Why I Will Not Be Accepting Pledges on Vocal
Hello, world of Vocal. I hope you’re all well and are keeping safe during these weird times. I just wanted to touch base and write a little post about Vocal’s new feature: Pledges. And why I will not be partaking in it, or ever accepting pledges from the people who read my work.

There's Something About Uncle Roger
‘Hallo, Niece and Nephew.’ You can just hear that sentence as you read it. And, if you’re anything like me, it’ll bring a smile to your face. The character of Uncle Roger has to be one of the highlights of the past few years. With the bad, comes the good. Well, Covid has been pretty fucking bad, but Uncle Roger has brought a lot of light to these dark times. ‘Haiyaa’ has almost become like medicine to me recently.

I Never Want to go to Sleep Again
My son woke me up this afternoon, all fluttery. He was terrified. Jess has never really had bad dreams. He has a comfortable life. Shelter, all the food he could wish for, and Farmer Michael always makes sure not to disturb us. In fact, when Jeff came along, Farmer Michael always bought us food and made sure we were warm and well looked after.

Tim Curry is A God!
I have been a fan of Tim Curry for as long as I can remember. I grew up watching the likes of The Wild Thornberrys, Barbie in The Nutcracker and Home Alone 2. As I got older, of course, I watched The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and fell even more in love with this God amongst men. No one could convince me he was Darkness, in the 1985 film ‘Legend’. I mean, his voice (more on that later) gave it away, but I refused to believe it.

The One You Can Never Forget
I’ll be honest, the main reason I’m writing this, is more to process things externally, rather than anything else. But, if there are people in the same position and this makes them feel less alone, then that’s great. This may seem dead simple to you and like I’m moaning/writing about nothing, but to me it’s niggling and annoying. Maybe it’s down to in-experience. Who knows?

Barista - It's More Than Just A Job
When you think of jobs that make an impact on the world, you probably wouldn’t even consider a Barista. Honestly, think about it. Top choices are usually doctors, teachers, scientists, etc. But I’m a part time barista and I believe, no, I know, that we have a massive impact on the world.

The Pear Tree
Trees are living things. They grow, they breathe. Without them, we certainly wouldn’t be here. My friend Catherine loved nature. When her and Nick got married, she had a pear tree planted down the bottom of her garden. It was her pride and joy, and she was always so happy when she was able to give baskets of pears away as gifts. Her and Nick carved their initials into the trunk. N and C.

I Hate Having a Crush
Okay, so I know that’s kinda a weird title, because it’s perfectly normal to have a crush. Those butterflies in your stomach, the uncontrollable smile when you see them and the inevitable chewing your friend’s ears off about this new guy/girl. Well… I hate that stuff.

#RiseInPrideTop Story - June 2021
Growing up, I always felt disconnected from family and friends. I’ve never had a boyfriend or girlfriend. I’ve never been sexually attracted to someone. As I grew up, I realised that I am a Cis-gendered woman, whose pronouns are she/her, and that is Asexual, bordering on Demisexual, who is Bisexual under certain circumstances. Basically, whilst I’m not sexually attracted to any gender, if I have a deep connection with someone, there is a potential for me to be aesthetically attracted to them (which is a really fancy way of saying that I can have a crush!).
