Why Were You Looking Up The NHS's Advice On Sex In Pregnancy?
Just realised I don't think I've ever told this story here: once upon a time, my mum made the mistake of trusting my dad to set up her Facebook profile. He set her relationship status as 'It's Complicated' for his own amusement, then went, 'Wait, no, all our friends are going to see that and they're going to talk; better change it to "Married".'
So he did.
Naturally, Facebook informed all her friends, '[Riona's Mum] has gone from a complicated relationship to married.'
She got a lot of responses saying 'Congratulations!' and 'Does your husband know?'
A handful of notes I've found scribbled down in my diary:
How would society have developed differently if, rather than going to the loo, people had a medical need to sing the Backstreet Boys classic 'I Want It That Way' every four hours or so?
Sometimes you learn a cool fact and you want to share it with people, and all anyone wants to know is 'why were you looking up circumcision rates in different countries, Riona? Why do you know so much about French incest law, Riona?' (The answer, incidentally, is almost always 'fanfiction research'.)
Note to self: don't ask [friend] if they're going to put food up their arse any more.
On an entirely different note, the poorly drawn spider is still dispensing writing tips! It hasn't covered all the topics you guys requested, I'm afraid, but the blog's settled into a weekly update schedule, so it'll get there. If you like writing advice but hate good illustrations, this may be the blog for you.
