I owned an ex flower car for a few years

With me it's pretty much 100% how I look. I don't find myself to be attractive at all, so keeping thin is really all I've got. As long as I can still identify most of the bones in my hands and wrists (and fit my fingers around my wrist, fingertips touching) without having to strain, as long as I've got prominent collarbones, and I can still feel all my ribs and my hipbones; as long as my face remains gaunt I'm ok. I subconsciously 'check' or 'measure' just to make sure I'm still thin.

I hate my thighs; I hate my calves. I've been trying to figure out a way to whittle them down to nothing more than fatless twigs but I haven't figured out how to sort of put them into a state of atrophy (they're so muscular, it sickens me).

I'm a little neurotic.

Ah so you've bought into the whole being thin is attractive message. I understand you want to be thin but you shouldn't want to have what little muscle you have left to go away.

There's also not being able to wear clothes that you like. Personally pulling off style is a big thing appearance wise that I enjoy, not necessarily having the best body, but to look interesting and representing yourself individually (not exactly having to be different than everybody else either) instead of carbon copies from a magazine.

Well I mentioned the models thing, it was just part of the whole body image issue that most women have and then they turn around and think that most men prefer rail thin women which is so far from the truth. I mean there are a few guys that do prefer thin women but the majority of guys likes a woman that is a bit more shapely. How shapely varies though.

It's weird how people treat the dead. We lay them out straight in expensive and beautiful boxes and hire posh cars to carry said boxes. But they're dead and so wouldn't care if they're thrown in a sack and dragged to the cemetry on the back of a tractor, or just left to rot at the side of the road. I think funerals are really for the living left behind, not the departed.

Have you seen the short film "Aftermath"? It's the only film that's ever literally made me scream just out of sheer disgust.

No. Is it about necrophilia? Not sure I'd wanna watch a film about that.

I have always said that. It is the main reason I don't even go to them if I don't have to.

I have problem areas as well. I don't think being skinny is attractive, especially really skinny where you feel like they can be broken in half if handled incorrectly. I don't think fat is attractive either. I'd rather be an average build. I think attractiveness is also the way you dress. I love my style. Piercings, tattoos, whacky hair, dark skin, jewellery, plain clothes. I wouldn't be able to pull it off if I were fat.

Yeah, I don't go to them either, not even when they're close friends and family. I want my memories of loved ones to be them alive and happy, not lying dead in a coffin or being lowered into the ground.
