My latest writing project is a bit of a "life of an inanimate object". It was originally intended to be quite lighthearted, but the more I've thought about it, the harder it becomes to write. In our throwaway culture, the likely life of an ordinary object is actually quite sad. How can it have a happy ending? Well, it's going to have one, and I ( Read more... ) -

As mentioned in an earlier post, my lovely ghost_danser is growing a moustache for November to raise money for a prostate cancer charity.
Since it's going to look a bit silly, he's playing up to it by posting Extremely Silly and themed pictures up on Flickr.

A good cause!
Stewart is growing a moustache for charity! The aim is to grow a moustache for the whole of "Movember" to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer. This is particularly important for me because my granddad died from it a few years ago. So, Stewart is looking a bit silly for a while ( Read more... ) -

Hello, livejournal. It's been a month since my last entry, and if I'm honest, it seems like longer than that. I keep going to write an entry, but feeling like I have nothing to say ( Read more... ) -
Cat playing games.
Over the last week, we've been trying to get Ruby some more exercise. There's a particular toy she goes nuts for, so when we've been doing housework and other things that involve us going up and down stairs a lot, we've been taking it with us, getting her to run around with us, and playing as we go ( Read more... ) -

So, I'm a good mood, and I end up writing something that's really pretty dark and depressing.
I feel like self-destructive crap, and decide to channel it, and end up with something that's actually kinda sweet. (coming soon)
Confused. Any explanations? -
Story: Embers of a Dying Heart
Last night, I spoke to my mum on the phone. I've been making some decisions recently about how I spend my time, my priorities and my options. I've chosen to give up something that I'm doing, so that I can spend more time reading and writing. I haven't written anything creative in a long time, and I miss that. She told me that earlier that day ( Read more... ) -
It's good to be appreciated.
Getting back to work was difficult. I'd been worrying a little about the audit we were having, because it was mostly on things that I have responsibility for. And partly, because I've been away for a few weeks out of the last month, and another colleague in the office had two weeks off, I'm not as confident that all processes were followed ( Read more... ) -

I hate abandoned buildings. I think a lot of people do. I like building projects that are on 'brownbelt' land in towns - that sort of rejuvenation is usually popular with everyone. Usually though, this involves demolishing old buildings, and that can be prohibitively expensive ( Read more... ) -
Tattoos
So, after passing my driving test, I got a new tattoo. I'd had the design in my head for a little while, and because my driving test was a pretty big deal to me, I decided to make that the milestone. It was something I really felt I lacked, as a person. It's strange, but I feel a little more complete now ( Read more... )
