I usually stay in on Sunday nights. I'm not much of a party person.
Of course I don't want to go to a cocktail party...If I wanted to stand around with a load of people I don't know eating bits of cold toast I can get caught shoplifting and go to Holloway [women's prison].
I am not a very social person and have a few friends who have been with me since school and college. I hate going to parties and events and would rather sit at home and watch TV. Parties are the place where controversies happen.
I'm not very sociable. If I get invited to a glamorous event I probably won't go. That world does not really appeal to me.
I think the deafness affects me more than I realise; I think it makes me more tired. I loathe parties. I attend, smile and leave.
I hate parties. I hate having to do things.
I would rather hang out in my house with a couple of friends than go and rage all night.
I hate birthdays. I hate birthday parties. I hate them. I don't know what it is, anybody's only got to come wafting near me with a piece of cake with a candle on and I break out in hives.
