I am a huge Doctor Who fan. People who know me may have noticed this. It probably accounts for the fact that for my recent birthday, I received a huge TARDIS cutout, a TARDIS teapot, a Dalek book light, and some other things. So when I heard that Alex Kingston (otherwise known as the amazing … Continue reading »

My Hair
My hair and I have an interesting relationship. It’s changed a lot over the past few years as well, which is why I thought I’d post about it today. It’s quite funny how hair can be a marker of lots of different things, including major life changes. For me, confidence has been one of the … Continue reading »
Twenty-One
Yesterday I turned twenty-one. It isn’t a big deal legally – if I wanted to, I could have been drinking three years ago – but I think it does seem to represent a sort of culmination of growing up, something I feel like I’ve been doing a lot of in the past few years. As … Continue reading »

Surely, the one thing that discovering my own asexuality has taught me is that there is something else to the model of finding that special someone and dating and progressing to … Continue reading »
Reflecting on a Year of Blogging
Today, I’m celebrating a year of blogging! Technically, my blogging anniversary would have been sometime in June. However, this time one year ago was when I really started to get into this blog, and began to post regularly, rather than writing one thing and then nothing for months on end. So I’m celebrating today, because … Continue reading »
An Open Letter (or: I am not sick and sexuality is not a choice)
Taking a page out of SwankIvy‘s book. My response to a lovely message I got the other day, from someone who decided that they knew more about me than I did, and that I obviously need help. Hi there, family friend. Well, it’s always nice to know that you’ve got me all figured out in … Continue reading »
