I will happily describe myself as an Aries because it's true on many fronts. I was born April 13th, so just towards the end of the timescale that runs March 21 - April 20 but I'm also relatively typical of the traits of an Aries ( Read more... )

Jade Rachel & I were watching Top Gun earlier. It's one of her favourite movies and neither of us can believe how long its been since the film premiered. 30 years next week. Some parts of it have dated, some parts of it are now nostalgic in their 80s-ness. It's still a damn good film though - and I must say that Tom Cruise in it still makes my ( Read more... )

One of the things I still find most bizarre about having a step-daughter in her late teens, and one who is very smart at that, is some of the more peculiar conversations we have. This evening it was about the demography and diversity of the population in London ( Read more... )

I think I have an 'About Me' page for my website that I'm pretty pleased with. Thank you, all, for your tips and advice. It was very much appreciated.

I've had this blank 'about me' page for my website open all morning with the cursor flashing at me but I haven't been able to get any further than Hi, I'm Eireann. That's usually all I say to start with. I've never really sat down to introduce myself at length before. I can tell you why you should hire me, but that's not really appropriate here ( Read more... )

One of the questions I seem to get asked more than anything is how I can be both Christian and bisexual. 'Oh, you're Christian? But I thought you were gay?' is the usual reaction ( Read more... )
