Dear Alice, (About Those Free School Lunches)

May 19, 2017October 2, 2019 notsosexinthecity4 Comments

Hey, how are you today? I saw a little Twitter debate earlier on, and I really wanted to jump in and get myself involved. I knew, however, that a Twitter spat wouldn’t solve this particular dilemma. Fighting with people in 100 characters or less doesn’t educate them, or show them another side of the debate. All it does is make those with a certain opinion stand even more firmly in their ways and shout a bit louder. I want what I have to say to make an impact. I’m a…

A Man Told Me to Kill Myself Today

May 15, 2017October 2, 2019 notsosexinthecity2 Comments

Content Warning: Discussing suicide. Yep, you did read that right. A man who I’d never met – some random dude on the internet – told me to kill myself. You probably won’t find that funny, but as I sit here with the #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek blog I forgot to post, and also my rebuttal to #13ReasonsWhy, I did find it funny. Perfect timing! I have been feeling SHIT recently. Nothing has been wrong. My relationship has been fine. I’m not lacking in confidence, despite putting on a couple of pounds (and then…

Joint Facebook Accounts

April 23, 2017December 26, 2019 notsosexinthecity3 Comments

Joint Facebook accounts. Let’s just talk about those for a second, shall we? I seem to find that more and more couples are opting for a joint social media presence these days but I’m having a hard time coming up with reasons why someone would think this was a good idea. I can think of a hundred and one reasons why it would be a bad idea, though. Let’s start with some of those. There was that one couple I commented on, on Twitter a while back. From the Insta-rants,…

Rudeness.

April 18, 2017October 11, 2019 notsosexinthecity

Rudeness … I can’t stand it. I hate it when people are rude to me because I don’t think I’m rude to anyone at all. I say nice things to people who serve me in shops, always wishing them a great day, please, thank you, all the rest of it. I tip people, even those who don’t deserve to be tipped. I smile at people because I like it when people smile at me. You could say that I live in my own little world, my own happy little bubble.…

The Day That Nana Forgot

March 19, 2017October 12, 2019 notsosexinthecity1 Comment

It’s taken me a while to post this and I’m not really sure why. I think I’m detached. Feeling guilty, perhaps? Or maybe just sad. I don’t know. Maybe I’m scared I’ll be judged for being a heartless granddaughter in the face of dementia? “Things were all good yesterday, then the devil took your memory, and if you fell to your death today, I hope that heaven is your resting place … “ ***** I went to a funeral today. It was my Nana’s funeral and it was truly awful.…

I Think … (Young Love)

March 4, 2017October 12, 2019 notsosexinthecity2 Comments

I’ve developed a new hobby: judging Bear’s clients, and when I tell you that some of them are about as exciting as lettuce, that’s probably giving them too much credit. For the record, the only time I like lettuce is when it’s in a chicken caesar salad and it’s all dressed up with bacon, croutons, and parmesan cheese. Please and thank you very much. Today there were two couples, one after the other. The first client was a tall and thin lad with more hair than should ever be allowed…

Family … (Abandoned)

March 2, 2017October 12, 2019 notsosexinthecity1 Comment

Following on from Family … (Absent) So … yeah. My absent aunt got in touch. I feel like I should give you some background to our weird and strained relationship now. Ugh, where do I start? For my entire life, my mother and my nan (mum’s mum) have told me that I am the spitting image of my aunt. I was kinda named after her, and after seeing recent pictures of her (stalking on Facebook), even I can see the striking resemblance. There’s definitely no paternity test needed here, that’s for…

Family … (Absent)

March 1, 2017October 12, 2019 notsosexinthecity

I try not to talk about family too much on this blog. I don’t really know why. I have quite a difficult time with my family, mostly because it’s complicated, confusing, and usually drama-filled. People are always falling out and one thing I learned from a very early point is that when I say bad things about my famalam, it generally ALWAYS comes around and bites me in the ass. The people that fall out then make up again, and then everything I said about them mysteriously finds its way…

Double Dating is Shit

February 18, 2017October 17, 2019 notsosexinthecity

I need to have a rant, peeps. A real rant, not an irrational one this time. A real-life angry rant. A very rational and deserved one. Last night, Bear and I went to a friend’s house. I’ve spoken about her a few times, she’s my main GF. The big BFF. I’ve known her and her husband for five years, maybe even a bit longer than that, and from the beginning, I’ve known that her husband was a bit of a volatile character. I’ve never had any dealings with that side…

Dear Ewan, Thanks, But …

January 25, 2017 notsosexinthecity1 Comment

I would imagine I’m going to get ripped a new butt-hole for this, but hey-ho. I’ll get right to the point. When Ewan McGregor refused to go on GMB [Good Morning Britain] because Piers Morgan was the host, I was a little pissed off. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not judging you, Ewan babe, but I’m a little disappointed. I don’t know you, I don’t know your story, and I don’t know your personal reasons for making your TV decision, but I do know that a little part of my…
