Dear Diary

Awkward date with astrophysicist.

Tried to lighten the mood by telling a meteor joke, but I could only remember one about a #comet.

It just didn’t have the same impact.

Then I tried telling him a chemistry joke.

Didn’t get the reaction I was hoping for.

One does not simply become a master of karate. First, you must accidentally walk into a spider web.

“Looks like you're enjoying that art set I bought you, Jo?”

“Very much, Aunty Flo. Look at this beautiful onyx pencil. I just used it to draw an entire mountain range from memory!”

“Is it to scale, dear?”

“No, it's just to look at!"

“What on earth have you done to your living room Aunty Flo?"

“I had a Black Hole installed, Jo. It's the latest trend”

"It definitely pulls the room together! I can see the mass appeal"

“Its nearly lunchtime Jo, would you open that can of wormholes for me?”

andrea gibson’s poetry is one of the few things that kept me together when everything felt meaningless. the world lost a beautiful spirit today and everyone should take the time to read their poetry if they haven’t already

If you get cremated after you die you can be put into an hour glass and still participate in family game nights.

I like to send out work for publication so the moment after I send it out I can see what's wrong with it.

“Aunty Flo, this recipe calls for a scintilla of salt? What on earth is that?”

“ It's an old measurement, Jo. It means a speck, a smidgen, a soupçon, a shred, a spatter, a spot...”

“Oops, I probably shouldn't have added a spoonful then.”
