Wallflower

Voyeur;
"A person who derives sexual gratification from observing the naked bodies or sexual acts of others, especially from a secret vantage point."

I like people watching and I like to know about them, from a distance. We may just be acquantences or sometimes I don't even know the person yet I want to know details of all of these people. I want to know what they had for tea and what films they like and where they're holidaying this year.

I also like reading random blogs, but I tend to enjoy personal blogs about their lives more rather than blogs written like newspapers.

I suppose this people watching stems from loneliness. I want some friends and I peek in on these people's lives to fill in the cracks of my own. But it's definitely nothing sexual!

Is there an appropriate word for this?

Ebbing Away

I understand Their and There. I know what context they need to be used in and I understand why. But lately, I have been getting them mixed up in a non-thinking way. These days, apart from poems and shopping lists, I do the majority of writing on a computer and I think it is a case of my hands thinking faster than my brain.

When I was at college, I was so aware of similes and metaphors and adjectives and nouns and euphemisms. I used to know a lot more and it used to stream from me effortlessly. Now I seem to have forgotten many things, as if my educated self is disappearing and my education is slowly ebbing away.

At college, the thing I liked about it was how it opened my mind. I felt as if I was narrow minded to the world before and through college it opened the eyes in my mind and now I am more aware of everything and most significantly aware of how much there is I know nothing about.
