Body/Self Image
Jimmy the Squid:
I like to think I am realistic about my body. I'm pretty overweight at about 105kgs and roughly 5'11. All in all I'm pretty uncomfortable with how I look which is why I'm generally wearing big coats or loose clothing so it isn't all that noticeable. It's also why I wear a lot of black (that and I like it). On the other hand I have pretty rockin' lips, nice enough eyebrows, I have a nice wink and I'm pretty proud of my arse. I'd like to lose some weight and I keep telling myself that I'll do it but I am very very very lazy. I sometimes wish I lived in the 1920s because I would have been fucking handsome because the style then was dudes who looked like me. Maybe if I can psych myself up properly I can join the gym over winter and trim down and tone up a little bit.
Dimmukane:
I'm mostly alright with myself. I could afford to lose 30 pounds. I also have a tendency to get lost in thought sometimes. Like, I'll kind of forget what I'm doing for 15 minutes. Not daydreaming, because that implies fantasizing. I just think too hard to do anything else for a little bit. I do like my hair a lot, as long as it's clean.
Patrick:
I am unpleasantly skinny. I don't BS myself about it, though. And I've gained like 15 pounds (like 6-7 kilos?) over the last two weeks. It is a real effort to gain and keep weight like that, so I'm proud of myself!
What I do like about being this skinny is the fact that I am superfuckingfast on my feet. 5km in 22 minutes didn't wind me last summer when I was at my heaviest (135lbs, it was GREAT, I looked superfine).
Aminal:
I feel like I would be more attractive if I didn't have all these fucking ticks on me. I woke up this morning and pulled another one off, but the bite is all black and painful. I'm pretty sure I have Lyme disease now. Is this because I live in a log cabin, or sleep in a pile of animals?
Yup, I'd be so hot if it weren't for all the ticks.
Sox:
Aminal, I have no idea what you're talking about, ticks on girls are hot.
I'm very small. I could probably perch on your shoulder like a parrot. And I dress terribly, as I can't afford nice clothes. I can't grow a beard, this is a huge deal to me. I spend maybe 90% of my time thinking about how disappointed I am that I can't grow a beard.
Other than these minor things, I'm really happy with my body. I benefit really quickly from a good diet and exercise, I think I look pretty great without clothes on. The only thing I could improve on, realistically, is my skin, by taking better care of it and waiting for various scars to fade. That said, I don't have a problem with scars either, of which I have many. I see a lot of people who cover scars up with clothing and accessories, but I have never felt compelled to do that. I think maybe those people have negative self image.
I grew up believing that I was a terrible person and incredibly selfish, so I overcompensated by being as generous and polite as I could, often at great expense to myself. This is because unfortunately, the vast majority of adults I met in my childhood years and adolescence were angry, bitter and resentful people who had no idea how to speak to young people. You have to treat everybody with respect, but you especially have to be respectful of young people who are still developing. The kids were assholes too, but I hold the adults responsible for that.
This is where my negative self image comes from and I spend far too much time obsessing about how I can be the perfect person I think everybody wants me to be, instead of trying to get comfortable with the person I actually am. That said, I've been wondering the sort of person I am, and I'm starting to think I might be one of those unreliable people that you don't really want to know, which lends even more to the negative self image.
This is all stuff I've really only started to become aware of in the last few months.
I am really really awkward, it shows in person.
On a totally unrelated noted, I am going to start the "Mile Hifi Club". It's where you take a hifi onto a plane and blast music out of it in the toilet.
