So… My Pops got married at the weekend and it was a very lovely day. Everyone turned up, vows were said, kisses and rings were exchanged, all very lovely. Lovely, lovely, lovely. They did the marriage thing, we stopped for photos, and then we all sat down to listen to speeches and begin the meal. All very wedding-y, nothing out of the ordinary so far. His new wife’s daughter is having a baby. Five or six weeks pregnant, far too early to be announcing that shit to seventy of your…

So… I’ve been doing some research into that whole ‘Project: Love Thyself’ I keep banging on about. I’m determined to do this, not just halfway but the whole way. I can’t keep falling in love with inappropriate men and making bad decisions. Anyway, one of the things I read in my research of how to fall in love with yourself was that you should write a list of all the things you already love about yourself. All those things you actually don’t mind or wouldn’t want to change. How hard…

I’ve tried to avoid my laptop today because I’m feeling a tad on the fragile side but I’m starting to get a little angry about this Twitter scandal I’ve accidentally found myself in. There appears to be this torrent of hatred towards me and the blog post I wrote which is fair enough, but stuff has started to get personal now.

I checked out the blog of the first chick who commented and…

I don’t normally pay attention to these things but I came across this #30DayWritingChallenge and I figured I would give it a shot. Things have been so very depressing lately. Surely anything to lighten the mood is just going to be a great idea? Plus, I’m all about Project: Love Thyself right now. Let’s see if it works… Day 1: List 10 things that make you really happy.    I had to think about this for a while before I could start writing things down which is quite ironic seeing as…

Today I’ve got the right hump. I’ve mentioned the Lesser-Spotted Lethario a few times in my blog, and the many women he parades through our house. Well, apparently he’s not just an asshole to the girls he dates. He’s an asshole in general. (See – Don’t Be A Crazy Girl) I live with three other guys in a big house. One of the guys is Bestie, one is this Lethario character (with his string of women), and one is a sorta average kinda guy with his girlfriend, who I actually…
