181. What are your greatest sources for wisdom? Old people. 182. When you were little, where did your parents tell you babies come from?

Circles
I’m doing the whole stressing-out-about-a-predicted-outcome-that-may-not actually-come-true thing again. And of course it’s about university because some of the biggest personal struggles I experience are related to my academic insecurities. It’s really rather exhausting going through this every time I have to write an essay, no matter how many words it is. I’m trying very hard… Read more »
Birthday Shoutout + The 5000 Question Survey: Pt 9
I would like to give a loud, warbling-and-possibly-awful-but-well-meaning rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’ to the marvellous Holly! I hope you have a fantastic day and get to spend it with great people.

The 5000 Question Survey: Pt 6
It’s Sunday evening; it’s Father’s Day; it’s cooling down after a deliciously warm day; it’s time for a wine and something to kill my current boredom. I could be studious and work on assignments, but frankly, I can’t be bothered. Plus, I don’t think my brain would cope — I’m nearly asleep! 101. What does… Read more »
The 5000 Question Survey: Pt 5
81. If you (and everyone) had to lose one right or freedom, but you could pick which one everyone had to lose, what would you pick? Consumption of meat (including birds), fish, shellfish.
