Nerd Church - A Letter To My Younger Self
(Warning: this post contains references to suicidal thoughts and feelings, as well as brief references to grief, depression, abusive/toxic friendships, and the general randomness of my life.)
I'd been thinking of doing one of these things for a while - y'know the 'Hi little 15-year-old Cee, this is the advice I'd give you!' kind of things.
Then, between my birthday on Friday (no, I'm not telling you how old I am - it ain't happening,) and reading blogpost ideas by Jemma @ Dorkface, which suggested writing a letter to your younger self, I was like - IT'S A SIGN!!!!!!!!!*
*Yes, there was coffee. Also, my parents are hippies.

Friday Fics Fix - Birthday!
It's my birthday today!!!! (Woo!)
That means, under the rules of birthdays, I'm allowed to pick a totally self-indulgent fic for this week's post. That may be unfair, but I don't make the rules*
*OK, I do - but that's because it's my birthday! (That's one of the rules!)

Micropoetry - August 2017
I wrote three pieces of micropoetry in August, and somehow they seem a little... different to what I usually write...?
I think I like them though - they're strong (if I do say so myself, lol.)
Whether they're good is another question; decide for yourself:

Nerd Church - How To Disagree With Someone Without Being a Jerk
(Warning: this post contains jerky/not smooth-moving gifs which may effect people with photosensitive conditions.)
(Warning: this post contains references to bigotry and Nazis.)
The only person you're ever going to 100% agree with all of the time is yourself - and if you're anything like me, that doesn't always work either.

So sometimes, you're gonna disagree with people you like (not to mention the people you don't like,) over big things and little things alike.

Month in Review(s) - August 2017
August. Yeah, August...
August, for me, was stressful.
My 88-year-old grandfather was very unwell and ended up in hospital, he's better now but we still have to do a lot to make sure he and my grandmother are safe, happy, and as healthy as they can be.
