… about yourself, what would you change?

Personally I have already changed the one thing I desperately wanted to change; I have had a breast reduction at the age of 17 years old. I didn’t have the surgery because I wanted to look better, I mainly did it to get rid of the neck, back and shoulder pain it caused.

It has been life changing for me; the pain in my back, neck and shoulders disappeared,  it gave me more confidence (being called nasty names like slut and whore just because you have big breasts is not helping with boosting your confidence), I could run again without pain and it was easier to fit in certain clothes, not to mention all the cute bra’s I could finally buy.

Is there something that you would like to change about yourself?

I saw a little test on Blog Things about honesty and thought it’d be fun to do. I consider myself to be fairly honest. I don’t shy away from telling someone how it is even if that means telling something what the other person doesn’t want to hear.

In the test however they had one little question about taxes and yes -  I admit it - once I wasn’t so honest about that. Ticking a box that I wasn’t supposed to tick so I didn’t have to pay as much tax. But in my defence I would like to say that I didn’t ask for the refund at the end of year that I was entitled to so I guess that evened it out.

The results of my test:

You Are Somewhat Honest

You do tend to tell the truth a lot
But you also stretch the truth on occasion
You figure a little lie isn’t a big deal
As long as it doesn’t hurt anyone too much!

How Honest Are You?

You know that feeling of being bored and wanting to do something fun, but yet feeling like not doing anything? Well… that’s the kind of feeling I’ve been having lately. I guess I just don’t know what to do with myself.

I bought heaps of books at a second hand store, but I don’t feel like reading them. I get on the internet, but after going through my RSS reader and emails and finding out that Entrecard is once again loading terribly slow I just feel like getting off-line again.

Maybe it’s just all the headaches that are doing my head in, I don’t know… Hope I get in a better mood soon.

I confess: I am a big sissy! I have no problems watching cage fighters beat each other up to the point where the blood is pouring out of numerous cuts, but when it comes to looking at my own blood or watching surgeries on TV I am the biggest sissy in the world.

This morning for instance I tried to watch the program Body Work on TV. Body Work is a program about plastic surgery and they show the surgery in lots of detail. You can see how they cut the people open, peel the skin away, ‘butcher’ the people who have liposuction, etc. Usually I don’t watch that sort of stuff because it makes me feel sick, but this morning I had somehow convinced myself that I could watch it. I had convinced myself that I have a strong stomach and that it was time to stop being such a sissy.

I was alright during the first surgery and felt proud that I had watched all of it. But as the program progressed I felt a cold sweat coming over me, I became light headed and slowly I could feel my stomach turn. I knew where this was going; I was about to faint.  I wanted to change the channel but the remote was laying on the table and I was afraid that if I got up I would faint. So I closed my eyes, tuned out and concentrated on taking big breaths. It took about 15 minutes before I felt better again.

Lesson learned; I am still a big sissy!
