I just got some very sudden, potentially earth-shaking news. I feel like everything around me is changing in a major way, and it's a wonderful thing for those involved (which means indirectly good for me too), but... I HATE CHANGE!!!!!!!!!...

Yvonne

Very recently, when I crashed my car and was worried about not having enough money, some of you, my readers, offered to help me out. I was touched and astounded by your generosity; it was something I'd never expected. As...

That guy had better consider himself lucky

Today was just one of those days when everything was blah. I sat in front of my computer screen and felt blah. I didn't even want to write emails or post to my blog, or read other blogs. Then I...

Even more change

I am back from camp. I am also facing the possibility of even more change. (Nothing to do with camp... the timing coincided, that's all). And I HATE CHANGE. Even when it is good!!! On the other hand, the camp's...

Talkers & Listeners

A friend commented last night that some people tend to be pretty self-absorbed. Proving her right -- or so I thought -- I promptly asked, "Am I self-absorbed?" "No, I think you want to know people as much as you...

The writing life

Somehow people seem to think that just coz I'm a journalist, I have some sort of clout. Like, I can somehow review their book or attend the event they're organising or check out something they or one of their friends...

Is it me, or does this seem to be a recurring theme?

This afternoon. Car trouble. AGAIN. So I turned a corner and the left front wheel started making this horrid loud clanking and creaking noise. Kinda as if the car was YELLING for help. Or complaining, "Sunflower, you've grown entirely too...

Temporary camera fixation

Last night I actually went to bed at the shockingly early hour of 9:45pm, coz I was soooooo tired. (Being sick seems to have that effect on most people. Yes, I have to remind everybody that I'm sick ) Then...

Nail-biting time
