Sometimes I Climb the Walls and Lie on the Ceiling

I'm using 3 exclamation marks because this morning I read something somewhere which said that to express genuine ! you have to use !!! So ! = meh !! = meh-meh but !!! = YAY or something like that!...

As I was prepping this post to begin writing it, my internet connection experienced a failure. It's not something worth having a tantrum about unless you're a narcissist. The new WordPress editor automatically saves progress seconds after you do anything. If the connection gets disrupted, a little pink banner pops up in the editor to... Continue Reading →
It's that time of year again when we feel a certain strange mix of hope and despair, or is it just indigestion? We're looking forward to what's up ahead, just around that corner, over that hump, through that door, while running away from what's behind us… is it still chasing after us? It's a time...

I had this great idea last night as I was drifting off to sleep. I don't know if it was really a great idea, it just felt like one. Have you ever had one of those? My being was suddenly energised, raring to go go go. This is amazing, Ursula, do it do it do... Continue Reading →
Are you woke? Are you a special snowflake? Are you an entitled Millennial? Are you getting annoyed by those questions? I'm still not entirely sure what those words mean or at least what people mean when they use them like that. Fights may break out if you ask a forum of people online what those... Continue Reading →
What's in your box? What box do I mean? Am I asking about a metaphorical box or an actual box-box? Recently I've developed the habit of repeating a word, as in box-box, when I am talking about it in a literal manner to distinguish it from its figurative meanings. Hopefully I'll nip this affectation in... Continue Reading →
Happy merry jingle jangle to everyone! Whether you celebrate Christmas or something else or nothing at all and this is just another day, whether you're in company or alone, best wishes to you all! I have no idea what to say or do in this post, but then again I rarely have a clue what... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I wrote a post. Yay. In that post I asked a lot of questions. Yay? And two intrepid bloggers took up the challenge to answer those questions in posts on their blogs. YAY!!! I always get very excited when people don't run away screaming, clutching their head as though I had tried to chop... Continue Reading →
What should I write here? What about here, what should I say? And when I get over there what on earth will I be rambling, babbling and writing about? What will be discovered, uncovered, rediscovered or covered? When you read a post or an article online, what do you think about it? Do you think... Continue Reading →
Yesterday was the Winter Solstice for the Northern hemisphere, marking the darkest point of the year. It was pouring with rain last night. It was so heavy, pounding the roof above me. It felt as though it was never going to stop. This morning it's bright and sunny. Maybe it'll stay clear and I'll be... Continue Reading →
You may have noticed a difference, then again maybe you haven't noticed a difference. In what? In who? What's the difference? How do you measure difference? How do you know when someone or something is different? “It's supposed to be automatic, but actually you have to push this button.” - John Brunner, Stand on Zanzibar... Continue Reading →
There's this challenge which many bloggers have been participating in which is called the 30 Day Song Challenge. It looks like fun. I considered joining in, but... I talked myself out of it. And now I've talked myself into it. You're supposed to post one a day... I'm doing them all in one post. I'm... Continue Reading →
Do narcissists have feelings? That's a question which sometimes comes up in discussions about narcissists. It's a question which perplexes me every time someone asks it, because in my experience of the narcissists in my life, our interactions and relationships have always been about their feelings. Your feelings don't matter. Your feelings are never as... Continue Reading →
This time of year used to stir up a patchwork of stressful memories for me. Those fragments of recollection would depress me and I felt out of sync with all the merriment around me. All I wanted for Christmas was to crawl into a deep dark hole and wait for it all to be over.... Continue Reading →
Trusting a narcissist is one of those experiences which usually ends up with people swearing an oath to themselves never to trust anyone, including themselves, ever again. However there is one thing you can always trust a narcissist to do and that is to ruin the holidays for everyone. Even if you don't celebrate any... Continue Reading →
Why does everyone keep insisting that today is Sunday? Because it is... but is it really? Well it does seem to really be a sunny day, which is nice after the windy downpour we had all day yesterday... I was just about to take the tarp off the ark. Someone asked me if I'd seen... Continue Reading →
This is one of those posts where I take a search term from my blog's stats and then write a bunch of stuff about it. This particular search term - What to say to someone who always disappoints you - stood out because I'm one of those someone's who always succeeds in disappointing people. How... Continue Reading →
Can you remember the last film you watched? Did you love it or loathe it? What was it about? And what was it about it which made you want to watch it (and then maybe wished you hadn't done that)? Do you have a favourite movie? Why is it your favourite? Is it the story... Continue Reading →
Who are you and how do you know that's who you are? How did you react to that question - are you still reading or did you move on? Should I chase after all those who decided not to give this post a chance or should I focus my attention on you - you who... Continue Reading →
So it's Christmas, and you have a narcissist in your life who expects to get what they want or else... But what is it that they want? Do they want fame? Fortune? Eternal youth? Immortality? Attention? Everything? Well, yes... but even if you could give them all of that, there's probably something else they want... Continue Reading →
It's that time of the year when we're supposed to be thinking about it being that time of the year... and what that means for us. Is it about endings or beginnings? Is it about what came before or what will come afterwards? Is it about giving or receiving? Is it about the glass being... Continue Reading →
Do narcissists know it's Christmas? Do they know this time of year isn't all about them getting what they want from others? And if they don't get what they want for Christmas, do they know that having a tantrum about it and then giving others the silent treatment punishment isn't really going to make them... Continue Reading →
If when the cat is away the mice will play... what does the cat do when the mice are away? I'm not sure if my cat considers me to be a mouse, but I do know what my cat gets up to when I'm away. Thanks to my partner who loves gadgets and put up... Continue Reading →
How do you know that you're not perfect? How do you know that you've made a mistake? How do you know that the person telling you that you've made a mistake isn't making a mistake? How do you know that you don't know something? How do you know that you know something? How do you... Continue Reading →
Are you walking on sunshine? Do you make your own sunshine? Do you need some time in the sunshine? Ain't no sunshine when... it's night... unless you're looking at the moon, or the Space Station as it glides on by high up in the... Space, the final frontier... where the force may be with you,... Continue Reading →
Can you recall your very first Disney experience? Was it a cartoon? A film? Or was it a place? Did you enjoy it or think it was stupid? Did it influence you? My very first Disney experience happened when I was about 3 years old. My parents took me to Disney World, but I was... Continue Reading →
Have you ever given something away only to wish later on that you could magically get it back? I'm not referring to time, opportunities, youth, your heart, your mind, your soul, or your virginity... I mean an actual thing, an object, a book, a toy, or a pack of playing cards. I've moved around a... Continue Reading →
No. I don't do it as much as I used to, but when I was in one of those conversation situations where I didn't know what to say but felt pressured to say something, I would usually just say "No". It used to confuse people. Especially if they hadn't asked me a question which could... Continue Reading →
