Since last year, we have had 121 reported deaths. That’s this many:

Trans Manor

at 6:24 am

Current Mood: Sad & TiredI’m on the train back to my mum’s at the moment. With no Internet and no writing inspiration, I may as well blog. Hooray for PyRoom!
I’ve been visiting friends from Uni for the past week. Trans Manor, they call their house, for the simple reason that all four residents are [...]

So I came out to my brother yesterday…

at 11:45 pm

So I came out to my brother yesterday. I was going to do it a long time ago in person but… I could never start the conversation. So a few weeks ago I arranged for some train tickets to be delivered to me here. Addressed to Lucy. The plan was for him to see the [...]

The Railcard

at 8:00 pm

Current Mood: TiredFirstly… Swansea has too many hill! Lucys are allergic to hills.
However, hill traversal was necessary, for I had to go get my railcard today (or I can’t collect and use my train ticket tomorrow). Twiggy signed it this morning while I was still in bed, then Jessikat and I went into Swansea city [...]

In which Lucy comes out to her grandparents

at 5:38 pm

Over a year ago, I made the mistake of having sign-for post intercepted by my grandpa. With a pseudonym. My old username (which I will not tell you. Ever). This is the very reason that username has bad connotation for me, and why I made the switch to strawberryutopia in the first place.
You’d think I’d [...]

On labels

at 7:30 pm

When I first started writing this a few days ago, I had no idea it would get so… epic. I’d like to think I was coherent, but that’s not exactly something I’m well known for. Anyway, enjoy!

I don’t like labels. Sure, they’re useful in some circumstances. I want to know straight away if I’m going [...]

That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet

at 1:47 pm

Current Mood: BoredI should really be revising. Meh. I’ll do it… later.
However, I thought I’d post something that I’ve been musing upon for the past… well, few minutes really. Kinda copied from my comment someone else’s blog, but I feel like saying it here too.
I’m starting to slowly become disconnected with bernard (newcommers, click here [...]

On nouns and adjectives

at 12:08 am

Some people don’t know that there is a difference between a noun and an adjective. A noun is what we call a thing. An adjective describes a quality of the thing.
For example, a person can be a Briton and a person can be British. Those two may seem to mean the same, that the person [...]
