This isn't actually one that I received, for once - it's one I made up just for fun.

11) Um...I don't really buy other stuff on ebay.

15 Things I Like About My Body (Whoohoo for Empowerment):

1) The fact that I don't need blusher, mascara or lipstick - it always looks like I'm wearing it anyway
2) Clear skin (on my face, anyway - too many scars on the rest of my body)
3) The way my lower legs look in little crochet slippers
4) My good posture (well, at least Diane says I have good posture)
5) Muscles in my upper arms and calves
6) My breasts (OK, so it's murder trying to find a nice dress when you're a D cup. Whatever, I don't think I could get used to small breasts now, as much as I complain about mine.)
7) The way my skin stays soft even though I refuse to use lotions on it
8) The dimples in my cheeks when I smile
9) The way I crinkle up my nose when I laugh
10) The fact that I have hips, even when I'm thinner (yeah, I complain about this as well, but again, I don't think I could get used to a boyish body, as much as I want one sometimes.)
11) The way my eyes change colour with my mood and the seasons
12) My front teeth - even though half my teeth are manky, the ones at the front look good ;-)
13) My strong feet (dancing en pointe does that to you)
14) Full lips - I've FINALLY got used to them *rolls eyes*
15) My hair - I am proof that the less you do to it the better condition it gets into. I do nothing other than wash it every other day and brush it in the morning and before I go to bed. Occasionally I blow-dry, if it's cold outside or I'm going to sleep after washing it.

(OK, some of that sounds conceited, but people need to learn to love things about themselves. And hey, there's plenty that I DON'T like. *rolls eyes*)

15 Celebrity Guys I Totally Would:

1) Wentworth Miller
2) Tupac (if he were alive - not into necrophilia though)
3) Kano
4) Tyrese
5) Julian McMahon
6) Ne-Yo
7) T.I. (Dammit, Jade!)
8) Jay Sean
9) Simon Webbe

11) David Boreanaz
12) Omar Epps
13) Akon
14) Daniel Day-Lewis
15) Gregg Rainwater

15 Real-Life Guys Who I Think Are Damn Hott:

1) Curt ;-)
2) Nathan West
3) Nathan Forrest
4) Cameron
5) Michael Australia
6) Anthony Piper
7) Ellie's ex Steve
8) That bartender at the Penderel's Oak
9) Richard (OK, so I haven't seen him in 4 years - I bet he's still sexy)
10) Jamie from Camden
11) Mike the Marine
12) Becki's Ian (in a purely aesthetic way, dearest)
13) Michael the Physio
14) Angie's Paul (in the same way as Ian, LOL)
15) Frankly, I think I'm running out of guys. I don't want to put anyone from here on my list, so let's stop there.

(Notice that I did NOT put on any guys from college? I'll never tell who I have a crush on there!)

15 Things I Disagree With The Majority On:

1) I hated "Requiem for a Dream".
2) I do not think that Whitney Houston's voice is at all well-suited to "I Will Always Love You" (she's too strong - it needs to be sung in a fragile, breakable way.)
3) I do not think Stephen King is the greatest horror writer.
4) I don't feel threatened by my boyfriend reading porn.
5) People do not all suck.
6) Nietzsche wasn't all that smart - maybe he had a high IQ, but he knew squat about the ways things really are.
7) Quantum mechanics are actually pretty interesting.
8) Being "normal" is just fine.
9) It's better to be kind than funny.
10) Revenge doesn't usually make you feel better.
11) If one of my friends is bitching about me, I'd rather not know.
12) Suicide is NEVER justifiable (except maybe euthanasia, but IMO that's a different thing altogether.)
13) The Pussycat Dolls are basically bitches, and most guys don't like bitches, even when they look like THAT.
14) The answer to world poverty is not necessarily sending money to the poorer countries.
15) Chocolate doesn't actually taste that good.


...and now I'm tired. Fill in for yourself - or just fill in the bits that interest you, I don't care - and send back to me, por favor!
