Nonsense.
Tricky post see. I’m having trouble communicating today. It’s very upsetting for me.
I keep on typing things wrong, like words entirely wrong. Totally unrelated to original word. I don’t like not being able to get my thoughts out quickly enough.
Probably just lack of sleep and stuff, so I’ll be briefish.
But yeah. All day, things have [...]

I love child things because there’s so much mystery when you’re a
child. When you’re a child, something as simple as a tree doesn’t make
sense. You see it in the distance and it looks small, but as you go
closer, it seems to grow ? you haven’t got a handle on the rules when
you’re a [...]

Well, not quite, but this film did put me into an almost blissful state. Just warm and happy and at ease with the world. Smiles galore and a feeling like the air was flowing clearer around me.
So yeah, I guess I liked it.
It is indeed fairly baffling. I think I got more of the [...]

So, be warned, this may not be my most forward thinking post, but I’ve been thinking about the contradictions inherent in myself recently, and thought writing about them, whilst posting some relevant videos might be something I could do on a Sunday. Apologies if I offend.
Anyway, here’s my confession. I absolutely adore sassy, sexually [...]

Picked this up from HPS…what’s my ‘dating persona’?
Oh joy I’m:

Edit: Just did some further reading and the preferred term for Berdache is Two Spirit (Berdache is etymologically Spanish in origin and has negative connotations…however, I don’t want to say ‘Spirituality of the Two Spirit’ as it’s repetitive. More information here.)
So, just read an amazing post by V. There are some aspects of feminism a [...]

Lots of Inspirational things have been driving my way in the last twenty four hours or so. Not least of all is a wonderfully thoughtful webcomic called Copper. Seemingly just about a clever dog and his wise young master and their path through life. I’ve never seen anything so cute that manages to be as [...]

Has been a day full of thoughts.
Not enough sleep and plenty of morning.
Sunshine in the cold and wet floors beneath.
Incoherency and too much Tea.
Boring games and inspiring words.
Lost me a bit.
But what does that mean?
It means I’m feeling pretentious and self absorbed again.
Let’s start again with something closer to prose.
I don’t have much to say, [...]

So, indeed, I did watch the Science of Sleep the night before last. I enjoyed it massively, in fact it was an incredibly personally affective film for me. A little nerve-wracking almost, for all the naive silliness that goes on. I’ll explain in a moment.
First off let me mention that the french title is shown [...]

I feel unable to really communicate accurately how I’m feeling right now.
It’s not that it’s terrible, it’s just that everything is going a bit to fast for my self to catch up with.
Don’t worry, nothing terrible is going on…it’s just that either my life is speeding up or my brain is slowing down.
The swing is [...]

So, I am still maintaining some kind of forward motion on the nano. I finally got the ball rolling again.
Only problem is it’s going incredibly slowly.
I kinda took the weekend off and spent most of it absolutely bladdered…or at best hungover. This was good in a way, but in fact I think I would’ve preferred [...]

So, it’s miles off from the full moon and everything’s gone a little weird.
I think I’m having fun. In principle at least.
I keep on not thinking about what I’m saying and just splurging random sentences based on things I can see or smell or am remembering. Poor Mr Subliminal had to put up with me [...]

So. I’m at work, and I wasn’t planning on blogging today. I was hoping to write a couple of thousand words on the old novel. That’s right…I’ve finally had the burst of ideas I’ve been waiting for and I’m ready to carry on and make my way towards the ending that I’ve been wanting to [...]

So, in my previous article on The Squid and the Whale, I commented on the fact that intellectualising stuff can make emotional experiences more troublesome, stressful, painful and more difficult to react to.
I think I actually succeeded in entirely detaching myself from the fact that it’s been a problem I’ve had for ages. It [...]

hair everywhere said 10 minutes ago:I haven’t been up to much these days. Such is life. I’ve just been letting everything happen without me these days, but I don’t care.
That was it. It cropped up in my ‘My comments’ page. It was underneath a conversation I’d had ages ago about gerrymandering, and proportional [...]
