this may sound absurd -especially if you know that i've actually made a bit of money off photographs of my almost scarless bod- but i sometimes wish i had more.
source: i just saw Padma Lakshi (sp?) hosting one of my favorite shows. She has the mother of all scars down her right arm. I'm entrigued. Enthralled. Not only is it a contrast to her otherwise smooth flawlessness, but it speaks of some life event. something so out of the ordinary, that it left its mark, indelibly. there is no substitute for an event like that. a scar cannot be made without sacrifice. Even if you are the cause of your own scar, you did not gain it painlessly.
i know i'm weird, but i really do like them. i have one or two, and i cherish them. J has some and i love them. Scars intrigue me.
Maybe that's why i like tattoos so much.

Heh. I've discovered this fascination with scars too, particularly from women, lately.
They're sexy, apparently... I discovered it because of my pending surgery on my ab area.
Anyhow, post-op now, and they thankfully only did keyhole, so I doubt I'll have any ;)
