A diary entry from when I was 14, on the German Exchange. I went to a PARTY and was simultaneously excited by the presence of alcohol and drugs, but weirdly judgemental when my friends got drunk. VERY cool day. We went to Phantasia land which is like Alton Towers. It was pretty cool. I didn’t…
Background: I was 13, and on the way home from the fair, I met a boy. The best day of my life!! Today was the fair. We saw [some 6th formers that my friends and I fancied] outside the Crown. I went with Becky and Louise. I couldn’t believe what happened on the way home though!…
I’ve been really struggling recently, with missing the Great Scot. I feel about 5% heartbroken by him. I like him so much and I feel hurt we haven’t ended up being friends. He has rejected my friendship. I wonder if partly, I’m pining for him more right now, because I’ve just moved house. Everything is…
A ‘wank seance’ – when masturbating, accidentally summoning up the image of a dead relative. Then, not being able to dismiss the image of them looking on, disapprovingly, at what you’re doing. A work friend introduced me to that term, and I found it funny. However, last week, I experienced something even worse. Last Saturday…
I had such a great time when I met the Great Scot for a drink, just as friends. The night had everything tons of sexual chemistry so much fun, laughter and joking sharing music, TV and film recommendations, feeling like we had loads in common intimate, deep, personal chat about difficult experiences we’d each had…
Two days after I met the Abrasive Uber passenger, I had my first drink with the Great Scot as just friends, instead of lovers. A few hours before we were due to meet, he sent me this text: Oh for fuck’s sake! Initially, I skim-read the message and thought he was cancelling, but then read…
Have you ever had a boyfriend or girlfriend, and felt like their ex cast a shadow over your relationship? It can feel like you’re living with a ghost. Even if they don’t want to get back together, the ex can still feel like an unbeatable rival. I’ve got two stories about this. The first was…
Oh dear. I’m a wreck this morning. Last night I had a brilliant night out. I went out with some new-ish girl friends to a great club. It was a great night. The girls were great, the music was great, everything was great. And I was on fucking fire on the dancefloor. When I rejoined…
Recently, I met up with my friend, Ruth, for the first time in ages. Ruth is a legend – a bit unreliable but infinitely supportive and compassionate, and hilarious. We met when I was her supervisor, several years ago. Recently, she said “being friends with you is like the bit in the Wizard of Oz,…
I am playing with fire. And you’d think I’d know better, given my past experiences with house fires. I’ve been debating whether to write about this, as I’m embarrassed. A few weeks ago I wrote about James – the guy I was friends with in 2011 and we ended up having naked fun a few…
