Untitled 3 years ago

go skinny dipping
brass monkeys .... 3 years ago

North Sea, off of scotland
May (when summer only begins in July … and only lasts three days)
Very drunk on red wine
One female friend

... perhaps the coldest I have ever been in my life, but the most exilirating experience, skinny dipping at midnight on the beautiful miles long beach of St Andrews … definitely worhtwhile, although my next brush with nudity and swimming might involve somewhere warmer … !

spur of the moment! 4 years ago

so glad i finally got my nipple done… will no in a coupla weeks when its fully healed if i really love it, but at the moment i’m so glad i went ahead and did it. ironically all my guy friends love it, where as all my female friends cringe in personal pain and cover their own in sympathy!

eyebrow or nipple first? 4 years ago

see, i’m thinking nipple is sorer so get it first, plus if i hate it, no one needs to know i have it. but then i also wonder about working my way up to nipple from eyebrow … thoughts?



stretch enough to touch my toes
where should i focus? 4 years ago

is it possible that my legs are significantly longer than my torso to prevent me reaching my toes … or is this a cop-out?! i’m about 5’10, exercise and fairly flexible – I’ve recently started yoga and can manage a lot of the standing positions that involve the legs e.g. tree and variations on this, and my instructor told me I found this easy because my legs are long in proportion to my body and that it would come in time. but i just wanted to check if this is actually a legitimate reason for not being able to touch my toes. i can get within maybe about 6 inches of them (which is quite a gap) and i wondered if the problem was more likely to be in my back/spine, my arms or my hips. (personally i feel like its my back as when bending down i don’t fold from the waist but curve my spine down from the top … if that makes any sense?!)



get over my ex
is out of sight really out of mind? 4 years ago

how do you know if you are actualy over your ex? “out of sight, out of mind” has helped me deal, but the extent to which I am actually “over” everything, rather than avoiding the issue makes me worry about the next time we actually see each other. I know that we are not right for each other but even 6 months on I can’t stop my thoughts from straying back and re-looking at everything, usully through rose-tinted glasses. Friends tell me that you only ever truly get over someone when someone new appears in your life – the real feelings that you once had for your ex cannot be made to ‘disappear’ but must be redirected towards this new person who highlights the reasons why you broke up with your ex in the first place by the fact that they are better for you – but I worry that this isn’t the case, or that someone will come along and I’ll avoid it cos I don’t want to use them.
