Slick:
Man, if I saw you with those albums, I'd hit on you.
And then steal them while you were all flustered and distracted.
Liz:
I would like to see this situation play out.
Liz:
It just keeps getting better and better.

Apologies for interrupting the proposed Fugazi-inspired make out fest, but I wanted to firstly say that Fatty pretty much has it nailed.
It took me an adolescence-worth of parentally-enforced neuroses, a late blooming eating disorder and many flattering photographs later to finally come to terms with the fact that I like who I am right now. Between last year and this year I dropped from UK size 22 to a 14 (I'm 5'11, sorry, no metric...), and the majority of people who saw the transition assumed that I only gained confidence after losing the weight. I had to gently break it to them that actually, whether I was struggling to find clothes to fit or starving myself to distraction, I still felt fucking gorgeous. The main difference was other people's responses, which, as a creature of vanity, I suck up to.
There will always be things which I dislike about myself, but having spent so long cultivating my insecurities and mocking myself for them, I can't care about them enough to get upset - it's like Fatty said - this is how you are, so love it, and I'm now thoroughly versed in good self-presentation and narcissism.
And like Linds, I'm not planning on shifting my ass. I love that thing.
