The best of us and the worst of us…

This is slightly political and fairly preachy, so look away now if you don't want that... Freedom of speech is such a tight rope of an issue. In the wake of the Westminster attack there has been a huge amount of opinion placed into reporting, and commenting on news storys. Right now, what comes to …

Another show over…

In 2009 The Vampire Diaries began its 8 year run and on Friday it ended. In that time I began and finished my GCSE's, took my A-Levels, started and graduated University! Now I have a strong affection for television shows. I admit its bordering on unhealthy at times. So when TVD announced season 8 would be the …

New hair. New lipstick (…collection?)

So a couple of weeks ago I dyed my hair red, well ginger. I love it. Its a big change since I used to have light blonde hair. So big change. One thing I didn't count on was for my makeup to change. Of course I have dyed my hair before, mostly various shades of …

Austen Rediscovered…

During secondary school I had to study Pride and Prejudice, by non other than Miss Jane Austen. Before then I had been an avid reader or teen fiction. Yes, I was and still am to some degree a Twi-Hard. Studying this novel changed me though, I feel in love with the classics. Although I do …

Pressure.

So I am under pressure. From outside forces and from myself. I am currently in the process of writing my MA Supporting Statement. This is where I need to lay out why I think I should get a place on the course. Sounds easier than it is I can assure you. There are so many factors …

Long time no type.

I haven't written here for several months now, and I have no reason. I have had ideas about what to write, I have even written a draft post or two, yet nothing has been posted. Why? I think I have become complacent. Not willingly so, but none the less I have. I have a strong idea …

Something or Nothing?

Unwanted male attention is not a new issue for me. Not meaning to sound big headed, but every female I know has experienced unwanted male attention at some point in their lifetime. Leaving work Thursday shortly after 9pm my usual bus stop was closed and so I had to walk to the next stop.  I realised my …

Accidental Erotica…

There is a perfectly reasonable, albeit amusing explanation to the title of this blog. When I was about 13/14 I started to love reading and although I never stopped my appetite decreased. I put my renewed desire to dive into different worlds down to needing something to fill the void the education system used to …

The Power of Music

I have no musical talent. Seriously, I cannot play a single instrument. My university housemates said that on I can sing in perfect tune with people, but the big problem is I have no clue I am doing it. Which means I can't do it all the time so does not count as a talent. …

Is Networking for me?

Last Thursday I attended an event focused around networking. I am familiar with the term, having had a day focused on it at university a few months ago. This event however was to be hosted by an expert in the field with ambassadors from of different companies present. A good friend of mine was hosting the event, …
