Two Paths…

When the Priest bound their hands, at their bizarre, disorganised, beautiful wedding – the same Priest who would Christen their children – I realised it was all I would never have.
Twice, it hadn’t been right.
Twice, I’d shrunk from the question.
And instead, I would stand, years from now, bound in sequins and red cloth, shaming my [...]

Quarter of a Century..

I am a quarter of a century old today.
(And coincidentally, this is also my blog’s 100th post)
I have done nothing I had planned to do before I hit this milestone.
And I am nowhere near.
I have done little I am proud of, and little that I regret.
My mistakes make me who I am, and my achievements [...]

I Miss You So..

A frumpy old woman pinned me into a bridesmaid dress that was made out of what I can only describe as scratchy, crappy, cheap material.
She said I looked beautiful, but we both knew I actually looked ridiculous.
When the Fiance had said, “I don’t want anyone to look prettier than me!”, she wasn’t kidding, and she [...]

I Have This To Regret..

“Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so.”
~ David Grayson
Nearly four years ago, despite me being in a relationship, someone asked me to marry them.  Granted, it was after we’d slammed three shots of tequila in a row.  But he meant it, and I knew.
He [...]

Forgive and Forget..

After ignoring my calls for a significant amount of time, my best friend called, and said the three words I dreaded most..
“Can we talk?”
And so, we talked.
(Well, he bullshitted, and I listened.)
“I didn’t mean it, any of it, it was just pre-wedding jitters, and I’m sorry.
I know I’m an asshole for complicating things, so can [...]

It’s Only Love..

I came across possibly the most appropriate animation I’ve seen of a song, since.. Well, since forever.

It’s only love. Nothing else.
It’s not enough, and it wont do.
God bless YouTube for providing me with these little gems of animation and music rolled into one perfect package.. :-)

Kiss Me Where It’s Sore..

Once I’d had time for his words to sink in, I stopped being worried, I stopped being concerned that he would make a mistake. And I started being angry with him, for the first time.
Angry that he could have been so selfish. Angry that he opened his enormous man-mouth. Angry with him [...]

To Have, To Hold, To Regret..

My best friend is getting married. (Yes, he beat me to it, the bastard.)
Thank God we wont have to honour our 30-year-old-and-single agreement though (everyone has one of those, right?). The thought of spending the second half of my life sleeping next to his hairy back and loud snoring is enough to tip [...]

A Guide to Recognising, Dealing, and Living with an Utter Twat.

We’ve all dated twats. Some of us have even loved, lived with them. Finally, a Bible for the subculture of women who put up with these incessant idiots, and somehow – still find the energy to love them.
When the other-half moved in, he bought me Zoe McCarthy’s book: My Boyfriend is a Twat: [...]

Ms. Naughty Hates the Money Shot (and so do I!)..

The money shot – arguably the most highly featured ejaculatory scenario in porn. What is it with this visual?
Men may enjoy seeing some scantily clad (if at all) Lolita kneeling before them while they shoot their load all over her submissive little face, but quite frankly – I don’t.
I’d love to say I [...]
