Sense and irresponsibility



I have some worrying news....


I seem to have become, erm, sensible. Consider the evidence:

  • I carry an umbrella with me 90% of the time. This from the girl who used to laugh in the face of rain.
  • I wear a coat most of the time when outdoors. This from the girl who used to laugh in the face of cold weather.
  • I religiously drink 2 litres of water a day and get a minimum of 3 portions of fruit and veg a day. This from the girl who used to laugh in the face of health. IN YOUR FACE, HEALTH.
  • I get in from work, have dinner, have a bath, put my pyjamas on and am usually in bed by 10pm. This from the girl who used to laugh in the face of sleep.


I cannot lie. That list frightens me. But then I remember a few things about myself and feel comforted, if somewhat slightly ashamed:

  • I cannot wire a plug. In your face, electricity and DIY.
  • I cannot change a car tyre. In your face, road worthiness.
  • I cannot iron. In your face, non creased clothing.
  • I still like to go out, get uproariously drunk and cause mischief, as I fully intend to do tonight. In your face, sobriety.



I feel better now.
