Yesterday I was hanging out at home, just chilling and had a pang of, well I’m not sure what you’d call it. Not quite homesickness, not quite nostalgia, not quite a pining, I just thought “Awwww, I wish I could just pop and see [my friend] Karl for a cup o tea”. Karl used toContinue reading “A year in people #29 – Karl”

A year in people #19 – Gary
Awkward teenager. That was me. And Gary. He was also an awkward teenager. Not that I realised it, to me he was just my brother’s slightly annoying friend and seemingly quite confident.

Jonny Marine: Part 2
Continued from Part One… Regardless of what it actually was, the fact still remained that we weren’t really together. So I went on to have that perfect week in New Zealand with Johnny #2 and knew things would probably figure themselves out one way or another. And so, less than two weeks after landing backContinue reading “Jonny Marine: Part 2”
Aging
I found a grey hair the other day. I don’t think it’s my first, it’s just the first one I’ve really noticed, probably because it’s near the front of my head. Last summer I looked in the mirror and saw what I thought were really blond hairs, just a few of them, and I wasContinue reading “Aging”
