You know, a lot of people have an idea of what they look like, some physical ideal they carry around in their heads. It doesn't have to have anything to do with reality - they move they way they feel.
This is me in my head.
This is me - in reality.
Is it any wonder that I feel a bit schizophrenic in my body image? Still, that doesn't keep me from trying to get away from my hobbit body and inhabiting my Navi-body. Though I'd rather not be blue. Or have a tail.

I think I'd enjoy having blue skin. I wonder if I still have rosacea? Rosy cheeks on blue skin? Might be cute.
I have rosacea too. Actually, blue would be a nice change!
Haha! "I see you Sayre!" I also hear you, I think Im a bit the same way.
Well it's obvious.... give up the pipe man!
Seriously, we all have those visions.. or at least I do...plus the rosacea. I've learned that I will never see myself the way others do... and I think that may be true for everybody. Remember that please.
But wouldn't the tail come in handy if you wanted to hang from a tree? :-) My sweet pilates teacher says that we're too hard on ourselves when it comes to body image. Me, I think it's hard to argue with the mirror.
We played a game once: "What would you do with a tail if you had one?"
We were lying on top of a house boat at night in the middle of Lake Powell. There were about 8 of us.
It's a wonder someone didn't roll off into the water because we laughed so hard.
So, how would you use your tail if you had one?
Don't forget the pointy bat-like ears! Who'd want those?
