| 15 Mar 10 | Hull and Humber Poets (7) | (15 Mar 10, 8:49 PM by sparklygreen) |
| So anyone who knows me knows that two of my passions are my home town of Hull and poetry. Therefore i thought it long overdue to write a blog about the two. It seems apt to write it here in March, as Stevie Smith (who was born in Hull, but lived most of her life in London) died on the 7th March 1971. [more...]

| 5 Mar 10 | La mia collottola (8) | (6 Mar 10, 10:49 PM by mia) |
| Ok, so 'collottola' is more 'scruff of the neck' than 'collar', but nearly all the words for collar in Italian are masculine, so i'd not have been able to use my name in the title - something a punmonger like me enjoys doing. Anyway, on with the blog. [more...]

| Mum meeting time... Fingers crossed this means lots of awkward questions, lots of awkard silences, lots of awkward giggles and much more importantly, lots of yummy fish and chips. Oh no. Wait. Just the latter please. [more...]

| 26 Jan 10 | The Balance (8) | (30 Jan 10, 2:04 AM by totallycoverme) |
| Starting a relationship is a balancing task. I'd love someone to wave a magic wand and to find myself in an established, secure relationship that manages to capture all the fun stuff that the start brings with it; the passion, the intrigue, the right-level-of-awkwardness (that Miss Allen sings about) and the glazed look that people notice and wonder if you're happy or off your head on poppers (before the headachey stuff).

| 15 Jan 10 | From Philip Larkin to Carol Ann Duffy (15) | (17 Jan 10, 9:25 PM by mia) |
| 'Next, Please' has kind of been the sound track to my life for the last couple of months. Fuck that actually, the last half of a year. I've not been looking for anything, but in the back of my mind i've been hoping that the gods of fate would hear that and sort something out. You know about that old chestnut that you only ever 'find' people when you're not looking. But things had got silly. I'd given up “giving up” and had actually, literally, given up. [more...]
