Love? Life? Joy!
So the other day I woke up hungover to shit and barely remembering my walk home. I called my friend to reminisce about last night’s frolicking and he kindly informed me of a dramatic monologue I’d indulged in. ‘You told me all about your dead cat.’ He said, ‘You even cried at one point!’ ‘Oh dear Lord.’ Thought I, as the...

Last week, at around 7pm, one of my most fears came true. I was cycling home, it was dark and raining hard. I managed to slip on the road and before I knew it I was hurtling through the air and into a fence. It was one of those moments where time seems to slow and yet you have no...

I’ve always been a fan of October. Autumn has always resonates a certain sense of excitement in me. I look forward to it all through the sweltering (and often rainy) summer: the cold crisp mornings, the warm colours of the trees. It always seems a time to look forward, to make changes, to start a new. I imagine this feeling... Read the rest of this post...

I’ve been asked this question quite a lot recently: Are you religious? And I never know what to say. It’s hard to answer. It’s usually someone creating a sort of safety net so as not to offend as they parallel religion with a form of mental illness. I mean, by Christian standards, I was always pretty liberal. I’m not an... Read the rest of this post...

So I watched Thelma and Louise for the first time the other day. I already knew it was a big hit, having won a huge critical acclaim. I even remembered it being referenced in the past was a parody episode of The Simpsons when Marge goes on a similar journey with next-door neighbour Ruth. (Image via) And of course the...

A few months ago, a friend and I both got jobs that required us to dress in the usual ‘office attire’. Having been students all our live long lives, we decided now was the time to invest in some new clothes: exciting, right? Let’s go shopping!

I’m currently sat in my bed. I’ve just got back from work and I’m thinking about the article I’m going to write. I’m feeling pretty tired and before I know it I’m reaching under my duvet and pulling out Hotty. Hotty is what is defined as a ‘comfort toy’: a toy (though it’s not always such) that we become attached... Read the rest of this post...

I’ve been employed full time (albeit in various places) for about 5 months now. After working full time in a bar all I wanted was to work 9-5, every week-day and have my evenings and weekends free. And don’t get me wrong – it’s good: I have two days to myself, to do whatever I want and I know all... Read the rest of this post...

So I’m real poor at the moment. Like, I thought I was poor last year… I wasn’t. A few months in London drained me of a good £4000. High rent, travel expenses and a kitchen I couldn’t cook in (so always had to buy food in) meant I was spending all the money I was earning – and then some.... Read the rest of this post...

Thursday morning, America lost one of its treasures. The voice of Maya Angelou has been the song of hope for so many women and men throughout a socially and economically turbulent century that saw changes no one thought possible. Now, at the end of her life, we all remember how one woman survived rape, teenage pregnancy, countless occupations, and constant... Read the rest of this post...
