This is an answer in two parts. Except I might not tell you the second part. Unless you want me to. Or, you know, I’m bored later. I’ve actually studied Shakespeare a couple of times. Well, I say ‘studied’. I spent eighteen months of high school barely conscious and I only have two clear recollections […]

Friday Was spent relating to a sociopath and questioning the limits of my self-control. And, you know, causing people to laugh at me. Me: …that’s normal, right? Arkem: Indeed Me: Oh good. I’m… not totally sure what constitutes normal right now. Arkem: Is it important? …. And shouldn’t you be working? Me: I am! I […]

So after yesterday’s post a few people contacted me to make sure I wasn’t eyeing off tall buildings or bottles of pills. Me: Apparently my post this morning concerned people and some of them have poked me to say, ‘Are you insane/okay?’ Rick: The suicide post? Me: Yeah. I don’t know. You talk about hanging […]

So Ernest Hemingway suggests I hang myself. This strikes me as being on par with the school of thought that gave us: If at first you don’t succeed, call an airstrike. Still… I think he sort of has a point. Not that I think suicide is the answer. But it would give you something to […]

I am trashed out of my skull. No, not with the alcohol. I am not drunk. Why do people keep asking me that? I am just… not on speaking terms with the sandman right now. I tried staying in bed thinking, Sleep now. Sleep is good. Sleep is my friend. We should all be friends […]

Me: My brain hates me today. It is a block of wood on top of my neck mocking me about my inability to form sentences. Wuffie: *head pets*. That’s no good on the block headiness! Or should that be headedness? Me: I don’t even know anymore. On the up side, if you don’t sleep at […]

Yesterday I kicked the freezer for the last time. Now only peas and ice are left in its depths. I’m feeling a bit conflicted about it. I mean, logically, it’s very old and I’m afraid one day it will burn the house down. The handle fell off several years ago and the drawers have been […]

This whole naming-the-characters in Wizards is turning out entirely weird. It’s not normally this hard. Generally my characters just tell me what their names are. Or jump up and down and point when I look at a list of names. In this case… I don’t know, maybe they’ve forgotten their own names cause they’re drunk. […]

So I’m writing this thing and I totally want people to read it. To find out if I am, in fact, brilliant. Or just humorously deluded. But when I think about actually showing what I’m working on to someone my brain goes, “Yes, but not yet… I need to do this thing first. And that […]

My brain seems to have taken the crazy juice. So I keep waking up every five minutes. Cue Rick banging his head against the mattress moaning, ‘Want. Sleep’. Which is, you know, hilarious. But still, not so good. Plus, it’s not like I don’t sympathise Me: Being able to sleep on the third day only […]
