Life Decisions

Posted by: User ImagePenny (Who am I?) In: A Day In The Life| Paperback Writer

The last few days have forced me to constantly think, think… and think about what I am doing with my life. Who knew I would land in the real world with such a thud after my graduation last Thursday?
Digression…
Graduation was great. I was scared, I was nervous about how I would act, whether I would [...] Read more »

Is choice an illusion?

Posted by: User ImagePenny (Who am I?) In: Imagine

Some think we are free to choose, some think everything in life is determined, and this is the essence of a debate that has been going on amongst philosophers for hundreds of years.
There are two main problems: if we see that everything is determined, then there can be no moral responsibility. For example, if someone [...] Read more »

Well, I don’t know exactly why but the urges have been stronger recently. I have quite a lot of fairly short hairs on my head around the crown (a couple of inches long) which I think had been growing back from not pulling much at all in recent months. I’ve actually been too busy to [...] Read more »

A Thinker or a Doer?

Posted by: User ImagePenny (Who am I?) In: Imagine

I am a thinker.
There are people who analyse situations, who go with their instinct, or are pragmatic about it. Most people use a balance of all three, and there are also problems with all three.
Thinkers may never do things because they are scared and worried, feelers may do the wrong thing because they are not [...] Read more »

Hope in Long Distance Relationships

Posted by: User ImagePenny (Who am I?) In: The Word Is Love

Sometimes I feel like I’m never going to see him again, it feels like the situation we are in is forever. This was especially true when he was in Japan and I was back in the UK (and Mallorca and Cyprus!). I’m sure that most people in these situations dream of their future, hope that [...] Read more »

Good, Confident People

Posted by: User ImagePenny (Who am I?) In: If You've Got Trouble...| Imagine

Do you ever look at other people and just wish that you had their confidence? Some just seem to ooze confidence, whether this is sex appeal, fashion sense, kindness or intelligence.
Some people I meet and I just know they are good people. They are kind and good and you never have a bad word to [...] Read more »

CV or TV?

Posted by: User ImagePenny (Who am I?) In: A Day In The Life

Day 1 of the job search: already feeling quite nervous.
The classic conundrum - work on your CV and finding a job or treat the time as your last chance at freedom and slob out in front of the TV?
OK, so maybe it isn’t the classic conundrum (it might be, I don’t know). It’s certainly my [...] Read more »

Glorious Shoes

Posted by: User ImagePenny (Who am I?) In: A Day In The Life| What Matters to Me

What is it with certain women’s obsession with shoes? For some reason the sight of these makes me want to blow £60 of my ever-shrinking overdraft. One of my favourite websites, ASOS.com, has the whole Sex and the City collection available to buy, and these shoes just came back in stock.

Worth the Wait?

Posted by: User ImagePenny (Who am I?) In: A Day In The Life| The Word Is Love

Two things worth waiting for: one for you and one for me.
Firstly, has my return been worth the wait? I’ve been gone for so long it’s unbelievable! Firstly to Cyprus for two weeks, back for a few days, then to Majorca, and I have been busy since I returned home last Tuesday. Mainly busy with [...] Read more »
