Introduction

This eBook contains extracts from the blog Callie’s World and was originally published under this name. This book focuses on the fictional character, Callie, who is a twenty-three year old journalist whose job involves meeting a variety of weird and wonderful people. Unlike your usual chick-lit heroines, Callie can be a bit bitchy and sarcastic, but her heart’s in the right place. If you’ve ever dated an endless stream of losers, or had problems at work, you’ll be rooting for her, by the end!

Written in a chatty, chick-lit style, in the form of blog posts, the aim is for you to think of her as a real person with an interesting life. I hope you enjoy.

Best Wishes,

Anna Pescardot

Callie’s World

Hi there, I'm Callie. My real name is Caroline but, no offence if you're called Caroline; I thought it was a little bit old-fashioned for a young, twenty-three year old journalist like me. My best friend, Erin, suggested I call myself Callie, and it just stuck.

I am looking forward to getting to know you all. I have just started working at my local newspaper and I have such a great job (I don't know why nobody else wanted it) meeting all the weird and wonderful people who live in my local area and interviewing them. I get to meet all sorts, like the man who got locked in a coin-operated public toilet for a whole night. Apparently, he was banging on the door and screaming to be let out, but if anyone did hear him they didn't report it. I can't believe that considering it is plonked right in the middle of a busy high street. He was only rescued when a street cleaner heard him singing ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall. He told me he had to change the words to three thousand bottles of beer on the wall he was in there for that long. Anyway, he was funny. I told him that if I was going to be locked up anywhere, I would be happy as long as there was a toilet. Imagine if you were locked in a lift and needed to pee? I think it's time I changed the subject, don't you?

Let's talk about Erin. She phoned me up last night having another mega trauma. Three weeks ago, she moved back in with her mum, leaving the boyfriend she'd lived with for four years. When I asked her what he'd done to make her move out, she told me that she was having breakfast one morning, and he came down in his pyjamas and his belly was hanging over the waistband. When he bent down to get the milk out of the fridge, she could see a bald patch at the back of his head that she hadn't noticed before. Anyway, her exact words to me were, I just thought, Oh my God, I'm living with a fat b****. (Insert your own word here.  Erin swears like a trouper, but young children may read this.)

When she’d first met Adam, he was quite nice looking actually. He had short, brown hair, in a decent style, and he had a friendly face. He wasn't skinny, but he wasn't fat either. She said that because she'd lived with him for so long she hadn't noticed him putting on weight, or losing his hair, so it was like a sudden bolt of lightening hit her and made her see the light.

I knew he'd put on weight. We all went to a friend's wedding,
