Wet Hot American Bummer!
my best friend died when we were twenty-four. trouble was, i wasn’t there at the time. i was off 'round at mine, which is in part why i felt so bad about it. i couldn't do anything to save him. not that i knew what was going on. that and the fact that it wasn’t his fault. got caught up in a dui. the person who did it never came forward. they found him the next morning. said he would’ve lived if they called the cops. ended up haemorrhaging to death behind the wheel. coughing up blood and choking on it until no end.

Pages For Her by Sylvia Brownrigg
After reading Carol by Patricia Highsmith, the next book on my priority list was Pages For Her by Sylvia Brownrigg. I came across this book by going through LGBTQ+ recommendation lists on YouTube and Goodreads. Along with Carol and Tell it to the Bees, this book was one that often came up. Work gave us all a £50 love2shop voucher as a thank you for all our hard work during the pandemic. The voucher worked with Waterstones, the only bookstore in Banbury, and I picked it up there. I had heard excellent things about this good, and I was hoping this would be an enjoyable read.

It'd Be Easier If I Didn't Love Her
"Love will turn you into a stranger if it goes wrong," my friend blurted out loudly, shocking me initially. The clock had struck midnight about three years back. and her cheeks were stained with tears. Even though I couldn't see her, I knew, and the darkness in her that drove to cover the sole light in the moon above us emerged out of her chest.

Young Love with John and Raphael in The Kiss
Raphael’s Point of View I tried to focus on my homework, I had plenty of time to work on it, but bad things happen when I leave work until the last minute. My baseline high anxiety can become almost debilitating if I’m low on time. My dorm was also empty and quiet. My roommate, and long-term boyfriend, John, was at a party on the first-floor common area of the dorm. I decided to get some coffee at an on-campus café. As I reached the front of the building, I heard the music from the party. Despite my better judgment, I decided to go in for a minute.

Craig Puranen Wilson
I am updating this to include it in the Vocal Home Town Heroes Challenge. and the Represnted Challenge. Craig was an amazing person who brought so many people together, encouraged and helped people who need it, and is the subject of and upcoming film aimed at promoting a positive, caring image of Newcastle. I have been interviewed for the film, and will possibly be performing a song I wrote unspired by Craig / Sheena when we lost him/her. The challenge is sponsored by The Mentor Group.

The Night Call
The flashing lights of the 711 were casting their yellowish hues on the sidewalk in front of its entrance, not reaching high enough to touch the dusty orange, green and red sign above. But, although unwillingly, they did manage to caress Peter’s back, who was sitting on a low brickwork a couple of feet away. Just like the clerk inside the shop he was scrolling through the games on his phone, opening and closing them with his phone muted, not attempting to play any of them. This search for distraction was going on for a quarter at least, and one empty can of beer was laying on the ground beneath him while the new one, still covered in melted drops of ice, was standing on his side.

Wish you well. Top Story - October 2021.
I remember feeling the dramatic pinch against my skin the minute the bullet struck me. It felt like a thick nail, surrounded by a fireball, had entered inside of me with no plan of escaping. I remember the cold wisp of air that escaped my lips on impact and the noticeable arch in my back as I began to collapse.

Growth Crying
Tonight I find myself in AW of myself and my life. My three boys are running around the house after a day at the pumpkin patch, not as glamorous as you think lol, but hey we got the pumpkins so that is a SUCCESS. Staring at two baskets of laundry, stressed about things I never thought I would GET TO BE stressed about.

The Trials and Tribulations of LGBTQ Dating. Top Story - October 2021.
"We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it." - John Lennon
