I’m at the don’t want to die but don’t see the point of living either part of this depressive episode which is nice

One perfect baked potato could revolutionise your life and if you don't believe me I just hope you find your potato soon

I am a real blonde. Don’t ever assume I’m a stupid one.

Composed of nothing but nerves.

some of you have never headed down the atlanta highway looking for the love getaway and it shows

no one knows what’s going to happen. dinosaurs could sprout up again. it’s just that kind of year

I don’t know what I’m doing but I do know that I’m doing it badly

Got lost, but did see a field full of horses and find a bar of chocolate in my bag so all in all it was a pretty fun adventure

my toxic trait is forgetting the plot to a movie five seconds after I’ve finished it

I am not trying to be weird. I am trying to be normal. I’m just not great at it.

I’m a 10 (if it’s out of 100)

I call my boobs Bruce and Willis because they too are hairless, always ready for action and look good in vests

They should have emergency cheese trucks

I wanna rock with you, but not all night. That's unrealistic.

No bitch, you need more glitter.

It's literally none of my business if you get my jokes or not

Exercise is hard. Cake makes exercise better. Cake makes everything better. Cake. The end.

Ice cream for breakfast because if the world is ending I’m going out on a high

*crosses a day off* maybe next time

when i’m asked about my research

Sometimes people call me a “pocket rocket” but in Scotland a rocket is a stupid person so they’re effectively calling me a tiny idiot which makes me giggle

FYI The price of pointe shoes, that usually last 1-2 weeks to a month depending on class/rehearsal/performance schedule are going to rise a lot PDQ as they are manufactured in Europe mostly. Send your dancers and ballet companies some money

I need to watch Phantom of The Opera and cry soon

111-year old photo of the Moulin Rouge in Paris. Yes, it is tiny. Yes, it is still there. I went there when I was in Paris in the 90s. One of the best times I've ever had.

Always prepare for the worst, hope for the best, and trust no one.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, a life without potatoes is no life at all

Took my kid to the Minecraft movie and it was honestly so much fun. Adults and kids were clapping and cheering and having the best time (there was a standing ovation for chicken jockey) A big group of teenagers even came in costume much to the wee ones delight!

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

Saw a bunch of balloons floating past my window and shouted “look at the balloons” but the cats did not look. Bit rude

What's this? Mutton ... 'Tis burnt, and so is all the meat. Taming of the Shrew #ShakespeareSunday

Maybe the moon will fall on me

Fascinating watching an entire nation succumb to Stockholm Syndrome

I like to keep all my emotions bottled up, in case of emergency.
