I think I look my best naked. I'm thinking of joining a colony 
Really, though, I'm serious about thinking I look fine naked. Clothes cover and reshape the flesh, not always to advantage. Everything from my shoulders to my knees seems to look better without fabric squeezing on it.
So yes, I can look in the mirror and like myself.
I wish my chin were a little bit smaller sometimes, but I usually don't notice it.
Well, SBDB, have a blast! And Tristan, try to come back to us alive and whole

Hello gorgeous Phoenix Rose! Glad I got to see you before I went to bed! It's 1am again - and I need to get some sleep (beauty sleep... he he he 
) How did you go with the job application? I'm still sending positive vibes your way! 
I liked myself naked when I was 21 too... *sigh* I would like to like myself naked again - but it takes a very special light.... actually no - it just takes an off switch... 
Seriously though - I'm not ugly - just a bit disappointed in myself... make sense?
Anyway - Goodnight all you gorgeous people! - Magdalena x x x

I do. Then again I don't put many demands on myself. So, I guess I've met my own low standards. Hooray!

Mornin' Imponderables.
Good to see ya M4P.
Sorry about the classes Tristan.
Mags, had no idea of your age until yesterday (not that I took notice ).
Not too much to say at the moment. Left home angry. Does anyone else here have a problem being right ninety percent of the time and realizing that those who are wrong will never take heed of your warnings. I can't stand being right.

The problem is not that you can't stand being right. Isn't it more that you can't stand it when other people don't listen when you know you're right?
M4P, welcome back. Was wondering what had happened to you.

Here's the lowdown folks. Sister called cussin' at my mom this morning because her documents never reached her in Mexico. She can;t get back for her already extended court date and she may be facing federal charges. She has not filfilled a single thing in her case plan for social services. I'm not trying to get rid of the kids, but they do miss their mother and she does need to be with them. She is angy at my mom despite me telling them that she'd probably never recieve her papers in the mail if she had them sent straight to her. I told them to have them sent to an American office in Michuacan, but no one listened. Chances are someone else has her identity making it ten times harder for her to get back. I ain't one for hittin' women but I may take a two day trip just to bitch slap her and bring her home.
Just shit sick of all the crap. And more to think about. She AND her boyfriend my try to cross "else where". In which case, if she makes it home and he is with her, I have the sneaking suspicion that they will try and take the kids to wherever. Tryin' real hard not to revert to my old way of thinking, but disappearing some waste of space is not beyond me. Can't stand feeling like this.
That, and I may be becoming a functioning alcoholic. So no alcohol this week. No real problem with that, (went sober for a three year stretch), just worried as for the reason behind drinking in the first place

Quote:When I get cleaned up, put make up on, do my hair, that sort of thing, then yes. I have to say I am pretty happy with the way I look, clothed, naked, in a bikini (now that I sewed one myself that actually friggin fits!), whatever. But on days like today, when I've been working from the moment I get up in the morning until the moment I go to bed for the past few days, I look especially crappy, and I can't say I like it, lol. Working from home means not only do I get to work through "commute time", but it also means I don't have to worry about what I look like, most days. But I'll shower today and then it'll all be good.
how many of you shiny folk look in the mirror and like yourselves?
'Course, that doesn't mean that I don't hate my body. I think there are plenty of people who like the way they look but still hate their body or something about their body. For me, it's the illnesses -- autoimmune by definition means my body is attacking itself, so I can't help but hate my body. The joint pain is at a yearly low right now, but if past autumns are anything to go by, I'll catch some bug and the joint pain will flare up again, mostly likely meaning that I'll have to go back to working part time, rather than the full time plus I'm pulling right now. It's very depressing when my body can't keep up with my mind, and it's even more frustrating when my mind is clouded by the illness.
Oh, and the amount of hair I lose in the normal progression of the day has more than tripled and held at that level for more than three weeks now, which means that I have an alopecia areata spot starting up. It's been years since my alopecia was bad, and even though I know that it won't ever be as bad as trying to get through middle school with half of my hair gone, it's still not something I'm looking forward to.
Gah, sorry, just wanted to vent. So yeah, I hate my body for its insides if not its outsides. And I hate doctors for not giving a
about how I feel, because they think I don't "look sick".Anyway, I'll return you to your previously scheduled Imponderables.
