Though your body is bending Under the load There is nowhere to stop Anywhere on this road My heart is breaking I cannot sleep I love a man Who’s afraid of me He believes if …
Oh all right…
… I couldn’t resist it, I missed my old theme too much. David had a good point when he said it suits me – I just feel comfy using this one. BUT… I do want to nab the header pictures from the other one, I loved them! Especially the blue-ish colours. I just need to …
One owl, a microphone and a broadcasting license
I have to confess, I didn’t go with Owly to the radio station – I left him in the very capable hands of the WCR Radio Team. (wcr1350.co.uk) I haven’t heard how it worked; I gather the presenter did most of the talking… (I still haven’t gotten my camera back so I haven’t been able …
Hear the rain roar
It’s twenty to nine in the evening and still half light, and outside the rain pours and pours. Placebos ‘I’ll be yours’ plays on my speakers, and the glass of the window is cold on my forehead as I peer out. This moment should be forever.
