Man! I feel like a woman!

In 1999 my bedroom was still baby pink with pictures of Beatrix Potter charaters everywhere. I was in year 2 and I wore a pinafore to school everyday. I’d have to say looking back on it in 1999 a lot of my favourite songs were released…
Songs like:
Lullaby – Shawn Mullins
Iris – Goo Goo Dolls

Topic Five

This week’s topic is:
The Internet.
An apology for the lateness of this new topic, someone else is to blame.

I don’t think it’s anything unnatural

What is it about life that so often makes you want to throw it all away?

I might have lived my life in a dream, but I swear, this is real.

I’m surprised I haven’t done this yet. I have a vague excuse, but not a noteworthy one.
This morning I woke up, earlier than the other person in the room – a normal occurence at every sleepover I’ve been to since I don’t know how long. I stayed where I was for a fair while – [...]

Always look on the bright side of…what?

We all look for meaning in our lives, that’s how we’re programmed.

The production of Children and continuation of the Human Race appears to be one of our primary porpoises (ahaha, Britcom reference). Life has now been hijacked by the evil corporations, who [...]

Life. Don’t talk to me about life.

Life is an interesting thing, and yet is so damn boring for most of us. In Western society it’s very easy to just do the whole ’school, job, retire’ thing and many people only realise just how unfulfilling it is after working for many years. There are indeed an infinite number of possibilities of what [...]

Life is one of life’s little oddities.
Some spend ages trying to find meaning. Others think they’ve found it, and endlessly try to convince others themselvesĀ that they’re right. My general theory for living? A healthy dose of scepticism (the original kind, look it up) mixed with enough realism to keep you grounded. Oh, and love helps. [...]

Laugh, and grow fat!

Life is meaningless. Therefore, enjoy it while it lasts.
