Heart of the Tapu Stone

Scotty too hottie and me. I met my husband at the "Winchester" Karaoke Bar in Lower Hutt, it was literally LOVE at first sight.

My favourite food is pumpkin, spinach and cauliflower boiled and mashed with sour cream

I own four pairs of sneakers, average prices $8 each, two pairs of jandals (flip flops) and a pair of slippers my daughter bought me for christmas.

I am obessed with the interior design of tiny spaces...

I love the sea although I am terrified of it since seeing jaws when I was a kid, although I made myself swim in it but only with my husband. I always stay on the shore side from him reasoning that if there is a great white shark Scotty will go first...he knows this and still loves me.

The first movie that scared the crap outta me was "Hush Hush sweet Charlotte with Bette David and Olivia DeHavilland, and the song still creeps me the hell out *shudder*

My first full on crush was 'Scott' from the Thunderbirds - it took me a long looooooong time to figure out he was a puppet.

When I was pregnant with my eldest daughter Megan I was addicted to Pixi caramal bars.

My son Nathan was breach and when he was born his feet came out in the taxi on the way to the hospital.

When I was pregnant with Jenna-Rose I ate Watties Baked Beans, apple sauce and pork sausages for almost every meal.

My childhood nickname is bullet, not because I was especially fast but I was bald until I was about three.

I was once a dolly bird back up singer in a band and was on TV, I hope to hell that Video tape has been completely destroyed, but I did look hot.

Apocalypse soon...

What the feck is going on ay?

Earthquakes, floods, a massive moon hanging low in that sky staring monoculus-ly at us (yes that is a real word)

What's it all about New Zealand???

Well, I don't know.

But I do know what is it NOT about.

It is NOT about Gayness.

There are more verses in the bible about the
correctness of
the subjugation of women to men
than there are about the evilness of being Gay.
So which is the biggest abomination??

Women being an equal partner in a marriage rather than in servitude to their husbands.
Women being in control of their own bodies.
Women having choices about what they want to do with their lives.
Women being educated.
Women smashing through glass ceilings and being business and world leaders.

All of that is more likely to tick off the almighty.

So all you women out there, in New Zealand, working hard and making amazing successes of your lives, just STOP RIGHT THERE, get your shoes off and get back to your kitchen sinks.

God is mad at us because of you!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF

November 9, 2016

I am only going to say one thing about the US election...wtf

Posted by Olivia Giles.

As I stirred a spoonful of melting butter into a bowl of mashed potato, carrot and cabbage, that I was going to eat by myself, in my bedroom, with a crack of salt and pepper, I feel a sense of joy that only a trip back to childhood comfort food can bring.

It had been a tough three months beginning with a soul stripping, frightening, plummet into depression brought on by being prescribed a drug that I should not have been given.

I don’t blame the hospital; over the years I...

What I know...for sure...

September 26, 2016

Nothing really. I think being certain about anything is a sure fire way to be wrong. So I am never certain about absolutely anything. I also take nothing for granted or think anything is going to last forever.
Every day I face it with the uncertainty that I will make it to another day, so I spend every day doing things that I love and I need to do as opposed to the things 'I think' I should do or 'I think other people think I should do.

My opinion of Kids on the Net

September 2, 2016

Fear mongering...Computers

Instead of freaking out that your kids are addicts ask yourself -

Have you used net nanny or a similar App to put restrictions on the websites your child can access.
Are they with you when they are on the net and can you can look at the screen at any time and see what they are watching?
Have they done all their physical chores before they go on?
Are they doing other things?
How are you limiting the time? Short spells like 10 minutes per hour or a long period of 2 -4...

A perfect moment.

August 26, 2016

I had a perfect moment yesterday.

A pinnacle of a moment.

A moment I never really thought Id have - ever.

But I did, but instead of trying to hold on to that moment
I am going to write it down and then let it go.

This is about Creative Process and how it works for me, and how it shaped my first ever novel
"Heart of the Tapu Stone"

As probably everyone in this country, and quite a few countries around the world know, Lawrence Makoare is an actor and a carver.
He's been in a lot of movi...

The smug bitch essay...

August 20, 2016

There is a rule that people stick too and I should stick to but I don’t, about being a smug bitch and the curse that is attached to it.
But I’m not scared of the ‘smug bitch’ curse. I don’t believe in it. I’ve broken it way too many times to take it seriously.

I love my (I know, I know, I know, I won't shut up about it) husband and he loves me.
On the 29th of August 2016 it will be fifteen years since the day we met. Our meeting was amazing because it was in the stars. The ...

Me and my tarzan outfit.

I've never watched a full episode of sex in the city because...

I don't watch tv as I know it will be addictive if I started
Big is a complete and utter arse-hole
I know a lot of woman who do actually have that life.
I never got the shoe fixation

So I watch it in you tube bites which is much better, you get the whole the friend/bitch/ship and you don't have to put up with Carrie's needy shit and Miranda's bitchiness. I loved Samantha and Charlotte, Aiden, Steve, Anthony an...

August 7, 2016

Me and the most important part of my writing process
"Scotty too Hotty" Andrew Giles, my husband and the chief lolly buyer, bill payer
enthusiasm encourage-er and cup of tea maker

The End....well not really, finishing a book doesn't end until the thing is on the book shelf, you, the author open it randomly and find a fecking typo...get depressed and go to bed for six months with ice cream and 'Darling Buds of May' videos.

It's been a long time coming, and now I think the book is finished, of cou...

Not good at keeping a diary, my brain is a bit too random but will have a decent go at it.
