So, I’m a woman who has had something of a sex life (insert appreciative sound here eg. phoar/and how!/woohoo!/get some! etc.etc.) and has been fairly obsessive over the years with contraception. Back when I went into my doctors aged fourteen with incredibly painful periods I got put on the pill and after changing pills a … Read More

So, first I thought I was going to write about how thoroughly annoyed all the stuff with William Hague has made me. Then I half heard a guy spouting off on Radio Four this morning about how the internet has made us all incapable of deep thoughts. Unfortunately I had to turn off before I … Read More

I doubt this will interest many people but I’ve had enough questions and conversations that I thought it warranted a blog post. Often when I write I just dash something off. I don’t write about people and events mostly (contrary to popular opinon), what I usually write about is feelings and emotions. Certainly events and … Read More

This entry is bitty as all hell, reflected my state of mind because it’s next week that I’m off to Peru. A brand new week and I am incredibly excited. I know it’s only for three weeks (yes, in an ideal world, especially given that I have no job to come back to, we’d be … Read More

Now me, I actively want to tell the world everything about myself. I don’t care for being judged, although I know that that’s … Read More

The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them … Read More

Ever since I can remember I have wanted to be a writer. Most people who read this blog know this and it’s one of the reasons my poetry pops up on Livejournal on a semi-regular basis. I have got close over the years because, whilst I am happy writing, and can’t imagine a life not … Read More

I have had a very EPIC weekend…well that seems to be the term used in any case though I’m sure any pedants still reading this blog will argue the toss with me. In anycase, I went to see Rage Against the Machine at their free gig in London yesterday. I had a brilliant time, it’s … Read More
