Personality: As easy as 1…2…3…?
Posted on 06. Sep, 2009 by Cheryl Frances in Life and Style
Whilst enrolling for my PGCE (teaching) course I got talking to a girl that had just finished the course. She asked me what subject I had studied for my undergrad and when I replied Psychology she said “Me too! I bet you’re going to end up analysing all the children…” I laughed and said “Not [...]

Posted on 26. Aug, 2009 by Cheryl Frances in Entertainment, Music
Some of you may remember Chico DeBarge from the 90’s where he had such hits as ‘No Guarantee’ and ‘Iggin Me’ but I have to say I was surprised to see him back with ‘Addiction’ his sixth! (wow) album. After listening to the album I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised to see [...]
Poetry: Electrified

Soft as angel wings, Cold like infant death,
And my heart aches.
A little too soon and…
You slip into my leather notebook,
Smooth as wine from promised dusk.
Brush…Your skin against mine,

You shed yourself of musky cotton,
But you’re still [...]
