out-of-left-field body image rambling

[fahye]

My legs feel strange.

Apparently jogging and stretching does things to your muscles. I think my quads might actually be trying to muster forces and invade my knees. I don't know if this is a good thing or not.

But I'm getting more flexible - my palms will lie flat on the ground when I touch my toes again, which is something of a relief - and I'm having a surprising period of feeling quite good about my body. I don't talk about this much (read: at all) because normally it's not a big deal for me, I have the requisite amount of feminine insecurity but I do get along quite well with most parts of my body most of the time. (There's a Montague-Capulet size feud running between me and my thighs, but hey, that's normal.)

But yes. I'm feeling distinctly positive at the moment, which is a pleasant change. I'm 5'6 and weigh 60kg (132 pounds or so) and whilst I do have Slavic Hips Of Doom (that's what my parents get for naming me after a Norse fertility goddess. I suppose I'm lucky I don't have extra rows of breasts.) I also got a waist into the bargain, so I am unfashionably but not unpleasantly hourglass shaped.

Now all I need is for pale skin to come back into fashion. Who wants to start a petition?

OH OH OH. ON A LESS TEDIOUS SUBJECT. If anyone has any Anna Nalick music they'd care to throw my way, that would be dandy. I've found a couple of fanvids with her songs and am craving more. I have 'Catalyst' but would love 'Consider This' (such a Starbuck song) or anything else anyone has.

Or THIS song. Which, again, I only have in fanvid form, and it's damn catchy.

*snorf*
the idea of you having an extra row of breasts is endlessly amusing. also, am exceedingly jealous of your waist, and as it's far more obvious than any possible thigh imperfections i think any insecurities are decidedly uncalledfor.

am downloading anna nalick as i type. ;)

You're a wonder. You really are. Tell me what you think of her, too!

I'm trying to decide which of these fanvids is the least spoilery, because I am damn well recruiting you to my OTP before I let you loose on BSG.

The only Anna Nalick song I have is Breathe.

Do you want, or do you already have?

Would like, say thankya! I don't have any except 'Catalyst', as yet.

Ta-dahh! (http://s45.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0KA6FK2VH6IIP2DKCOPWABPYCZ)

This is one of those songs that was playing on the radio ALLTHEDAMNTIME ummm. A year ago? I think. *cannot remember*

But! There you go.

Did someone say Anna Nalick? :) I'm a little bit in love with her music, as evidenced by my two music vids set to her songs. Here's Consider This, and a few other songs that I like.

YOU are entirely to blame for this newfound obsession. You and your vids :P

*downloads like a crazything*

Buy the album....

Hi. I recently bought the Anna Nalick album on import from JB Hifi. They are only charging $18.99 for it! Get your hands on it... piece of brilliance. I don't mean to creep you out, I found your blog through azraeljt.
