Humans Being Humans

The recent disaster in the Gulf of Mexico highlights quite well, I think, what our race has become. A pain in the backside obsessed with laser treatments and getting its own way is what, if you ask me. What am I going on about you may well ask? Well, yesterday I saw a documentary on the harrowing events which led up to the oil spill; pictures of poor sea-life. Rare turtles that has drunk the oil and perished. Birds the More

Bug-Bug-Bugged

Something has really been bugging me for a while, and (along with what vaginal tightening entails, because ugghh, I just saw an ad for it on TV and it does not look pretty…) it’s this: what is it with people thinking that those who choose to get tattoos are thugs and hussies and madmen / women?

What a load of rubbish!

Case in point is this:

Every day for the last two years I have walked past the same tattoo More

First Impressions Count

I am always, always, always getting in to trouble because of the way I look. It’s always been that way. I just have that kind of a persona, I suppose. When I was a young girl I was the rogue who played with the boys and hated things like summer beach dresses (you can imagine I didn’t get invited to little girls’ parties very often–especially in July and August) and when I grew up I immediately became the kind of More

Celebrity Culture: A Concise Rant

Here is something that I am totally willing to admit to anyone who asks; I am absolutely rubbish at keeping up with celebrity culture. Seriously I am about as clued up on the state of Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt/Jennifer Aniston/all their damn adopted/natural/shared children as I am on the current rates of Stratford flats and houses for rent.

In my defense, it’s not because I don’t read the papers, or I am a hermit that never leaves the flat, it’s More

Just because I work in a Bar–

–does not mean, in any circumstances that I want to sleep with you. I work in a bar in the middle of Camden, don’t get me wrong it is a great bar. We do great gigs (sometimes my band even plays there), and it is a totally happening place to be if you are in your twenties and really like rock music. If you are more into the pop scene, with the wags, and the pink clothing, and the high More

Certain Times Call For Certain Measures

It’s only when you get to a certain age (for me it was when I started dreaming about email marketing software ) that you realize you have reached a certain age. There’s no warning, so if you’re sixteen years old or even eighteen then don’t think you’re that far away from it; you’re not. It’ll creep up and get you, mark my words.

Yeah you laugh, but you won’t be soon!

Yesterday evening my friend and I were sitting by More

The Thing We Call The Present

People go on and on about the future, don’t they? I have no problem with that, only what about The Present? The Present gets a raw deal in my book. I mean the past is massive, isn’t it? All that endless history and stuff; it’s amazing and much applauded. And the future is even more massive in a funny sort of way; and exciting, because we know it will happen, but we don’t know how. But then you get More

Being a vegetarian and lactose intolerant…

So I’m lactose intolerant. That means I stay away from meat and dairy, though its hard to avoid milk.

So you can imagine me at a supermarket, checking the ingredients for any milk products, on the sides of the plastic packaging of groceries, they love to make it so hard for us lactose intolerants, like they have some sort of vendetta against us because we can’t drink milk. In restaurants its no easier, despite working as a waitress, when I More
