You’re not going to believe this, but I’m at a car service again. This time, at least, it’s not because of any actual issues with my vehicle. After my trip to Adelaide, I was ready to settle back into my normal routine of being mad at my publisher for not letting me keep writing my […]

I am so so upset. My birthday was absolutely ruined by my parents who didn’t get me a new car as a gift as they had always promised. Last night around the time of my birthday speeches, my parents drove right up to the venue and started honking. My parents weren’t actually invited to my […]

I was listening to the radio and eating a trio of dips this afternoon while driving my car. I know that it’s not good to eat and drive and I have definitely learnt my lesson. Not only am I currently covered in a trio of dips as a result of eating and driving, I have […]
