1. Take one bottle of white wine 2. Pour generously into large glass 3. Add hilarious show, Mock the Week in this case. 4. Laugh wildly. Result: woken neighbours and sore ribs from laughing so bloody loud. Alcoholism is a pretty good cure for stress though, I have to say. It’s not like me to […]
Category: Personal
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.
DVD Recommendations, etc
I’ve finally managed to sign up to one of those online DVD rental things. I kept telling myself I would and not getting round to it (story of my life) so I feel like I achieved something by doing so. Anyway, now that I’ve signed up and lovefilm.com have given me a funky 2 week […]

3 new t-shirts (2 geek, 1 gamer). That brings my total up to 18. I am just too l33t.
Going Through the Menopause
Yes, that’s right, I’m going through the menopause. Sure, I might be about 25 years too young, what why should that stop someone like myself? How else can you explain the dramatic mood swings I’ve been experiencing today? I woke up fine, felt like bursting into tears every five minutes between 9-11am, felt fine again […]
I bloody hate it when…
…all I can think to write about is a load of whingy bollocks. And, I also hate it when: I (unintentionally) bite the inside of my cheek four times in a row, causing my mouth to swell and bleed, making chewing impossible. People talk about me in “private” forums (what’s particularly amusing though, is that […]
You Know You’re a Geek When…
…you create a PHP script to parse your telephone bills because you can’t be bothered to install suitable software to deal with .csv files.

What a Wonderful Day
I’m having a great day so far. I opened my inbox to a very pretty “Happy Valentines” photograph from Han (who I’m yet to thank, oops) and an e-mail from my mummy telling me that her flowers are beautiful. I had actually forgotten that I’d ordered them, so it was like a big double surprise […]
I’m Getting Old…
Happy birthday to me! Somebody buy me a bloody Wii? Who am I kidding, you tight bastards, I’ll settle for Jonathan Cree-eeek on DVD! OK, I have to admit that it’s not my birthday until tomorrow but I figured if I post today, it’ll give you all chance to ship out those birthday cards and […]
What a Year…
If someone had approached me at the beginning of this year and said “this, this and this is going to happen” I’d have probably laughed in their face because 2006 has been so… life-changing! In so many ways, I think this year really was the start of my life as a grown-up. Around January I […]
