My Speech to the Graduating Class, a Poem by...
I might have written it somewhere else maybe in another poem but it might be a nice way to start off this shindig.
You belong everywhere.
The age you are at right now is something you will want back in about ten years. Try and be less reserved. Be bold now. Tell her you’ve got a crush, or had a crush and if they make the right face then you still have that crush. It’s OK. She won’t stab your...

– I typed all this out by hand I was so delighted to find it in this excellent book about foxes. (via somethingchanged)

Probably one of the most beautiful images I’ve seen in a long time.

Why your friends seem to be more popular than you. →
I found this strangely reassuring.
Brought to my attention by Julie, who’s wonderful blogg and twitter I’ve finaly been able to catch up with - after spending two months on the African continent; virtually bereft of teh internetz. It’s a harsh existence.

My sister has fallen asleep in my bed. Do I take hers?
I will very probably be in south Africa come January. Yay!
Roseship and hibiscus is a horrible blend of tea. Just thought I’d let everyone know.
The International Covenant on Civil and Political...
Reading about the process of ratifying this UN treaty, a parallell to modern-day facebook comes to mind. 160 pressed “I like”, 38 of these commented, some pressed “I like” in response the comments while others started whining over the lack of a “dislike” option. There are comments on the objections to the reservations against essentially every article of the...

Take Five →
Won’t you stop and take a little time out with me. Just take five. Stop your busy day and take the time out to see if I’m alive.

When you smile, that’s much too discreet, sends...
Threadless
I never wear regular t-shirts. This isn’t a principle of mine - not as such - as time and time again I will put one on, scrutinise myself in a mirror, but then for some reason remove said garment. What is it that this long, hard look reveals? Do I find the format bland, is it that I fear compromising my femininity, or does the t-shirt empathise parts of my body that I find less agreeable?...
The Idiot Test →
- which ranks me as almost average. Beat that on the first go :P

Manners
You can tell that you have too many “friends” on facebook the day you experience being randomly insulted for conveying a writer’s block in a status update. I love being geeky, I find geeky people more fascinating, but I really don’t appreciate being called a nerd for expressing myself eloquently. And that by a scarcely literate, smoking drunkard of a teenage mum who can’t spell her name properly...
