About Me

Hi and welcome to the attic, I’m Frankenberry of said blog title and I write of just my everyday here, sometimes funny, sometimes heartfelt, sometimes angry, sometimes funny again because, well, who don’t like funny, thoughts on getting older and sometimes stuff that’s just kinda shit. I pen and sing the occasional parody tune and other songs, sometimes I even get a little bit poetical or short story-etical or something like that. If you’re joining me here I thank you, but just mind your head and feet and keep an eye out for my Little Bella and Cricket the Blind as well as the memories of Raspberry (Razzy), Mimi the Quirky, of Blink the lil’ kit, Grayson the Mighty, Shoes the Big Orange, Shana-Girl, Benny Good Man Benny Brown, Merlin & Bob. Wouldn’t want you step on them or anything … ‘cause then I might just have to throw you down the stairs … damned humans.
