I am still far too needy for my own good

littlebirdsings replied to your photo: I have a new mattress on my bed! So awesomely… how much do i adore you for posting this picture?! Hahahaha thanks very much! :-)

caterpillarcowboy replied to your photo: I cooked! Not a terribly good photo, but that’s… Good work! I like to drop in a dash of hot red pepper flakes when sauteing the garlic… gives the dish a little pop. Cheers :-) The reason I didn’t is because this particular pasta is slightly spicy anyway, and I didn’t want to overdo it. Normally I’ll always add chilli flakes to...

fuckyeahpeaches-deactivated2011 asked: You're beautiful and I'm loving your blog. :)

Please please please...

Please come and visit me. Please let us actually act on our (frankly filthy) exchange of emails over this past week. Please don’t let the fact that my sister’s also visiting that weekend put you off. It’s not that weird, honestly! (Ok, so it’s a little weird. But we’re a lovely friendly family and I promise that although it sounds weird on the face of it it...

Cheers, guys :-) Have said that I can’t make Wednesday, as we wouldn’t be able to have a full rehearsal anyway (one of the other guys can’t make it either) so I don’t want to give up what I’m doing. Thing is, we need to have a proper discussion about rehearsals / gigs / progress of the band this year in general, but as one of our members has just dropped the...

When we’re arranging rehearsals, it’s always me that winds up saying “No, that’s ok, I’ll cancel what I’m doing that night” in the hope that we’ll end up with a full complement at rehearsals. So I change my plans, drag myself along when I’m ill or upset or really should be staying late at work, only to find out that someone else has ‘had...

Trying to buy a Polaroid SX-70

As I think I’ll get better results with the film I’ve got than I do with my 600. Unfortunately, SX-70s are a fair bit harder to find and more expensive than 600s… Am hunting though! Watch this space…

Anonymous asked: I love your blog,i read it everyday before work. tis fucking awesome! i think your wonderful and very talented, and the pics of you are a added bonus!

Parents have left, amicably. Think I need a film I can cry to. Any suggestions?

The moment when you begin to feel as though there might, possibly, be an end in sight somewhere down the line is only the very beginning of your recovery. And the moment you realise how far you still have to go is the moment you wish you’d never seen the end in the first place.

Parents are here. Have had a very productive day, moved all my furniture around and put up a few paintings, but now I don’t really think there’s anything else to do (well, I need to properly sort out my art stuff, but that’s something I need to do by myself, really). I’d quite like to have a meal, maybe a glass of wine, and then bid them a fond farewell. However. They seem...

Him: So, how would you rate your sex-life then?
Me: Tonight? Bloody awful!
Him: Haha well not tonight. How about this year?
Me: Well.....hang on, it's still only January
Me: I don't actually think I've had sex at all yet this year
Me: ...that could explain a lot

I can post again! Unfortunately, I can’t think of anything to say anymore. Damn you Tumblr.

This is the Big Society, you see. It must be big,... →

Philip Pullman’s impassioned speech against cuts to public services, and in particular local libraries. Pullman is so eloquent, I adore reading his stuff. This is a wonderful article.

All my followers are deserting me!

This makes me sad :-( Edit: Argh! I just lost another one! Stoppit!

What's not written on my forehead →

“Tell me medication dulls creativity and I’ll tell you it’s hard to be creative when you’re dead” This is one of the best blog posts I’ve ever read about depression

The 405 Introducing #129: Rumour Cubes →

Adam Parker of The 405 refers to Rumour Cubes as “the soundtrack to your daydreams”

I don’t like people seeing me when I feel like this. And that is why, instead of going out and cheering myself up, I stay in and hide behind cigarettes and pasta and crap TV, desperately hoping someone will come and find me and desperately hoping they won’t.

You see, this is the problem. This new persona, over the past few days. It’s not me. It’s fun, dear God is it fun, but it’s not who I am. So keeping it up for any length of time exhausts me, mentally, and then I crash - which is what’s happening now. I’m really not nearly as sexual as I pretend to be. I mean, nothing that I’ve said has been a lie, but more of a...

Anonymous asked: But while it IS still a sex blog - who that you follow on Tumblr would you like to bang?

Anonymous asked: Re: Oral,
I meant being on the recieving end. I'm conducting a bit of an informal survey.
Also, I think the fluidity of your mood makes your blog interesting. Very genuine.

Haha, my new blogging style has me haemmorhaging followers. Don’t worry guys - it won’t last. I’ll be back to my old miserable self in no time, just you see.

Unpleasant ways to wake up

thesefewpresidents: fionchadd: thesefewpresidents: Having a Praktica LTL 3 SLR camera fall off your desk onto your head. Even from a height of only six inches or so, that’s a pretty solid lump of East German metal to wake you up at 3 am. It hurt. Reblog if something unpleasant has woken you up recently! I’m reblogging this because although it wasn’t recent, it is quite a funny story. I...

God damn it what did people listen to in the 1990s

atonaldissonance: thesefewpresidents: No one is going to know Refused or Neutral Milk Hotel. all i can really think of is early 90s grungs. and i guess the foo fighters. and alanis. counting crows? barenaked ladies? the cranberries? this is all stuff that was popular in the US though… help yan out, followers! what were you listening to in the 90s? Haha any of my followers want to...

Anonymous asked: Totally support your right to casual sex. I'm kind of the same and all my friends are serious monogamists and it can be hard, but yeah - not all people are dicks. Love you and hope you find some likeminded pretty people to fuck. xxx

"I don't scare easily"

Quite a few people have said that to me recently (I tend to forewarn people that I’m a crazy person. It saves time, in the long run) But they trot it out, reflexively, without thinking about it. With this incredibly blazé attitude, and it makes me want to rail at them: “I’m not talking about people who scare easily. If you scared easily you wouldn’t even be here speaking...

Anyhow, vegging out will now commence. Later guys :)

I should write my review but I’m mentally drained from reading foreign languages all day. Going to have a smoke and watch TV for a bit, first.

I do like indulging this aspect of myself. Sometimes it’s just got to be done, I think.
