What I do wrong as a woman- the definitive list
This is a personal post about my failings a woman. These things that I am trying to attention are not everywoman’s problem – these are my problems and mine alone. But maybe you’re like me? I would count myself as a feminine woman with a developed masculine side. I look very feminine: I have long, […]
30 irrational things I do when I get PMS
Here is a list of irrational things I do when I get PMS. I get very bad premenstrual syndrome. I get this every single month. I feel that this has been getting worse as I get older and at age 34 I find myself quite irrational and hyper-sensitive for about one and a half weeks […]
Why I love getting naked
Do you want to know why I love getting naked? I have always enjoyed taking off my clothes. This is a post about nudism, not exhibitionism, although I can say that I am an enthusiast of both at times. It’s fine – this post has an M-rating and I am not trying to frighten you […]
Things that are Sweet, Fluffy and Not at all Controversial
Well ho bloody hum, blog readers. You’re lucky I am here at all. Finding no less than three separate people upset by my ramblings yesterday, I am considering shutting this platform down and taking my ramblings elsewhere where I can no longer be found. Why do I even write under a pseudonym? That’s right, Alyce […]
I Look Like a Bimbo – But I’m OK with That
I look dumb. It’s OK – I know this. I have looked a little thick my whole life. Frequently I have been told things such as, “You’re a lot smarter than you look,” or, “Oh, you’re actually quite intelligent,” or, “You’re actually a very clever girl,” usually said with a smirk, raised eyebrow and higher-octave […]
Botox: How I Have Wrinkles and I Don’t Care
I am not a huge fan of plastic surgery and I have been quite vocal about this in the past. Last night I saw a very beautiful woman, she was probably about my age, 34. I actually couldn’t really tell because she had obviously had quite a bit of work done to her face; not […]
Children in 2013: Stressed, Anxious and No Time to Play
In 2013 kids are different to when I was a little tyke in the 80s. There is talk amongst teachers and parents that children today are over-scheduled and have inadequate time to explore the world and their own minds through free play time. Do you agree? I spoke with Teacher Lennie to find out why […]
How Would You Fare in a Zombie Apocalypse? Check This List to Find Out
Do you ever wonder how you would fare in an apocalypse? I do. I am not a morbid person – I just quite like camping and I have often thought about how well I would go if I didn’t have access to running water or a warm bed and how I would feel if the […]
Coffee Cups? Pizza Boxes? Surprizing Things You Cannot Recycle
Everybody loves recycling. Everyone goes mad for it. But people are stupid. They think they can recycle anything and everything. You cannot. Some crazy person put a used paper coffee cup in the recycling bin at my workplace the other day. Madness. Sheer madness. From Greenpeace themselves: “Coffee cups are…not recycled. Every plastic coffee cup […]
Bad Manners on Public Transport: How to Catch a Sydney Train
Public transport: I get it every day and it sucks. I live in the beautiful city of Sydney, Australia. No one can deny how gloriously beautiful Sydney is – but I have one bugbear that I’d like to rant about today. Sydney trains No one likes catching the train to work. If I had my […]
Is President Obama Sexist or am I Being Over Reactive?
A very interesting gaffe was made by President Obama this year, and I say gaffe, but it was obviously a pre-written (and practised) speech that had probably had several writers – and somebody should have picked up his offensive language. Not hugely offensive…more subtly disturbing. What exactly did Obama say? He gave a speech where […]
You Know Those Customers You Want to Kill? Yesterday I Was One…
The day started badly. I knew that I had to have breakfast with the girls from work, and although I admired their efforts towards socialising in the workplace, I hate my morning routine being thrown out. I didn’t want to have to wait until 10am to have my breakfast, so rather than get what I […]
Why I Don’t Mind the C Word, But Don’t You Dare Call Me “Bitch”
I have always had a problem with the word “Bitch”. I don’t like it, and if you feel the same, well hold onto your cotton knickers because it’s going to appear quite a lot in this blog post. The term is so common now; there is even a wiki entry on its origin. Just so […]
