This certainly wasn’t how I pictured my dream wedding, but sometimes you just have to be happy with what you’ve got. For most of my life, it’s been impossibly expensive grape juice and silver platters, servants and maids. Not today. Today, it’s a greasy floor and a wedding dress made out of leaves. And honestly, …
Lightning crackled from the tips of my fingers as I hung in the air above the city I loved, gazing down at the relentless parade of lights and sounds, honking and braking, the cacophony of the uninspired masses– ‘Hey, are you Lightning Boy?’ I turned around in the air, looking for who’d shouted that. A …
I’m doing major renovations to my home. We just got our bathroom redone which is fantastic, and it’s inspired us to make home improvements elsewhere in our house. We’re trying to do all these renovations on a budget. It’s not super tight but we don’t want to spend unnecessary money if we don’t have to. …
So it turns out, my dear readers, that I will need surgery after all. I know! Who knew so much could go wrong with one shoulder! Luckily, my doctor is taking good care of me and I’ve done a lot of research to help calm myself down, so I thought I may as well share …

It was a rosy-cheeked thing, swaddled in blankets with a fresh slash across its forehead in the shape of a lightning bolt. Tucked into its wrappings was a stern letter that explained that the baby boy …
I am very into learning new things and increasing my overall general knowledge.

Often when I am undertaking my individual studies, I like to study …
I wish I had some bubblegum. Bubblegum always helps me make decisions. Three years ago when I was fifteen I was tasked with choosing subjects for senior school. Well, now I’m choosing courses for next year. I’m in year twelve at the moment and I am trying to make the decision on whether to follow …
After months of careful practice, Julia passed her driving test last week with flying colours. As a congratulatory gift, her parents gifted her a car – blue, shiny, compact, but most of all, affordable. It was a second-hand car, as Julia’s parents didn’t think it wise to give a new luxury model to a teenager. …
I’ve been given the difficult task of writing about internet problems and how to fix them. For the people who actually understand this stuff that might not seem too difficult, but for me, it’s like trying to learn to swim in a swamp filled with crocodiles. Okay, that wasn’t the best analogy but I’m sure …
I’m really hungry and it’s almost lunchtime. I’m going out with my friends on my lunch break, which I think is making me even more hungry. I think I’m hungry to socialise and I’m hungry to eat. The anticipation has got me on the edge of my seat. Something that’s really awesome though, is that …
