The title "The Diary Of Somebody In Particular" is a play on words, derived from The Diary Of A Nobody, written by W&G Grossmith which first appeared in Punch in 1892 It later published as a book, and quickly established itself as a classic. The Grossmith book and "The Diary Of Somebody In Particular", however, part company there.
"The Diary Of Somebody In Particular" is not a staggered collection of diary entries, but is a story with a good old fashioned beggining, middle and end. Though the "diary" of a cat it doesn't avoid realities, and touches upon everything from loss and death (animal and human alike) to crime, success, fun times, and the hottananny which is student and bohemian life in the fictional Wychbury, as it blends seamlessly with all life around it. Wychbury is something of a melting-pot from drunks to shady women, mad butchers dogs to cat-tribe rivalry, creativity and destruction to tragedy and laugh-a-minute goings-on. All human (and some sub-human!) life is there.
The whole thing is related and voiced by the principle character, Lillith, following her arrival with new owners, from where everything else takes off. Life has suddenly moved up a gear and become an education and a learning curve, and cats watch every twist and turn of the fun, tragedy and mayhem, as they, dogs and human-kind alike pursue their frivolities and dramas. The story is voiced not only by Lillith, but also other major characters so as to bring them to life. If you want something comic it's there, but occasionally if you want to be brought-up sharp and hide a tear, hopefully "The Diary Of Somebody In Particular" may just make you feel human as well. Even a stray dog with attitude would read this!

Let's face it, none of those cliché situations from movies between a guy and a girl ever happen in real life. I'm not going to end up accidentally bumping into my future husband in a café, spilling a latte over him. I'm not going to go up to some random stranger and ask him for directions and he'll become mesmerised by the colour of my eyes and fall in love with me. The window of my bedroom doesn't happen to be situated opposite to that of a 'bad boy neighbour'.
I was daydreaming, again. Something I do on a daily basis. Nothing different, right? Well, let's just say I didn't snap out of my little 'trance' until I saw a guy waving frantically at me, smiling.
Oh shit, he's hot. He probably thinks I was checking him out.
Great, now he's coming over.
Kill me.
