Tell you what: I already do at least 70% of what you say here and I’ve never been so fucking stressed in my entire fucking life with the possible exception of a job I quit after three months. Because being a DSB comes with a whole shit-ton of stress. And there is no amount of lemon water that can solve that.

But I’m…

There is no failure in writing. There is failure in publishing, marketing and selling, but writing itself is in you. You will not fail as long as you really want to do it.

Could you stand not writing it, though? Because I know that is the problem with me: I want to write no matter what. I don’t care. I just want to write it. There is no greater joy.

Crying too. So cute and so sad.

William and Kate split up for a while because he wanted her to be sure she could take on the thankless task of being a full-time royal. She has, so far, proven to be excellent at her job. I honestly can’t see William do better than that.

At this point, by what we know, it’s easy to imagine that she thought she could win him over with her love, day after day, by giving him what he wanted and needed: stability, children, a beautiful wife. She was too young and in love - because she was; he wasn’t - to realize that she was entering an untenable situation…

Sad.

I’m really into the Sephora Rouge line right now. Soft and long-wearing at the same time, and the shades are to die for. MAC is great but it dries my lips out.

I can totally believe they would fall for it, but the science behind it seems rickety at best.

Oh, god: Michelle Williams is dating Jonathan Safran Foer.

I saw Natalie Imbruglia in Rome a few days ago and when I read that headline I was all “OMIGOD MICHAEL DOUGLAS AND CATHERINE ZETA-JONES AND I WENT TO THE SAME GIG IN A SHOPPING MALL AND I HAD NO IDEA”. It was a posher affair in Sardinia, of course. (BTW, Natalie Imbruglia is still a great singer and the old songs are…

The story, of course, does not cover all the micro-lies she must have told just to survive over the course of her life. She was self-harming in elementary school, which is an unusual age to show such severe signs of distress and lack of balance. Am I surprised that this escalated into murder? Not really. It’s happened…

Right. I’ll amend that to “that’s a lot of speculation there”. That is.

I’m guessing that if you really don’t want to be pregnant you can spin any symptoms to yourself until the baby pops out. Which is still quite sad.

That’s a lot of “coulds” there. And we really have no idea what went through her head, what her actual conditions were, and why she thought that sticking the baby in a bag was her only way out. She will go to jail for it, that much is almost certain, but I’d hold the moral judgment. Because we don’t know.

What about your period, throwing up, feeling tired? Surely there’s more to being pregnant than a baby kicking.

Yeah. What do we know, exactly? Who is the father of the baby? Why did she feel she could not simply give it up (assuming she didn’t know she was pregnant until it was too late for an abortion) or have an abortion (assuming she learned of the pregnancy earlier)? Was this child the product of consensual sex? Was she…

Not justified at all. Understanding is not the same as justifying (and she will go to jail for it).

Her education and position are probably the very reason why she lost it. Yes, of course she could’ve done a number of things - walked to the police station, given up the baby - but it’s very likely that the guilt and shame led to her trying to hide the pregnancy until the very possible moment, and then destroy the…
