I love too many fictional characters to have a favourite, but I love Artemis Fowl, for his pure intelligence and dry wit. I also love Richie Tozier from Stephen King's 'It', because he's funny and adorably slick, despite the fact that he has precious few friends.

Sherlock Holmes bugs me, because he's so self absorbed and arrogantly assured of his ( Read more... )

I shall explain as though this was a story, as I find it easier to tell things that way. You probably won't find it funny, but you seriously had to be there.

It was one year ago, in an art lesson concerning clay pots and the production thereof. Naturally Emma was failing to produce anything that didn't resemble a lump of crap, and naturally N's pot ( Read more... )

Having just this second heard the news that Mark Speight's body has been found in a London Train Station, I would like to say a few words.

When I was a child, Mark cheered me up when I came home from school every day. SMart was my favourite television programme, save for cartoons, and he always made me laugh, and, thinking back, some of his jokes ( Read more... )

I have 37 confessions. Sorry, I can't fix the spacing on this, it's broken.

Writing. There's something about writing a story and knowing that you have complete control over the way it turns out for the characters that seems pretty powerful to me.

But then, what do I know? I'm answering yet another writer's block, which shows just how creative I'm feeling at the moment!

Grow up? I'll never grow up! But when I'm older, I'd like to be a vet, and also a writer. Well, a published writer; I'm a writer already.

More importantly, I'd like to be part of my own family, and even more importantly than that I want to be my own person, and happy.

Erm... Cooking, I guess. It's not exactly a secret, and it's definitely not now, but as I never cook at home (at least, not when anybody's in) nobody has any faith in my culinary talents. My whole family will mock me when I say I'll cook something, and they all end up pleasantly surprised when they actually eat it. Of course, no amount of surprises ( Read more... )

 Definitely an otter. They look like they have so much fun, and when they lay back on the sands they look so chilled... Sounds like a perfect life to me.

Hmm. This should be interesting.

I often start journals, and never continue them. The reason? I know that nobody will read them... except me that is. I recently discovered the joys of myspace etc, but blogging never interested me. Why should I write to my friends about my day when they were there anyway?

However! The possibility of other people being ( Read more... )
