If you were given the power to change one thing about yourself, what would it be and why? Would it be a superficial change or a change within? For me on the inside I think I am a really good person, so mine would be a superficial...

How are you with your 'body image'?

Just an Ordinary Owl? @owlwings (43897) • Cambridge, England 1 Jul 09
