Title: What Things Would You Not Change?
Post by: Pica Pica on October 21, 2008, 08:52:27 AM
Not ever.

I wouldn't change my voice, I wouldn't change the colour of my hair, or the colour of my eyes (though I would appreciate 20:20 vision).


You?

What is sacred to your view of yourself (whether physically or not).

It took me years to get comfortable with my singing voice, and I wouldn't change it. Why should there be a problem if I wish to appear female, and have a deep baritone?

I'm not sure. I could change most of my physical aspects. I don't think I have anything particularly sacred but when taken as a whole it forms who I am.

(you could get some laser eye surgery pica - worth every penny. I got it done 3 years ago and never regreted it.)

It's on the list. It's a bit of a luxury at the moment.

Yeah, it is pretty steep. The good thing about waiting is the technology is getting better and better all the time.

In terms of body modifications, that is at the top... The one I really can't work out is whether i'd like to be thinner.
Would give me more choices clothes-wise, but I can't work out whether I would like to be thinner, or if people just tell me I would.

My overall frame. Even after years of cycling, I don't really build muscle mass. I'll never have a body-builder physique, and that's fine with me. I like the long thin limb look.

I'd sometimes like a blade of grass physique - more of a pear though.

I'd definitely like to be thinner.  :laugh:  Like skinny boy thin.

I'd also have laser eye surgery...when I picked up my new glasses (I can SEE!), I was wearing contacts, but I had to put them on so she could adjust the frames...all I can say is good lord, I'm blind.

I want darker hair and paler skin.

I'd make my hair straighter!!!  I'm tired of having to use the ol' straightening iron.

And I'd make 'the girls' smaller...frankly, I'd like to be flat chested.

...seems like a lot, compared to the rest of you...

I wouldn't change the aspect of my life that allowed me to incorporate change rather than just be a victim of it.

I'd love to be thinner, but of course, I'd love to have been born as a Kennedy girl or a Rockefeller babe too.  Alas and alack.

I would not change the time, effort and cost of getting educated (in all the ways I've been educated) cause that stuff comes into play every day.

Really?  I always thought specs became you very much. They fit you, they add, not subtract. One of the most striking things about you is the way your bespectacled face and your despectacled face are like night and day.
Different sides of the same coin.

It's funny, I've always found my own flaws to be my most beloved parts of my physicality.

Well, I'm more pear-shaped these days. But, my frame is still the thin thing. My arms and legs are still quite thin. It's just me midsection that's thick.

that's not funny that's healthy. implies you've got this view of beauty that you are the master of, rather than letting a conventional view of beauty dictate stuff - a beauty that transcends gender (and that's no come on).

As for the eyes, I only started needing them when i was 17, i still don't think of myself as a bespectacled person.

My eyes, both shape and color. About one of the only things I really like about me.

I wouldnt change my slim physique either...Unfortunately nature (and my job) seem to be working on that <__<

Though I've often lusted after having striking emerald green eyes, I would never change my own blue color. Everyone seems to like them and so do I.

At times I also wish I had better vision because glasses get pretty annoying at times. On the other hand, I love wearing them and I think I look good in them. Maybe I just need new ones. ???

I wouldn't change my personality or my past experiences because they make me "me".

I like my eye color. :laugh:

Usually, they are blue...kind of a mid/dark grayish blue.  Sometimes (like when I have allergy issues), they appear to be a brighter mid/dark blue and then sometimes they just look gray or green.  They change a lot...

I don't think I would change a dollar for ten 10cent pieces. But I might change ten dollars for ten $1. That way I can play the spacies or the slot machines.  :)

hmm, I could go on for ages about what I would change, but the things I'd keep the same:

my wrists
my toes
my ears
my eyes (shape and color)
my lips
my mind
my fashion sense

I wouldn't change my shoulders. I love my shoulders, they're the most fit part of me (I swim). I wouldn't change my eyes, the shape or the colour. I wouldn't change... my neck, or the shape of my face (much), or the shape of my mouth.

Edit: Oh, and if we're getting into non-physical things, I don't think I would change my personality, or my sense of style. Those are a part of me whatever I look like on the outside.

This is going to sound strange, but I wouldn't change the scar I have on my right shoulder for anything.  I got it in middle school from my cat, and it's just a cool little scar.  I think it gives me character, especially since I like to show my shoulders in the summer.

I like my scars too. My hands are fairly scared for various reasons. Makes me feel like I have lived.

i'd never want to change my hands and wrists, despite them being really thin and feminine i love them. i wouldn't change my hip bones either, or my eye colour. oh and for non-physical stuff, i don't think i'd ever change anything... if i didn't like my personality i'd just change it now

My beautiful long dark curly hair and my hazel eyes.

Then again I may go thru a butch/shamed-to-be-femmy phase and cut it short again.

I wouldn't change my face, hands, feet and over-all stature.

I would change my age if I could go back in time. But that's another topic for another day.

I guess, if the things I would change are being changed towards my perception of perfect, I would leave nothing unchanged.

a better question would be - what would i change? (other than having my tits lopped off of course.)
you just don't get more perfect than this, baby!

:eusa_dance:The answer is that Nero wouldn't change the attidude. That is more important than anything in all too many situations.

  I definitely want to keep my ambition; it helps me feel motivated and focused.
  I also want to keep my curiosity; it is immensely enjoyable and useful as well.
  I'd also like to stay skeptical and cautious to avoid being hurt.
  And if course I'd like to keep my eclectic, dark and naughty sense of humor.  I'd've snapped by now without it.

I guess one of the things I would not change is the way I see things from both a male and a female perspective. Many people have told me that in discussions I always have a great viewpoint and opinion, although in some situations (in my male world) my view is not always appreciated.
