Born Afar
We would be dark. Matter of fact. I’d turn into Penelope. Pen-e-lope, like cantaloupe; she was ripe, over ripe perhaps, withered with the waiting years, Penny parched from rolling tears- enough to swim him home. If he was water you are stone. Sandstone. Solid. Something - young boys need to cling to, something - a bow to fit the string to, something. That’s not me but it’s...

For Christmas I got Blankets by Craig Thompson and I’d finished it by Boxing Day morning. I was going to write a You Should Read post on it, but as much as I loved the thing it felt pretty alien from me you know, like in a, “This is beautiful but I relate very little to this character” sort of way and I quite like to be able to quickly transition into talking about myself when I...

hurryuppleaseitstime:
PETER enters, moving slowly towards CHARLOTTE. They are both almost imperceivably drunk, the alcohol weighs on their limbs like a fine layer of rain. The table becomes a bar they are standing at. PETER: There’s no point to this. CHARLOTTE: I agree. PETER: I don’t mean life / I mean drinking CHARLOTTE: /Ohh (she laughs). PETER: What are you supposed to do? How can this be a...

At work, people will often say things like, “Oooh my back hurts,” and, “Oh I’m in pain!” Occasionally though, they’ll say, “I’ve got pain.”
Most of the time I manage to stop myself answering with, “Effie we’ve all got paaaaaain!” But sometimes not so much.

Night Poem by Margaret Atwood
There is nothing to be afraid of, it is only the wind changing to the east, it is only your father the thunder your mother the rain In this country of water with its beige moon damp as a mushroom, its drowned stumps and long birds that swim, where the moss grows on all sides of the trees and your shadow is not your shadow but your reflection, your true parents disappear when the curtain covers...

We wrote a live-action novel with sentimental contents. Love, and such, legends; the sort that exist and involve moonlight. You were almost prehistoric we knew, aware of your enduring an age (several). Surviving what the Mammoths, the Mesonychid, failed to. Not mythical then, but old. A veteran. I, your sly, red cousin, (so honest until I stopped) have no such nobility. No pride. No deep,...

What To Get The Frankie In Your Life - A Gift...
Is your wife/brother/chum/husband/neighbour/girlfriend/pal/fishman/colleague/cute coffee shop worker a fake redhead INFP with slowly escalating self esteem, too many books and a love for Flashdance that knows no bounds? Do they have exactly the same personality and brain as me? Are you struggling to find them an appropriate Christmas gift they’ll genuinely love and lose because they’re...

“I wish I could get well faster.
But I must not think about that. This paper looks to me as if it knew what a vicious influence it had!
There is a recurrent spot where the pattern lolls like a broken neck and two bulbous eyes stare at you upside down.
I get positively angry with the impertinence of it and the everlastingness. Up and down and sideways they crawl, and those absurd, ...

Today I picked out a Christmas tree with my family and when we got to the garden centre they gave us free mince pies and mulled wine to enjoy while we browsed and there is NOTHING better than free wine and pie.

You should read Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
There are certain books, movies and television shows that are really fun to summarise. When it comes to movies, we’re usually talking about something that involves dance: “She’s a welder but she wants to make it as a dancer”, “Kevin Bacon wants to dance but he can’t dance because the town has banned dance”, “Nomi is a lap dancer but she wants to be a...

Things that the upcoming post will be:
- Too long
- Full of inappropriate comparisons to Virginia Andrew’s classic tribute to incest, Flowers in the Attic.
- Really contrived.
- Really incoherent.
- Impossible to read all the way through.
-Full of spoilers. Is it possible to spoil a two hundred year old novel? I don’t think so, consider this your fair warning.

Anonymous asked: I have a question and I hope it does not come across as trolling, I am simply curious. In retrospective, how do you feel about t.A.T.u. now, knowing they also pretended to be gay for the monetary benefits it brings? I think almost everyone bought it, unlike Katy Perry's case (not that it makes it better). I am aware of the sleaziness of their manager scouting fourteen/fifteen year olds and...

I’m finishing work early tommorow and if I’m not hanging out with my co cake maker I think I am going to write about why you should read Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.
Who’s excited?

Duck Billed
I feel as if I spend half my time trying not to take up too much space and the rest of it trying to fill as much as possible - expand with confidence, or coherence, or something. Today it was the former; she walked in to find me curled up, cross legged, trying to write and smiled.
“You look like you’re sat on a mushroom.”
“What?”
“Yeah, like on a fairy toadstool, you’re perched.” She threw...

“No but really, in conclusion — when Santana came out I felt like I had my girl. I got her. I was like that, a razor-tongued slut who hated everybody, who built emotional walls like they’d magically become a fortress one day and not just a giant moat, who never understood why my feelings about boys were so fucked up and my feelings about girls were so scary but also easy but...

I’m so sad because I’d saved Brief Encounter on our Sky+ box and I wanted to watch it but someone’s deleted the whole thing. It’s not the biggest problem in the world, not on the grand scale of everything but I just wanted to see Celia Johnson’s eyes and hear some RP English and cry.
