Stop the Blame Game

The Scarlet B Posted on May 31, 2011 by RaeynMay 31, 2011

I am rolling my eyes today at a school in Scotland. Apparently, they’ve cautioned their students to wear baggy clothing as to be less appealing to pedophiles: Paedophilia warning over King’s Park pupil dress sense http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-13601917 Good job, King’s Park … Continue reading →

Extremism, Vacuums, and Yes Men

The Scarlet B Posted on May 30, 2011 by RaeynMay 30, 2011

That sounds a lot more portentous than it actually is, ha ha. It’s more that one feeds the other in the other and makes all sorts of messy little things, I’ve found, and I was reminded of that earlier today. … Continue reading →

Erm…

The Scarlet B Posted on May 29, 2011 by RaeynMay 29, 2011

There’s not too much on my mind today outside of flopping around and listening to tunes – hooray! I am wondering slightly on why we’re so quick to take offense at things, but then, that’s everyone, and me included in … Continue reading →

Tension

The Scarlet B Posted on May 28, 2011 by RaeynMay 28, 2011

Anyone have any suggestions for tension headaches? Y’know, besides ‘cut your hair’, or ‘use the computer less’ – I’m trying to avoid those two if I can humanly help it! Things I’m trying include: Water (I drink 3-4 liters a … Continue reading →

Whimsy

The Scarlet B Posted on May 27, 2011 by RaeynMay 27, 2011

I apparently have a Shel Silverstein poem in my head today, but I don’t mind. For my generation of Americans, I suspect every one of us grew up with Where the Sidewalk Ends and A Light in the Attic, and … Continue reading →

The F Word

The Scarlet B Posted on May 26, 2011 by RaeynMay 26, 2011

And no, not the cooking show. No, I’m talking about the misunderstood and often maligned one – feminist. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I am one. It’s something I’ve wrestled with for years, because I don’t like … Continue reading →

Four Years Ago

The Scarlet B Posted on May 25, 2011 by RaeynMay 25, 2011

Four years ago today, I was on a plane coming to the United Kingdom for the first time. Four years ago today, I was leaving my old life for a new. Funny how quickly four years passes, eh? Especially considering … Continue reading →

Essential

The Scarlet B Posted on May 24, 2011 by RaeynMay 24, 2011

Every time we have a UK-US government-level powwow, I stand in bemusement at the UK side. The repeated querying as to whether or not the relationship is still valid and important… it’s just… cute? Oh sure, Blair made the British … Continue reading →

Well, Blow Me Away!

The Scarlet B Posted on May 23, 2011 by RaeynMay 23, 2011

It is… windy… today. Very windy – I suspect that if I threw open my windows, I’d be getting blown around the room by it. I could feel it shaking my rollychair yesterday, which was… bemusing. Thankfully, I like the … Continue reading →

Feelin’ Groovy… ish! :)

The Scarlet B Posted on May 22, 2011 by RaeynMay 22, 2011

I am so relieved to be feeling nearly normal… of course, the very second I type that, I see something swim across my eyes – d’oh! But the pressure on my head isn’t quite as bad, even if a tag-end … Continue reading →
