A Christmas Story Which I Procrastinated Finishing Until After Christmas

December 30, 2001

Since my parents learnt that Adam was more than a flatmate and I was more than a sad individual leading a futile girl-less life, he’s been embraced wholeheartedly as part of the family.

Before I’d met Adam, I’d only really gone out with one other [...]

Putting Effort Into It

December 3, 2001

Straining against the onslaught of gale-force wind, I squinted up the hill ahead of me. The monstrous building towering over me was obviously my stationing for the day.
