aboutpaula Mine works automatically and underlines the bad words in red. It helps to notice things when you re-read before you post. Has saved me quite a few time, heh.

aboutpaula I really love New York. I have only been once and that was almost 5 years ago but I can't wait to go again. Being from the UK, it's hard to go there often but once I have enough cash saved up, I'll hopefully be there travelling. I have no idea what the...

aboutpaula Hi, I'm away from home for uni. I'm only about 200 miles away from home and I can't imagine what it feels like to be in another country but I think it may be similar. You can always phone, text, email and write to people at home and I know it isn't the...

aboutpaula Yes, I admit it, I do sleep with my mouth sometimes open. I mainly know this when I wake up stuck to the pillow because I have dribbled! I think I may have caught myself once or twice but its always the dribble that tells me. Disgusting but true.

aboutpaula I do think it depends on what it is that you are doing, such as breaking up with someone, that should be done face to face but maybe explaining your feelings to somebody can be put better down on paper than ever said. People can get too confused or say things...

aboutpaula I do try to cover my mouth but sometimes it just hits you without time to. I sometimes realise halfway through a yawn that it's not covered and do my best to cover it then but sometimes, that brings attention to it even more. It's embarrassing to do it at...

aboutpaula I am a boots girl, like converse or or proper safety boots. Do not ask me why but normal girly shoes just don't make me feel comfortable. I have never worn a high heel and probably never will.

aboutpaula I really thought that the film was spot on. I really love the book and usually when films are made from books they are really badly made but this was great. I think that every detail in the book needed to be included otherwise important bits would be missed...
