can’t remember, but I DO receive a yearly “wasn’t sure what to get that you can eat! Wait can you eat eggs? You’re not vegan, right— Just no meat? OHH thank god! *almost has a heart attack*“ monologue (also.. my experimental g&t‘s I politely make for everyone even though the target audience is ME)
We're nearly there #SecretSantaAoNZ just two more sleeps (unless you're a midnight opener)
How about a question? What's a must have food? Ham? Turkey? An apricot in the stocking? Shortbread? Brandy cream? Trifle? BBQ? Seafood?

Me to the uncle who definitely didn’t have gunpowder tea gin and earl grey elderflower tonic with minerals from the Swedish highlands as a drink option during the eras of Muldoon and Rogernomics: “Ohh not your thing? You‘ll just have a beer instead? More for me, I guess!! Ha ha oh no tee hee“
When you see Jehovah’s Witnesses on the street and stare at them.. not because you’re interested, but because you’re nosy and judgemental and then they think it’s the former instead of the latter😑😑😑😑

Many moments made me think “FILM SCENE IDEA” ..also the daughters of the couple celebrating “we’re officially step-sisters now YAYYYY” was so cute.. Something so special about the “gaining step siblings in their 50s/60s” thing.. cant put my finger on it.. (Need to write that into the script!)

Went to the most beautiful wedding yesterday.. IM THE LAST PERSON TO GET SENTIMENTAL AT ONE CUZ USUALLY ID GO “EW MARRIAGE, EW CHURCH.. IM HERE FOR THE BOOZING AND SOCIALISING,” but it was so lovely.. The couple were both widowed and in their 80s and I’m feeling SO inspired to write it into a script

Chucking this protein shake into a guinness glass so I can (unsuccessfully) gaslight myself into thinking that it does not taste like straight up drywall.. (Do not hit me with the “ermmm if it tastes so foul, why are you drinking it??!” I really do not have a choice…)

Going to a party with old mates from when I was in the Young You-know-whats… They still don’t know I’m a judas.. (Okay, navy blue looks REALLY good on me.. Imagine if I pursued my childhood dream of becoming a Nats MP.. their loss)

This is how you know it was at someone else’s gaff and not mine bc it’d 110% be gin instead of vodka. Anyway.. the alka seltzer I am drinking right now is pretty useless bc I’m gonna go have a few more (free will is a double edges sword, bc I really CAN just “go and have a few” whenever I want)
Local woman (me) finds out (already knew and been there done that many times but never learned) that getting absolutely tits-deep in all sorts of wines, whiskey, and vodka results in the type of hangover where you feel as if you need to be put in a padded cell, away from the general public

This morning I woke up hungover and then went back to sleep and had the most VIVID dream ever (I don’t usually dream vividly) about a g&t right up until when I woke up, and I was especially thirsty and hot and bothered. She’s calling to me…… appearing in my dreams etc..

Idling around in the wine store like: Nooooo I’m all good, I don’t need help.. I’m just waiting for someone to reply to my “red or white?” text!!

Am blaming the patriarchy, not the women.. @ anyone who says “it’s women who impose unrealistic beauty standards onto other women!!”
I don’t know what’s so appealing about wanting to look 18 when you’re almost 40… 20s, I can understand (unfortunately.. It’s sad that women can’t just accept that ageing is natural) but 18 is just ridiculous

“It’s her choice! Stop judging what a woman chooses to do!” Okay but I think we need to put our thinking caps on and be able to criticise some women’s choices and what leads said women to make them, because is every choice a woman makes a good one?
Let yourself age omfg it’s not unnatural???? Also of course you’re not gonna look like a 20 something y/o at 47.. THAT’S unnatural. Women are never gonna be free, it seems😀

“New year, new me… I’m totally cutting down!!” oink oink oink huge arse porky pie from me🐖🐖🐖🐖
Thankfully the doctor isn’t one of those institutions you legally can’t tell big fat porky pies to (I THINK… don’t quote me on this) because I definitely do not drink less than 12 standards a week

Year of the elderly British Michaels again
Also the other day, one of my film friends messaged me “We need to shoot a scene that’s set at an old person’s house… Can we pretty please use your place???” …okay, I guess if friend groups have “the mum friend,” I’m gonna have to accept my fate as the grandma of the group, now…
Last night, all the other five of my friends who were with me got ID’d at the pub, whereas I was the only one who didn’t… New year, old ancient elderly geriatric me.. I guess
