So, I’ve redecorated (it feels so pretentious to say that when all I did was change the blog theme and tag line, but I don’t think there’s another word). I fancied something a bit cleaner, with less clutter. I’ve been clearing out real life belongings, too; I’ve noticed that the inside of my head is […]

A Bullet-Point Decade
Inspired by Maggie Steifvater, I have compiled an out-of-order list of things that have happened to me this decade. I’m going out later so I’ll probably get emotionally introspective initially while I’m washing my hair and then while I’m varying degrees of tipsy; I think a list is good for stating unequivocally that things happened, […]
An early new year’s resolution ft. mental health and mobile phones
I feel a bit dumb even writing this post, but it’s about something that we should probably talk about more: I have hair on my toes. Kidding, although I do (hoping it might thin out as I age, though). What I want to talk about today is the fact that yesterday evening, I switched off […]
In which my attitude to this election is the word ‘fuck’ whispered softly while cradling a strong alcoholic beverage
I didn’t think this election was bothering me until this evening, when I picked up a box of Heroes I bought to take to work tomorrow and ate half of them while I was watching the news. So it’s possibly time to admit I’m experiencing internal conflict. (I’m also really annoyed I’m furring up my […]
In Which I Have Been Blogging Ten (10!) Actual Years

I’ve thought about writing something long and heartfelt, or doing a big old retrospective where I comb through old posts ripping the shit out […]
This is a story about tarot decks and YA novels.
This evening I bought two sets of tarot cards. Officially it’s because I’m going to a Halloween party at the weekend. Unofficially, I feel really guilty about a small amount of book piracy in 2015. Officially, I need tarot cards for my costume. I don’t, really, but the dress and shawl I bought in a […]
Royal Wedding Retrospective
So I was watching the Royal Wedding earlier and thinking about how much has changed since William and Kate got married (please come back, Obama) and I was sure I wrote a blog post that day. It turns out I did, but I’m not link it to you because my writing style back then made […]
I Took a 2 Week Break from Instagram. Here’s What Happened.
Spoiler alert: I got loads done. Soooo a couple of weeks ago I wrote about how fed up I’ve become with Instagram and why I wanted to take a little break. I turned it into a mini protest against Insta’s crappy algorithm, because why not, and I took a solid 2 weeks off from the […]
