If you could change one thing...

Inspired by the "Your Voice" thread, if you could change one of your physical attributes, what would it be?

*anticipating the expected flood of filth and rising above it*

A little less tummy, please. Franks.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's between skin quality and nose...

― Nitsuh, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's a toss up between getting rid of the extra flesh round my middle and having a complete change of skin.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My face. Urrr... I would like its genes to undergo that minor reshuffle that changes it from a disgusting, nauseating, vile thing that causes vertiginous, retching horror in all who look upon it to something subtly more beautiful.

more fingers

― mark s, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

a longer tongue.

LESS ASS.

― David Raposa, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ditto what David said. Except about me. Not him. Actually, not really less ass, more like less thighs and stomach and other parts of the body. I'll keep my ass cos WHAT ELSE WOULD I TALK ABOUT OTHERWISE? The more ridiculous it looks, the better. In fact, I am considering plastic surgery to resemble Jessica Rabbit.

― Ally, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, I'll at least offer that there is nothing on my body I'd like less of.

― Sean, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Here we go. Go on, Sean, storytime part II! ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Smaller thighs. Thick straight hair instead of this wavy shit. Larger eyes. That's three.

― Maria, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There's no story, Ned, although I'm flattered by your continued interest.

― Sean, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I wish I had brown eyes. But I guess I don't care too much, or I'd just buy contacts.

― Arthur, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have what is known as Aguilera nose, so I'd love to change it. But I'm way too cheap and squeamish about plastic surgery to actually do anything about it.

― Nicole, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There's no story, Ned, although I'm flattered by your continued interest.

What can I say? Prurient interest and all.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Everything. (What d'you mean, that's not one thing? It's one WORD.)

I was going to rant about wanting to be more intelligent and articulate and musical and less lazy, all under the umbrella of "being smarter", but then I read the "physical attributes" bit of the question, so I'm going for all-out vanity and losing the two BLOODY stone I've put on in the past three years (hopefully that'd thin my pudgy face out a bit too). Except I was ugly three years ago, so I suppose that wouldn't help that much, but the extra weight is really annoying me.

Back then I would've gone for being taller and changing my hair colour. These don't really bother me now (at least growing my hair makes me less androgynous, and male androgyny may be cool but female androgyny just isn't, or it wasn't for me, anyway). I mean, being short and plump I do look out of proportion, and I hate the feeling that I just look too short to be a real adult human and that sensation I get while walking across open spaces that my eyes and brain are just way closer to the ground than they should be, but I don't think it's the main issue any more. I guess I have so many problems with how I look that there is no one main thing. On the other hand, four years ago I thought that my looks were my main problem and that I was at least halfway intelligent, whereas now I'm pretty laidback about how I look, I'm far more annoyed by the fact that I'm just not clever or determined or talented enough to get anything useful or interesting done.

Ack. Angst overload. I'm sorry.

I LOVE MY BODY ! MY BODY RULES ! MY CRAZY HAIR , MY MOON FACE, MY HAWK BEAK , MY MY BROAD SHOULDERS , MY HAIRY CHEST, MY BUDDHA BELLY, MY ASS , MY COCK, MY HUGE FEET AND SHORT LEGS ! MY BODY IS PERFECT !

― anthony, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Actually, I'll take what Ally's getting - most of my bulk is situated around my thighs and the lovehandle area. I'm getting there, I think, but it still seems like two Butterball turkey breasts are attached to my hip joints. I long for the day when I can once again wear ass-accomodating pants that aren't 4 sizes bigger than my actual waist size.

― David Raposa, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would gladly take straight hair that I could grow out for a month or so without having an afro like I do know, damnit.

― bnw, Friday, 21 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i have dark brown hair. i wish it was black. but i am too busy and broke to dye it.

― di, Saturday, 22 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I wish that i could change the fact that i really hgurt this guy oncwe because he really loved me and i didnt feel the same way. So Mtt Couch, if you ever read this pleae dont hate me becuase I still want to be friends, just not more:-)

― chasimino, Saturday, 22 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

back hair.

― Geoff, Saturday, 22 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My adams apple. it frightens me.

― phil two, Saturday, 22 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'd get rid of my body hair.

― Tabs, Saturday, 22 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I wouldn't be a fatty, I hate being a fatty.

― DG, Saturday, 22 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Actually, there is a second thing to change -- my bizarre unwanted body hair on my *shoulders*. Not thick, thank fuck, but what freak of genetic nature thought chest hairs should migrate up *there*?

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 22 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it's not a freak of nature, ned: you're a throwback but we love you anyway

(Totally the scariest moment in Alien Resurrection = dan hedaya's shoulder hair: am i right or am i right?)

― mark s, Saturday, 22 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I wouldn't change a thing. I'm perfect in every way.

Actually I can be an arrogant bastard.

― Ronan, Saturday, 22 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'd stop the ageing process.

― jel, Saturday, 22 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it's not a freak of nature, ned: you're a throwback but we love you anyway

I cuddle this feeling of love unto my bosom. *makes Neanderthal noises*

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 22 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would get rid of my man-breasts and take instead the 'no man- breasts' option. If this coincided with a general loss of body fat then fair enough but they've got to go.
