Hello – I’m Sid
the human behind I Wrote Those.
This blog is where I take modern life, shake it gently and write down whatever falls out.
Usually an observation. Occasionally a lesson. Often a crumb.
On the internet, I’m a procrastinating writer documenting life as a sequence of chaotic misadventures, often pausing for snacks (obvs!)
In real life, you’ll find me doing glamorous things like:
- negotiating with an almost-14-year-old who has discovered logic and now uses it as a weapon
- arguing with an AI chat bot that’s convinced it’s being “helpful”
- picking suspicious food particles off the sofa like some sort of domestic archaeologist
- trying to remember what I walked into the kitchen for (again)
If you’re here for polished perfection, I can only apologise.
If you’re here for conversation or stories that feel like real life – slightly chaotic, oddly tender and occasionally ridiculous – well, you’ve found your people.
So… why subscribe?
Because you might want front-row seats to the next lapse of sanity. And because, frankly, the archives are full of evidence.
Also, I have questions. Big ones.
Like: how do so many snacks end up down the side of the sofa?
Who put them there?
Are they still edible?
And if we gathered them all up, would it solve world hunger… or just make things worse?
And then there are the teenager questions. The ones delivered casually, like a text message, but with the emotional impact of a philosophical brick:
“If adults know so much, why is the world such a mess?”
“Why are there rules for everything?”
And my personal favourite:
“If a turtle loses its shell, is it naked or homeless?”
So yes. That’s the general energy.
If you’d like new posts – misadventures, musings, fiction and the occasional existential snack break – delivered fresh to your inbox, you know what to do.
Remember: sanity is overrated, but good stories never are.
See you soon.
Probably in your inbox.
