Kate’s allegedly a human (although increasingly right-wing bigots would say otherwise). She’s definitely not a vampire, despite what some other people claim. She’s also mostly built out of spite and overcoming oppositional-sexism, racism, and other random bullshit.
So she’s either a human or a lizard in disguise sent to destroy all of humanity.
Either way, she’s here to reassure that it’s all fine.

The Corporation
I’ve been watching The Corporation. It’s scary. Very, very scary. I know that it’s a advertising is a manipularive and almost omnipresent thing in modern society; but the realisation that individuals running these corporations want us to be greatful for their invasion of our lives, destruction of society and exploitation of third world and poor…

Each 200 words…
…is like drawing blood from a fraking stone. Granted I’ve cooked and eaten dinner, watched a zim, while eating dessert and generally taken a bit of a break. But… 200 words in 2 hours? This is taking forever. I have a horrid feeling this was meant to be written first person, but I’m allergic to…

Past half way
2000 words I thought. Easy I thought. Fuck no. Because (a) this is not a normal essay, and (b) 2000 words is simultaneously too short (I can’t waffle) and too long (I keep coming up with very short ways to say things so as to keep it under 2000 words and then finding, like I…

Memory like a.. what are they called? The things with the holes…
For the third time today I’ve forgotten my laundry. Well, I’ve not forgotten it at the moment, but I suspect now I need to fetch it in 2 hours, I’ll forget about it again. I saw it this morning when I got up and shot out the door to get the money for the delivery…

I’m not normally a pink person…
But… I’ve just got my new frame for the zed. It’s going to have to be stripped back to bare metal and painted… and first I thought ‘chassis black’ for the frame. Then another altogether sillier thought came into my head. I’ve been pondering doing my bike with pink/black zebra stripes. Pondering. And then I…

Believe
In 5 months time, assuming that I complete the process of writing things, I will no longer be a student nurse. I will be a qualified – in the process of registering – nurse. It’s scary. But that, combined with this post has reminded me that I should be pondering my future. Having discovered that…

Starting to get the hang of it now…
It’s funny, I’m starting to get more of a hang of things I can do at work; and I’m getting things done. I mean, actually getting patients treatment; rather than passively doing the job – I’m chasing people, getting people tests, getting people scans, getting things moved on. It’s a good feeling. Even when you’ve…

I know I’ve said it before…
I am exhausted. But this time I think it’s reasonable. Even more reasonable.Let’s start with Monday. Monday was okay. I was more assertive, I had my own patients… but I did something which was potentially silly that I have no desire to go into here at least. It left me feeling a bit crap, really.…
