Who am I?

December 13, 2012 in People, Religion, Self, Society

I have been meaning to join KiKi & Tea as a contributor since the website was founded but one thing stopped me: share a little biographical information. I just sat there, staring at the blank field as if it was a semi-trailer hurtling toward me and I the deer; about to be squished. Who am I? It should be the easiest question to answer; all it requires if for me to know myself. And I know myself better than anyone else. And yet I can’t write a twenty word bio of myself that I am satisfied with. Every time I [...]

The Cult Of First Personality

December 3, 2012 in Fiction, Sex, Society, Technology

It had taken Kate a long time – almost a year – to finally track down Mary Mary, that mysterious blogger whose website, Quite Contrary, had become such an Internet sensation.

I Owe My health to Stephanie Rice

I owe Stephanie Rice my life. Okay, so that may sound a tad melodramatic but I at least owe her my health. As the London Olympic Games fast approach us the spotlight is firmly fixed on the 24-year-old queen of the pool. 60 minutes interviewed her on Sunday night and Sunday Life ran a cover story profile on the swimmer at the beginning of the month. This looks to be her last Olympic Games as she plans to retire from professional swimming following the 2012 London Games. This makes me a bit sad but we all know not to trust [...]
