I once tried to give him a friendly little "drugs chat". He politely corrected me on every single fact, then said he'd noticed I drank above the recommended guidelines of Red Bull and did I think I might have an addiction? That was the last time I tried to act like the older sister.

Just because of that one disastrous blind date she had last year, where the guy turned out to be fifty-nine, not thirty-nine (He claimed it was a typo. Yeah, I’m sure his finger just happened to slip two spaces to the left).

No human on God's earth is a nobody.

There’s no such thing as ruining your life. Life’s a pretty resilient thing, it turns out.

I had gone to Oxford to read music. I had done music all my life, but when I got to college I didn't want to do it anymore.

Some things are best left a blur. Births and Visa Bills.

If I behave as though this is a completely normal situation, then maybe it will be.
