What are you thinking ?

I was once told that the question , "what are you thinking? " is a fruitless one, because the moment one is confronted with such an abstract question - the answer which should be on the tip of your tongue, on the brink of your mind (quite literally), is more or less the hardest question to answer truthfully. It's not that we are hiding our thoughts from our company, (unless of course you're a 16 year old boy in which case it is in everyones best interest to keep your raunchy fantasies to yourself), but that our train of thought so frequently changes track that it's hard to keep up. And then when the question is popped, you are left half way between the original conversation you were having with yourself and the conversation which has just been started - its a bloody mess! Then you think - hmm, what was I thinking? I don't know. No- that's a lie, I do know. But she won't get it - it's too long to explain.
Or you might think - Why is she asking me? who cares ? Now I have to come up with something interesting/witty/funny or she will think I'm a characterless cow.
Here's the thing though - the best way to learn someone off by heart is by knowing what floats through their mind when they're alone, in silence - when they're their most honest, unmasked self ... right ??

So - No, it's not a fruitless question - and it's not a trick question either - I really do want to know ...

What are you thinking ?

Wow - it's been a while since I last clicked onto my Blog - but I'm back! Happier, Wiser and hopefully a lot more sparkly :) Since my GCSEs I've been spending my days dipping my feet into the magical lake at Hyde Park, travelling around London -imitating the city slickers of the Gossip Girl cast, and pretending that I'm a bejewelled mermaid - a red head of course!

Writing about how I feel in the present is what I enjoy doing the most! But instead of analysing (in this particular post)- im going to inject some magic into this already wonderful Sunday night.
The following idea was inspired by GalaDarling - whose blog is nothing short of pure love in a tub! If you haven't heard of her - YOU MUST google her right after reading this.

Minutes before Mermaid Mondays -( This is a section I hope to continue - a weekly addition every Sunday - in which I shall fire what I hope are pearls of wisdom/intriguing quotes( but which are most likely to be clichéd one-liners- slighty more useful than a turd).
nevertheless -1st attempt - wish me luck !


- MMM

- Be magnetic - attract like-minded mermaids!
- Strike a pose and make it your signiture stance
- When in doubt ...flash a smile - it can win over the coldest commuters
- Spend over 15 minutes thinking about how an incident made you feel today
- Write a letter on thick- parchment type paper in a runny ink -( you don't even have to send it)
- Document everyday - even if it's just "Hyde park picnic" on your annual calendar
- If you're a student - prepare for the next academic year ahead - buy stationary that makes you excited to work - that makes you feel sophisticated yet silly (spongebob squarepants pencil case with a heavy parker pen could work)
- Say goodnight to no-one in particular and wish the world "sweet dreams" !

-Mermaid Out ! x
