We're All Mad Here

It makes me really sad that, in a few years, we will probably have to move back to the midlands to get on the property ladder. Because I don’t want to wait until I’m in my mid-thirties to have kids and there isn’t the space I want at the price I can afford down here.

Unless Antony becomes a rock star of course, and then I can live wherever I want.

Sadface. It’s not that I don’t like the midlands, it’s just that I lovethe south, and the midlands seem a bit… grey… in comparison.

I should have said the weekend before last that my ~official~ part of the Alice project is DONE DONE DONE, but I got so caught up in Antony’s birthday preparations (I made a cake in the shape of his favourite effects pedals. It was as awkward as it sounds) that I forgot. So I’m saying it now.

Except that I agreed to do a tutorial thing on how to make lino-printed sugar cookies which I need to do this week. And then somehow figure out how to fit a tutorial on how to make lino cuts/sugar cookies/royal icing AND how to put them all together into a reasonable number of pages. But that’s cool, I’m sure that can work somehow?

It’s quite exciting really, I haven’t ever seen anyone else do lino prints on cookies so it’s rather nice to bring something new to the desert-table (if anyone out there IS making lino printed cookies and has been doing so for more than four months, sorry, I didn’t mean to step on your toes <3) I saw a lino printed cake once but that’s about it.

I should probably sleep, I am cream crackered and on Tuesdays I have to go to bed before 11:30pm so it seems a shame to sleep in too much in the morning.

(For good measure, this is the birthday cake I made Antony this year:

“Although most boys figure out how to bring themselves to orgasm by age thirteen, half of girls don’t have their first orgasms until their late teens, twenties, or beyond. Teenage girls widely agree that they get the message loud and clear that masturbation is something boys do, but girls don’t, can’t, or shouldn’t. The cultural focus on intercourse tells young women to expect they’ll begin to experience sexual pleasure once they have sex with a man (whether or not they’re even interested in sex with men). Nearly all teen boys, on the other hand, experience sexual pleasure long before they get their hands—or other body parts—into a partner’s pants. Despite the massive advances in women’s equality, young women’s sexuality is stuck in a surprising paradox. Young women are sold provocative clothes but aren’t taught where to find their own clitoris. Many girls give their boyfriends oral sex, but are too uncomfortable with their own bodies to allow the guys to return the favor. It’s still a radical act to say that women need and deserve access to information about their own sexual pleasure—not just about the risks and negative consequences of sex.” —Dorian Solot, I Love Female Orgasm: An Extraordinary Orgasm Guide.

T minus 14 weeks until I never have to do retail work again.

(Not that I’m looking forward to it, or anything.)
