I can’t actually feel my own bottom, I’ve been sitting on my bed for so long, But I have won NaNoWriMo! It’s a really nice feeling, particularly bearing in mind the last month or so and how it’s been. Talking of which, I owe this blog a VERY long entry, because I’m getting insanely behind, …

Grumpy Girl Auto Bird Turd Emergency Kit
Serious and wordy post coming soon, but in the meantime I leave you with the delightfully frivolous Grumpy Girl Auto Bird Turd Emergency Kit. I also love the idea that a paramedic might grab one of these in some kind of medical emergency, only to find that in contains many items designed to remove bird …
Queen of long blog posts
Yesterday was interesting! Finally, after sooooooo many months, the launch of justgraham.co.uk finally rolled around My friends and I had decided to start the site together, and Graham Norton has been kind enough to contribute stuff for it as well. We hope in the future he might give us a few longer interviews, fingers crossed. …
It’s long, it’s about relationships and FEELINGS. Are you ready?
There are posts I would have avoided making before, or which I would have toned down to the point at which they were tiny, struggling ants of truth making their way out of the massive ant hill of reality. And clearly I have been writing badly for so long that horrible metaphors are becoming part …
Edinburgh, you lovely thing you…
Well I’m home now, after a really lovely trip to Edinburgh in Scotland. Relationship-wise, it could have been a little more confortable, but the city kept distracting me from that. I seriously fell head over heels in love with the place, the kind of love that you know is real because it catches you by …
Just a general update
I broke the 20,000 mark today on my novel, which feels great! I wrote over 4,000 words today alone, but wasn’t expecting it to be easy. I think that’s because I allowed my characters to take over completely, resulting in a (second) massive fire and then a rather sweet scene where my MC gets to …
Elusive
Sometimes a song will play that transfixes you. Leaves you stunned, incoherent, your cheek pressed against the speakers as you attempt to climb into the song. That happened to me today on myspace, as I idly clicked on the friend of a friend who isn’t really a friend but someone I met on a depressing …
Acapella farm animals
Who on earth did it take me so long to find this website? It’s the best thing I’ve ever discovered online… If you like music, singing acapella, farm animals or funny cartoons you really need to take a look at it. You can CONTROL them! Hours of fun.
Me? Oh I’m just waiting for the moment in my life when I WILL be devoured by Alsatiens.
I’m going to die old and alone, half eaten by Alsatians aren’t I? I know this with absolute clarity, so I may as well start having as much fun as possible from this moment onwards. Starting with painting my nails a bright shocking pink. The badge of an Alsatian eatee-to-be.
Mess (or lack of it)
‘Your room looks tidy’ my mum said just now, when she came in. ‘have you tidied up?’ I looked around. ‘Not really – I just haven’t had any time to make mess lately’ I replied. Hahaha. And oh so true. My word count for NaNoWriMo is looking very respectable though. Which is nice…
