Man Pit Xmas Party

In bed with Mrs Woog and Jo

Yes, the inaugural Man Pit Xmas Party was DEBAUCHEROUS! So debaucherous that I have more questions than answers. It seems, in the cold light of post-hangover, that I have many dark spots of recollection. It went for about 10 hours but felt like 30mins. Subsequently I need answers...

Burnt I tell you, burnt out. Both ends burnt to charcoal. You know that old saying about burning the candle at both ends, well I feel the flame from each end has met in the middle and left me as a pile of ash.

The Festive Season is fraught with danger. All that booze, bars and bravado provide a slippery slope to shame and embarrassment. And if anyone knows, I do.

Do you think struggling to take care of myself is a good enough reason to start auditioning for a boyfriend? This is the dilemma I am facing.

Empowered!

Putting yesterday's mortifying tale to the back of our minds, there was an unbelievable amount of good about Saturday's Marriage Equality Rally. The community support was massive and so reassuring, the crowd was at times electric. It was so exciting to be a part of and to share it with some of my … [Read more...]
