Blogging for over 25 years
Read about my battles with Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), my mental health, surviving both childhood sexual abuse and a 12 year relationship plagued with emotional abuse, as well personal projects / challenges, and anything vaguely Jem-related.
Happy birthday to me! Squashed tomatoes and peas! Bread and butter in the gutter, Happy birthday to meeeee! Yes, today I became another year older (all in 24 hours, isn’t that amazing?) I am now old enough to.. well, actually, pretty much the same shizzle as before. Having pre-booked the day off work before Christmas,… read full entry »
Merry Christmas to all of my readers, young and old alike. May your bellies be filled with wonderful food and your stockings stuffed with presents.. or whatever it is turns you on at this time of year. Enjoy the festive season, and don’t drink too much brandy eggnog — leave some for me at least… read full entry »
My report is done. All 3000 or so words of it. 90% of which I did tonight. I hate how I leave everything until the last minute (it’s due tomorrow). Anyway, woohoo, I am going to celebrate by getting off the damned computer for a while. Go me :)
…is my health. My health, damnit! I’ve been holed up in bed pretty much non-stop since Saturday because somebody infected me with a bloody cold. What is it with the stream of shit I’ve been hit with this past week or so? Food poisoning (or stomach bug, whatever), then my period [shudder] and now this…. read full entry »

I had no idea what to blog about but — not wanting to break my record and the run I’ve been having because of NaBloPoMoLoDoFo (or you know, whatever) — the girls at Snark (i.e. Rachael and Aisling) suggested I post about Karl. So, here are 5 things you may not have known about Karl… read full entry »
I’ve been feeling a little bit rough this week, if not from the icy cold weather we seem to having all of a sudden then plain old tiredness. A combination of later nights, Hex waking me up at the crack of dawn and the everlasting darkness at the time of year all contributing to my… read full entry »
I was reading some story on the BBC website earlier about how 8 out of 10 women don’t exercise enough. Apparently this is because they’re all obsessed with being thin and looking beautiful. Er, does anyone see the failure in this logic? Surely by keeping a regular exercise pattern a woman is more likely to… read full entry »
Nan turned 25 yesterday. She felt sad because it’s “half way to 50”, so I tried to cheer her up… I’m guessing it worked to some degree because she posted a beautiful entry today on all of the things she has to be thankful for in her life. Of course, this got me thinking about… read full entry »
It’s been around 14 years since my last eye test and after much “umm”ing and “ahh”ing, Karl and I decided it was probably about time I got off my lazy arse and went to the opticians. I figured that working and playing with computers for up to 14 hours a day probably hasn’t done them… read full entry »
