Knitting, Podcasts and Dean Cain.

Well, it seems to be official.
By the unanimous decision of the two people who commented and myself, the best looking of all the Superman actors is Dean Cain. Yuuuuuuuuuuuuummy.
Have been doing loads of knitting today and also listening to podcasts. I love podcasts but I’d probably love them more if i knew what i’d [...]

Burning Question

Because I am ever so slight obsessed with all thing Superman at the moment (and also somewhat shallow) I thought I’d take a poll.
Who is the best looking Superman?
Christopher Reeve? (Superman Films)
Dean Cain? (The New Adventures of Superman)
Brandon Routh? (Superman Returns)

And now for something completely different…

Just thought that this was worth sharing… Will be back later, probably.
Accept that some days you’re the pigeon,
and some days you’re the statue.
Always keep your words soft and sweet,
just in case you have to eat them.
Always read stuff that will make you look
good if you [...]

“It’s my fault, I’m really sorry.”

Someone made a pretty big mistake today. One that affected me pretty badly.
But then took the time to put there hands up to me and say “Emma, I’m really sorry.” and to admit to me that it was their fault. He looked me straight in the eye and went “I spoke to [...]

A Letter Unsent

Dear you,
I know you’ll never read this and even if you did you wouldn’t understand it. But sometimes a girl’s just gotta get some stuff off of her chest.
If I need help I will ask. Don’t just stick your hand on my side without saying a word and then act all offended when [...]

R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Find out what it means to me

I’m not sure how this is going to come across.
I go swimming on a Friday afternoon. It’s a public disabled session which means that anyone with a disability can go. I belong to a social group for disabled people and we go to the session. There’s another group that goes of people [...]

Deja vu

I do voluntary work a few times a week. And twice a year we get together socially.
We do this thing when we go out to eat where every seat apart from mine has a number and after each course everyone gets up and moves on so many places. It’s always arranged so [...]

Katie, again.

And me, this time, too ;o)
The Guardian has an article on it’s website about Katie Thorpe - Whose Life is it Anyway? And they included an extract from one of my blog entries about her in it.
How cool is that?!?!
I quite like the article, I think it does a fair job of describing the [...]

Reasons to be Cheerful

It’s ten past four and it’s STILL LIGHT! Properly light. If that isn’t a happy thought I don’t know what is.
And I managed not to show someone just how annoyed I was with them earlier.

Equality and Disability Rights

I just received an e-mail from Scope about their equality campaign.
National disability organisation Scope is calling on the Government to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities as a matter of urgency.
The Convention is the first treaty in history to give the millions of disabled people across the globe comprehensive human [...]
