Please can you turn down the sun? We’re all turning down our central heating to prevent global warming, so it seems only fair that you play along. Also, being too hot is making my skin all itchy. Also, the brightness hurts my eyes. Also, all my clothes are the wrong colour.
I am prepared to compromise [...]

Wow. The ever-lovely Lexie @ Teenage Misanthropy has given me an award.
I’m a bit chuffed, I have to say. Except without the bit, obviously. Anyway, without further ado, and before I start rambling about how I want to thank my agent, my manager, the members of the academy etc, on to my [...]

Well, I’m sure this will come as nothing of a surprise to any of you, but I haven’t made an appointment with my gp.

Sorry for the lack of interesting posts at the moment. I’m not having an especially great time of it right now. Specifically, my mood is on a downward spiral. I’m tired all the time.

Er… right… so … just one quick question – what’s a meme, exactly? Are we talking Richard Dawkins here? Or is this some new fangled craze amongst [...]

You know toddlers? You know how sometimes, at the end of the day, and they’re tired, and they just sit there with a massive scowl on their face? And that whatever you do – tell them it’s time for bed, put on their favourite dvd, give them ice cream – they’ll just sit there frowning, [...]

Hmmm, I can’t work out whether that title should be in large friendly letters, or if it’s more of a reference to Corporal Jones.

A proper post will follow in due course. I’m not saying exactly when, mind. The whole sitting still in front of a computer thing is proving a little tricky right now.

“Gay guilt” & the lack of gay Mental Health blogs
Right, I’m going to finish this damn post if it kills me. (See my last-but-one post for an explanation of why that might be likely not to happen.)
About a zillion years ago, Teenage Misanthropy posed the question of why there aren’t more gay mental health blogs. It’s an interesting question, and one I tried to [...]
