I’m having coffee with a Cancerian gentleman tomorrow. At least we’re hoping he’s a gentleman. It’s just a tinder thing, so you never know! I mean I’ve literally told him the bar is on the ground as far as my expectations for him as a person go, so it’s gonna be pretty easy to have…

I started at a new gym today! I haven’t been to the gym in over a year and it felt so good to be back. I mean I’d prefer to be back on the land, always with something physical to do keeping me fit. But as far as living in suburbia goes, going to the…

A few years back I had a friend who encouraged me to join the creative writing group she was in on Facebook. They were running a workshop of sorts and it was encouraged we post five dot points every day.  They could be as simple or involved as we felt, just as long as we…

International Women’s Day heyyyy? On this day two years ago I got engaged. Not because he thought it was a cool feminist moment, it was a coincidence.

I love Summer. Spring is also magnificent. The other two seasons can suck it.  Cold weather is not fun. You have to wear actual clothes, like, all the time?! Not for me, thank you. And yes! I know! It doesn’t get cold in Queensland! NONSENSE. Not only does it indeed get cold, it’s a super…

Tonight a man on tinder told me he’d bring me snacks in exchange for – and I quote – “a blowjob”.  I don’t know if I’m more or less offended that he didn’t even swing for a whole fuck.  Like firstly, ick. Secondly, it’s bad enough being reduced to a sex object, let alone being…
