Be Sociable, Share! Tweet For perhaps the first time in my life, I have zero desire to write about my feelings, or post them on the internet. I also have zero desire to go to class, or leave my flat, or leave my bed. If I’m so scared of writing blogs, why am I writing…
The Hardest Story To Tell
Be Sociable, Share! Tweet I write novels about angry women. I write about women who start revolutions in the name of revenge, women who fight for their family, fight for their friends, fight for their freedom. In spite of the angry women I’ve written, and the angry women I’ve read about, I am not an…
Life Is Like A Laptop
Be Sociable, Share! Tweet My laptop crashed tonight. I’m writing this blog on it, so obviously it wasn’t fatal. But it took an hour to reboot, and kept coming up with error messages. I spent the first half of that hour hoping it would sort itself out, and the second half scrambling about on my…
What I’ve Learnt About Value
Be Sociable, Share! Tweet If I had to pinpoint my defining trait, I would say it’s my compulsion to find meaning in everything, I place my faith in signs and symbols, searching for a pattern to cling onto. A lesson I’ve learnt this year is that just because something has meaning, it doesn’t mean it…
Apocalypse Cow: Is Veganism The Solution To Climate Change?
Be Sociable, Share! Tweet Since I was fourteen years old, I have loved dystopian post-apocalyptic novels. I love reading them, and I love writing them, but I sure as hell don’t want to live in one. There is a reason why Disney and Harry Potter have theme parks, and The Hunger Games doesn’t: people don’t…
Dancing With Despair
Be Sociable, Share! Tweet When I was a kid, my grandmother used to send me and my sister DVD box sets of TV shows. Usually it was only one or two DVDS of each show, so we’d only watch the first few episodes, and never find out the end. This was how I first watched…
Reflections On Rejection
Be Sociable, Share! Tweet If you have read my other blog posts, or stalked my twitter, you’ll know that I’m a tiny bit obsessed with my love life. Perhaps it’s because my never-ending stream of rejections is the only constant in my life. Whatever the reason, the way in which I deal with rejection has…
11 Things I’ve Learnt At University
Be Sociable, Share! Tweet It’s been a week since my third year of university began. I’ve been running around like mad, trying to juggle course reading, and society commitments, and somehow manage to get to class on time. The fact I have the overwhelming urge to write a blog every two days does not make…
I Fell In Love With Myself, And Here’s What I Learnt
Be Sociable, Share! TweetI am blessed and cursed with a great memory. I will remember sweet things people said to me a month or a year ago, or that my best friend is allergic to kiwi fruits. I will remember what time of day people are born, what zodiac signs all their planets are in,…
Confessions Of A High Maintenance Human
Be Sociable, Share! TweetIf I had £1 for every time someone has called me “too much” or “full on” or “intense”, I would have enough money to buy myself a new personality. Alas, I am a poor student, and personalities have yet to become a sellable commodity, so there’s not much I can do about…
