I would quite like crazy coloured crazy hair again
only this time for it to look sexy instead of butch. But equally, I love my natural hair colour/style, so it's unlikely to happen. I'd also like bigger boobs, but nowhere near enough to get surgery because breast implants freak me right the hell out.

I used to have pink streaks in my hair
but quite frankly both it and I looked awful
I wouldn't go above a D, they're too much hassle. The nice pert set of C's I had when I was about 17/18, I'd like them back.

Not much really
I'd like to lose a bit more weight but that's already a work in progress. Come back next June for the full effect to be in place. It's already been going for quite a while, but I'm getting there. It's finding the opportunity to get out and exercise that's been the problem lately with all this snow.

There's not much there, and you can only really see it when my hair lies in a certain way. What I don't want to happen is for lots of random streaks to appear all over. That would not be a good look.

Hurt it in a really silly power kiting accident about three years ago
It's pretty much better now, but I went through a period where I literally couldn't stand still for more than ten minutes at a time - even now I tend to pace a great deal rather than standing still, though it's only really out of habit these days.

The only time that injury bothers me now is if I have to spend a long time hunched over something which is very rare for me, so I'm not really fussed.

My back is hurting at the moment because of another unrelated but actually much more painful accident I had on Christmas eve. I tried to jump a 35ft ditch and... kind of didn't manage it.
(, Mon 3 Jan 2011, 1:36, Reply)
Ouch
Is it really bad, or just twinge-y?
(, Mon 3 Jan 2011, 1:44, Reply)
At the moment
Kind of twingey. It hurts more when I stretch one side, so sleeping was a bit awkward for the first few nights. I think I got about 40 minutes sleep between Christmas eve and Christmas day. Now it doesn't really hurt at all unless I forget and get up too fast or try to run or something silly. The amount it hurt at the time coupled with the way it's healed leads me to think I probably tore a muscle or two when I landed crashed massively into the ground.

Edit: I've had accidents from greater speeds and heights than this one, but this was by FAR the most painful at the time (way worse than breaking my toe, bruising my pelvis, subluxing my ankle and so on). Fortunately I don't have any bad signs (no numbness, tingling, reduced sensation etc.) that would suggest I've done something really serious.
(, Mon 3 Jan 2011, 1:48, Reply)
Oof
That sounds really quite painful. I'm glad that I do nothing active whatsoever, it sounds like it might hurt.
(, Mon 3 Jan 2011, 1:54, Reply)
You have to take the rough with the smooth
It's been about 18 months since the last big crash (shredded most of my right arm) so I was sort of due one. You do get a few accidents from time to time, but all the good days more than make up for the occasional week spent limping. In Karmic terms this is probably the payback for the days spent on lovely sunny beaches in Scotland and Cornwall last year.

You've got it all wrong
Summer days are for lazing. Fact.

Although interestingly enough (I use the term loosely) I remembered something after I posted the last reply.

I've fallen over onto the same knee three times (at least) in the past month (all pissed) and now my knee still hurts and if I press it I can feel stuff moving which shouldn't move. So my theory about not doing myself permanent damage in a beer garden may require some revision.

I used to do a lot of lazing
Until this summer, when I took up cycling in order to lose a bit of weight. After a while I really started to enjoy it, and now I actually get quite fidgety if all I have to do in a day is laze about.

If you keep it on for too long you can do more harm than good. Sticking it back under the cold tap would probably be better. At the first aid course I went on last summer, the advice was to leave burns under running water for at least ten minutes, however unconfortable that might be.
