Dreaming In Text: My Symbolic Life
http://odyllicforce.blogspot.com/2014/06/my-symbolic-life.html
The blog of UK children's/YA writer Brian Keaney. Wednesday, 11 June 2014. Yesterday, I had to go into hospital for an operation to repair an inguinal hernia. Today is one of the days my wife and I look after our grandchildren. My daughter emailed me to say that she had explained to two year old Noah that they wouldn't be going to grandma and grandpa's today because grandpa was poorly. I can clearly recall how I spent all of my childhood and young adult years in a furious battle to be seen as an individu...

At Yellow Lake and Other Places: Happy Brave New Year
http://janemcloughlin.blogspot.com/2013/12/happy-brave-new-year.html
At Yellow Lake and Other Places. A blog by children's writer Jane McLoughlin. At Yellow Lake Reviews. Tuesday, 31 December 2013. Happy Brave New Year. It's been a quiet time on the blog, what preparations for the holidays, trying to forge ahead with a new work-in-progress, and batting away the agents of creative despair and self-doubt that have been winging their way to me with alarming regularity. But on the outside, I'll be all "Yes, of course! And no one will know that my "inner marshmallow" is quiver...

Plentymorefishoutofwater - One Man's Dating Diary: A Date with Depression
http://www.plentymorefishoutofwater.com/2009/09/date-with-depression.html
A Date with Depression. Get chatting to this girl on Facebook - Joanna. A common interest in politics, three inches shorter than me - this could be it. A tad intense, mind. Offers her number, then initiates seven text conversations in one day. Next I get an email with some of her artwork. Bit weird. Turns out she has an unhealthy interest in dead celebrities. It's a little awkward at first. She won't make eye contact and I pick up an unpleasant odour: Dettol. Least she's got her glasses on. My feet hurt ...

Plentymorefishoutofwater - One Man's Dating Diary: The Shower Cap Date (1 of 4)
http://www.plentymorefishoutofwater.com/2009/12/shower-cap-date.html
The Shower Cap Date (1 of 4). Took my hairdresser for drinks. Here's what happened:. Weatherman reckons it's going to rain. Text Emma asking her to bring a brolly - don't want my hair getting wet. We're meeting at the train station in town. I arrive first. iPod's out of battery. Leave one earphone in anyway - make me look hip. The huge glass ceiling is covered in bird droppings. Constellations start to emerge - it's like staring at the stars. Just been looking at the pigeon poo,". I say, to break the ice.

The New Trainers (2 of 4). Taking the hairdresser for a curry tonight. Second date. Planning on bringing her back to mine after. Check bedside cabinet for condoms. The packet's full. Spot some old fungal cream - best hide that. Sling my sheets in the washer. Hopefully she'll be doing this for me soon. My trainers look a bit scruffy. Think I'll head to town for some new ones - if I. Have a nice evening it's a good investment. Another time. x. Finally send a casual message back. Hey, no worries. Hope t...

Poetry and Pornography: Breaking the 'rules'
http://poetryandporn.blogspot.com/2011/06/breaking-rules.html
Monday, 27 June 2011. Photo: Akif Hakan Celebi. 65279; It’s been a while since my last post but I hope it was worth waiting for! I’ve given up on on-line dating all together in favour of more active ways of meeting men. I want to shape my own destiny. Take it in my own hands. Feel the life running through my veins. There is something about meeting people on the street that is perceived as not a ‘serious’ way of gaining the potential partner. I can’t say it was totally conscious deci...How to chat up men.

Poetry and Pornography: The beginning
http://poetryandporn.blogspot.com/2011/07/miss-secretary-and-her-boss-two-days.html
Friday, 1 July 2011. Photo: Akif Hakan Celebi. Sometimes we just can't imagine how honesty can change the reality. My sister is coming to Brighton at the weekend and I have to meet her early Saturday morning. Can we postpone our Friday conference for another time? I lay on my bed and think of what to reply. I should tell him to go to hell but my heart sinks. It meant so much to finally see him again. Oh, I was really looking forward to seeing you. You’ll need to make it up to me big time! Keep in on ice?
