I've come to accept the fact that I will die someday. What I have a hard time accepting is that the people I love will die (and will likely die before me). I could actually write quite a lot on how I came to accept my own mortality, and how I think of it almost every day. Ideally, I'd like to be cremated. I don't want to be left to rot in the ground, but I say that in consciousness - in reality, I won't be able to give a shit.

I have a wish to be interred in my car, but it's illegal here

What do you mean by that, exactly?

It's illegal to be buried in your car in this country

I never knew there were countries where people could be buried in cars. Just ... literally ... buried? That's it? No embalming, no special anything, just throw the body in the car and bury it?

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.

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.

I'd imagine you'd be embalmed. i've seen documentaries where people have been buried in their cars in america and germany..........another odd thing here is the height of your headstone is limited to a standard 90 cm

Weird. I've seen headstones higher than trees in cemeteries here in the states.

I wonder why they'd even bother to embalm you. The weight of the dirt is just going to destroy the car and rip your body to shreds anyway.

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.

You sound quite attractive, actually...lean and muscular.
