Nanowrimo

If you don’t know what NaNoWriMo is, click here and you can learn.
I’m doing it I’ll probably fail epically, but I guess that’s a part of the fun.
Since I will be attempting to write a 50,000 word novel in a month, I probably won’t get to write on here much.
I suggest that you [...]

Sex on fire

Yesterday evening, I was just innocently watching television whilst looking around at nothing in particular on the internet. There I was, reading the news online, when I hear: “If you like sex on fire, text 65005″

Sex on fire sounds like the worst and most dangerous fetish ever! Apparently it’s a song, by Kings of Leon, [...]

What they teach you at school

How to test the pH of something, what an asymptote is, pythagoras’ theorum, the year that the battle of Wounded Knee took place (1890), correct use of a semi-colon, the periodic table, the difference between a pronoun and a noun, etcetera etcetera etcetera.

I annoy myself.
Hiya, did you [...]

Zzzzzzz

I’m in bed right now, had a long day at work and the worst nights sleep, so I am absolutely knackered. But, I wanted to check in.
Literally. I’m done now. Ugh whatever. Insert filler.
I feel like at the moment, my life is just WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK. Monday to Friday is school, Saturday is [...]

Number 64

Don’t worry, I’ll try and make it as unimaginative and uninteresting as the other 63; We wouldn’t want to upset the trend now would we?
I wouldn’t like all the money in the world, to distribute to everyone, and although that sounds kind of mean, have a think and you’ll see, it’s not. Why should someone [...]
