This is kinda' embarrassing and yuppie, and so counter to my usual counter-culture self, but it's a big deal to me, so I have to announce it -- I joined a gym. And working out is, like, fun, dude. Except for the part where the walls are covered with mirrors so I have to gaze at my puffy, pasty self. But it's fun to think that I'm actually doing something about my horrible body image, since I don't have the cash for plastic surgery. Also, surgery hurts, I've been told. More than just a tattoo.
