Well, for anyone who I sense is reading, there’s the cringe/embarrassment of people reading my journal and the imbalance of sharing … plus I feel like if I want to write to someone as busy as a leading political or media figure, I should have something to say that is worth writing.
Which I have. I write to Paddy and Chlöe occasionally, and I emailed Grant Robertson recently about the alcohol bill.
Plus I wrote to Sinead Boucher during a mania. 😅
-
As for Claire Riddell: well, I just barely know her, because cousins on different Islands is pretty estranged.
I wrote to my Grandma this week, though.
-
I feel that my move of cutting ties with my fam and retreating into my mind was safer than my twin’s choices, and that it was effective creatively as well.
-
I miss the feeling of freedom I had pre-Covid.
And the first lockdown: which was when I started regularly drinking as part of my process.
I had a blast! 🍺
I have low tolerance for alcohol, so I’m a moderate drinker (4-8 standards is a regular session for me).

Tbh I was generally stoned for the 2020 Election Campaign, and I had a bottle of whisky that I eventually finished.
My comments were reactions to the ‘no’ team, and that’s why I use their rhetoric from time to time: it seemed to help resonate with those people, and I definitely changed some minds with my approach. 🍃
-
Covid was a low-key experiment with mass surveillance, and I think that’s where some of the opposition to the lockdowns came from.
Personally, I was all for the lockdowns, and was advocating the traffic lights during Winter 2022. 🚦
-
As for my rants: I’d say the same things. I’m a gossipy bitch, much like the writers I admire.
And I rather enjoy antagonising people I like - I reckon that until one has had a fight with one’s friends, the friendship isn’t ‘official.'
Friends are people you like, even when they’re flawed or disagreeable. 👍

I sorta presume that the fuzz read my blog, so I use it as a venue for my political activism. Plus I sorta figure my family keeps track of my blog, which is why I filled in some backstory. It could all be paranoia, but that's part of my shtick. I write as if the world is watching (regardless of whether they really are 🍃), and that seems to be working well.
