Day 6 – 5 Pet Peeves

Is it my story to tell?
Dear Diary, Having been born with a pen in hand, I ponder, every now and then, an idea of writing a memoir. I honestly have no idea what it is and how to go about it. However, I do believe I have something to say and to share with interested parties. As with any other…
Colder than Snow Queen
Dear Diary, I absolutely had to share this with you. I’ve been watching The Fall (British TVseries) the other night and… as any MA in Critical Literature would do, started comparing Gillian Anderson in X-Files and in The Fall.
