Ok - today I'm studying and writing the final part of my sociology essay! If thats not enough to think about, I've also been thinking about some of the questions that were asked at 'Grill a Vicar night' at Sudbury Eden Project last night!
The questions that have really stuck in my mind are 'Is dating right? Should we be friends first?', 'What is you're opinion on suicide? Do you think people who commit suicide would still go to heaven?' and 'How long should you be with someone before together you start thinking about marriage?'.
I thought I'd post these questions to see what other people think! There was a huge debate on these questions amongst the youth at eden but it would still be interesting what others come up with!
Happy thinking!

Labelling?
In my A-level in Psychology and now in my degree i've had to study the subject of labelling. This is basically where people 'label' someone in their society based on a fact or characteristic of that person, for example, if a kid's dad was sent to prison, people may label that kid as a deviant and someone who is likely to cause trouble.
The reason i've said about this is because im annoyed about it happening to me! Tonight I'm going with my dad to a youth programme in Sudbury called the Eden project. My dad is doing a talk there. I'd have loved to have gone before this sunday and just meet people without my dad! Every person has a thing about parents 'cramping their style' and I'm not embarrassed by my parents occupation or them themselves! It's just I really wish that I could meet people as me for a change! Not a ministers daughter, not an Officers daughter - just me!
I'm really worried that, because people find out straight away that I'm Salvation Army Officers kid that people will labell and therefore generalise me to be over the top, boring, bible-bashing nobody!
Hello people! I'm actually a human being with feelings who does enjoy a bit of fun!!!!

Cowards?
Sorry for not postin in a while - this last wekk has been like an emotional rollercoaster ride that i can't seem to get off!
Guys seem to be really macho when flirting, playing sport and just manly stuff but im starting to wonder whether they are actually cowards when it comes to love!
Most guys I've come across seem to like to stick to whats familiar and whats safe. So far, the excuses I've had for not stepping out of the comfort zone are: 'Don't want a relationship at the moment', 'I enjoy flirting and don't want to stick to one person for ages', 'I don't want to ruin our friendship', 'I'm not entirely sure the I'm over my ex', 'You're blonde' (that one really hurt!), 'I don't do distance relationships'... shall I go on!!!?
Whats happened to the sense of adventure and going forward into the future rather than sitting in the past! Perhaps guys feel the same about us girls! I duno - nobodys ever said!
Maybe guys just make excuses with me - after all - who would want to go out with an officers kid!?

100% ????
I had a thought the other day that was prompted by a text from someone and thought Id share it with ld you bloggers!
Can you ever be 100% about anything or anyone? In terms of inanimate objects, again you can never really be 100% about them. For example, if you buy a car - you may really like it but there will still be things that you are unsure about until you actually get it and drive it out of the place you bought it from!
In terms of liking someone, you know that you like them but are often unsure of what to do, but you'll still be unsure about them until you actually go out with them and then you usually make up you're mind! You may not be conscious of it, but surely its true!
These are just my thoughts on this and probably sound like rambles, but please comment on this and give you're opinion on the question 'Can you ever be 100% about anyone or anything?'. It makes a good debate and I'm curious to see what other people think!!
As for other stuff in my life. Things in my past are reallyu starting to get me down - and I cant tell anyone. Its too difficult although I really want to! Sometimes I wonder if lifes worth living!!!...
