The year was 1999. The threat of Y2K hung large in the air. Ross and Rachel got drunk and married in Las Vegas. The Blair Witch Project terrified audiences across the globe. And in the background, blaring out of every major radio station, Alice Deejay asked us: "Do you think you're better off alone?" Now, … Continue reading The Alice Deejay Conundrum
“Don’t Talk To Me About Love” Round 2
Just like the prodigal son, I've returned. After almost a year away from blogging, I thought I better give the ole girl an update. Mainly because I've been sending my CV out with links to the website, and an out of date website is not a good look. But you know what is a good … Continue reading “Don’t Talk To Me About Love” Round 2

Holla! It's been a while, eh? It turns out that a global pandemic and multiple lockdowns, coupled with being skint, spending the majority of time completely alone and the uncertainty of future job prospects, can really put a dampner on your mood! Who'd of thought it! But here I am, back in the spirit, writing … Continue reading Dick Picinngton
I’m so good at therapy
I have been back in therapy for five weeks now, and once again, I'm bloody nailing it. I am Da Best at therapy. I've been struggling with the ole BPD a lot recently.

Thanks … Continue reading Februromantary
Grief
On Sunday 19th January 2020, my oldest sister Lavasa passed away. She was 49. It was out of the blue and came as quite a shock.

Feelings
Good news everyone- yer gurl is getting feelings again. I am no longer an emotionless robot. It is terrifying. One of my favourite quotes is from Chuck Palahniuk's book "Choke": "Love is bullshit. Emotion is bullshit. I am a rock. A jerk. I'm an uncaring asshole and proud of it. What would Jesus not do?" … Continue reading Feelings
A Sad Day
Today is a sad day. A day of distraught. Of tears. Of loss. A day filled with misery, ending with crippling loneliness and despair. For today is the day that I am not allowed to watch EastEnders. And I am heartbroken. I recently started my masters in TV Fiction Writing because I am so smart … Continue reading A Sad Day
