    I think we had the same teacher. :) Don't worry about the 150 blank pages, they are a call to creative people to fill them up somehow. What the teacher didn't recognise is that some blank space is helpful to see the creative work properly. What else are full stops for?

    I wouldn't get too hung up on whether you procrastinate and don't organise... in my opinion procrastination is about a natural reluctance to leave the comfortable to face the uncomfortable, it's not who you are. When life gets tough we naturally tend to go to safe places, whether those are in our heads or in inactivity/displacement activities. I am particularly good at displacement activites. Narrowly missed the Olympic Team for it, in fact, but that's okay: I put off my practice so often my heart clearly wasn't in it. :)

    As for living in our heads, that's because we are creative.

    Hugs and support for this hard time in your life xx

    I know what you mean about procrastination cherry but it really gets on my nerves at times.

    I will ways be a dreamer though. I just don't want another 30 years to pass and realise I spent so much time dreaming I forgot to do stuff.

    I'm just at a funny age. If I were male I may be chasing 20 year old girls.;):rotfl:

    Don't mess with your hair until you feel better!!!!:eek:

    Actually I'd agree with you if it's anything permanent. At least with hair it grows out eventually if you need it to, but in my case that would take a very long time. :D

    Aren't there spray in colours though? No harm in those unless you mind your bathroom changing colour. Ours has been a faint shade of neon green since DS went on a Halloween Park Run.

    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

    It depends what it is you procrastinate about? Other people's agendas, achieving your most cherished dreams or clearing the way to start on those dreams - those are all very different. Digging out our motivations is a lengthy process in itself but I think it can pay off.

    Do the loose women lack class I didn't know. But isn't Gloria Honeybunch one of them? She is classy. No? I must confess i don't watch them but they talk about life and drink tea? no?

    I know what you mean about not getting things done...I never seem to get to the end of my dishes...:o

    My 18 year old self was a complete idiot. I am glad we are no longer equated :) That said I preferred her boobs :rotfl:

    Keep posting parsniphead. I miss your funny wisdom :)

    I didn't have any boobs. Two asprin on an ironing board ;), not now though. Along with fat came boobs.

    Dead birds on neon green is an original idea for a bathroom. Stick with the pillar box red. ;)
