My belly stings." - Today, Smashing Pumpkins

I was a teenage cutter. I have scars on my forearms and on my outer thighs. The one on my left arm is raised and it looks like I was digging for bone with an Xacto knife but the ones on my thighs are flat and very very white so they blend in a lot more with my legs. I had an ex tell me he actually thought they were sexy cuz I guess he was into scars. I don't know if that's really weird but I know that it will always stay with me cuz he went beyond not making me feel self conscious about it, and actually made me feel accepted about it and I appreciated that. I used to have some on my tummy but those faded pretty nicely and you can't see them anymore. Other than that I just have a couple marks from where my nipple piercings used to be and that's about it.

When is it okay to lie? Hrm.. never!

It's never okay to lie. If you're really trying to protect someone's feelings there is a way to say things tactfully without lying. I don't consider things I say lying when I'm joking and I tell them "not really" right after. I don't think that counts. I'm really against lying in a genuinely deceptive way. I'm very honest. Usually too much so.

In defense of my vice:

I don't do that. I believe in taking accountability for your actions. In fact, I'd prefer someone do something knowingly and genuinely not give a f___ then someone who was ignorant of how wrong it was or tried to justify it in their minds.

I could be thin if I could be consistent.

I like all sorts of physical activities. The sad part is I never work up the motivation to actually do them.

When I DO go to the gym, I'll hit the elliptical for about half an hour and then I'll do a Spinning class (stationary cycling) for about an hour, then when I get out I hit the weight machines for about 20 minutes. Burns like 1,000 calories a day.
I want to do that until I lose my added baggage because once I do get into better shape I want to sign up for some beginners Parkour classes up near LA. I used to meet up with Irvine PK some months back but I really just feel like I would benefit from hitting a beginners course first.
If I had the money I would love to sign up to learn Ninjitsu or Aikido or even learn to Tango! I often burn some calories when the random urge to dance possesses me and I go in my backyard and rave to some techno music or choreograph some hip hop in my head. I don't follow through much on that its just random bursts of energy.
My goal right now? Just be consistent enough to actually get in shape.
