Sunshine

This weekend in London has seriously upped my weather related expectations for the rest of the summer. I look forward to much disappointment when it rains every day in June, July, etc. Yesterday was glorious though and as I sat and sunned myself in the park I had this phone conversation with my dad. Me: [...]

Confession

I really want an iPad. I know, I know, they’re overpriced and they don’t play Flash and I shouldn’t encourage Apple’s plan to take over the world. I still want one though. My laptop is perfectly fine, only cost £400, and is obviously portable. It’s not great for carrying around though. It’s actually pretty heavy. [...]

I love teen drama. [...]

Novel

Yes, I am now one of those people. The people who write novels. I’ve been writing bits and pieces for a long time now. My English and Drama teachers were fans. I had a poem published one time. I rocked essay time in school and wrote my University dissertation from start to finish in two [...]

Beginnings

Recipe For A Blackhole, although actually a lyric from the band Rilo Kiley, is a surprisingly apt title for a blog about my life. My goal for 2012 was going to be: straighten myself out. But, straight lines are boring so I settled for: make life more awesome. I figured I might as well chronicle [...]
