That was not my mother.
I went dress shopping with my mum today at Oxford Street. We were passing the exit of a tube station, so we were suddenly thrust into this small crowd and split up a little. I saw her jacket and linked the arm, walking about thirty or so yards until I turned to ask her the time. It was not my mother. I didn’t know what to do because it was really busy and the other woman didn’t look...
Have any of you had any new followers whose blogs take you to that Tumblr IQ Society blog? I looked it up and quite a few have, but I was just wondering about followers.

dleahh asked: Maybe it's not only about the pig's penis, it seemed that the penis only proved successful when slapped (LOL.) against Jude's ear.
I agree though, courting seems much more simplistic than we've made it. Who knows: maybe in 10 years time we will be using an array of animal genitals as ways to covey our emotions?
(I sincerely hope not... Just sayin')

Clearly modern-day consumerism is doing Valentine's wrong!

Today's English exam:
Any comment possible is completely overshadowed by the fact that I spent an hour and fifteen minutes trying to work out why I was reading about a severed pig’s penis being thrown at someone’s ear in an exam on love/seduction in literature.

So, Penn Badgley is playing Jeff Buckley in the...
I’m still trying to work out how I feel about this.
I don’t even like the idea of a proper biopic but … well, it’s Jeff Buckley; I won’t let myself not watch.

Day Twenty-Eight The month you were happiest this year, and why.
Probably February. Well, I say that, but I can’t actually distinguish between these past several months. I just remember certain moments and they happen to be in February. I had friends over on Valentine’s Day and I remember feeling a lot closer to them after. It was a case of being really good friends with people, and...

All the time. I wore my favorite earrings to work once and folks were alarmed. Lots of side-eyes and backhanded compliments that day! Then one of the white women I work with found some fake bamboos at Forever 21 all of a...

Anon asked:
What’s wrong with cultural appropriation? I mean, I know it’s bad, but I need this one kind of spelled out for me. Is it always bad? Are some cases worse than others? I want to be a good anti-racist, but I fear I’m not educated enough.

Day Twenty-One Something you can’t seem to get over
Myself.
No, I’m not sure. There are lots of things actually, but I don’t know whether or not they would count; they still affect me, but not in nearly as negative a way as they did before. I had some really questionable friends when I was about fourteen/fifteen. They did a bunch of stupid stuff that made me feel really...

This will forever be my favourite MLID:
Today, my mom decided to pull a white-parent move and grounded me. Four and a half minutes later, she couldn’t take it anymore so she came into my room and hit me with a chappal. MLID
- My Life is Desi
I just asked my mum if she’d like some tea, to which she replied: “No thank-you, and please don’t leave getting married until too late. I have to tell you these things now in case you find someone at uni, and it’ll be too far gone for me to teach you.”
That was relevant.

Panic and drain, then add boiling water.
Drain again and then drop on plate, cooker, and kitchen counter.

just visited.
There was a man delivering something for my mum (who was in the shower), but I didn’t know and ignored the doorbell, which isn’t very nice, but I was changing some bedsheets and tangled up and I wasn’t dressed enough to face the outside world. The doorbell rang again, and really, it couldn’t have been an emergency if they waited so long to ring once more.

Day Seventeen Things that make you scared
I had a list already prepared, and then I realised that they’re more things that make me really uncomfortable. So, really thinking about it:
The thought of somebody standing at the foot of my bed at night
Anything involving little girls in white dresses with eerie smiles. Throw in a slow wave and I’m near enough done.
The thought of being...

I want to be a secondary school teacher.
Everybody knows, though I don’t think many know how much. There’s so much to list in terms of reasons why.
I want to talk about a subject I love five days a week, several hours a day. I want to go over lesson plans in the morning and spend evenings with a desk full of sheets of A4, finding out what thirty or so fourteen year olds make of a policy or a writer’s language. I want...
