how much of you is "real"?

chicken · Mon Oct 04, 2010 4:31 am

this thought came to me last night while brushing my teeth:

my body is still 100% its own. i never broke a bone, i still own all my teeth (well, except my milk teeth of course), my tonsil is still in, i never had any surgeries, ... i think this is actually quite rare, i hardly know anybody who either has no broken bone or all his original teeth. let alone BOTH.

soooo, TE, how much of YOU is real?

My #1 (front teeth) is chipped, but I never had anything broken, and appart from my tonsil, nothing has been taken out (or taken into

) my body!

im still pretty much whole. never broken a bone, all my teeth intact - wisdom teeth even still in place (not for long). i have had a couple of surgeries, but nothing too intense.

No broken bones here! I've only had my wisdom teeth out, but that's really it.

Everything.

I rarely wear makeup, have no piercings, never had surgery, tattoos, broken bones, or anything of that sort.

Well I had a tetnis shot recently and I just took some ibuprofen so I'd say right now 99.8% of me is real.

But other than that no. I've only gotten a hairline fracture in my middle finger when I was 10. I have some chipped and otherwise damaged teeth, sadly, but even with my dental plan I don't have the money to get fillings yet (probably more information than you needed to know, but whatever).

No tats, obviously, as they're against my religion. Same goes for piercing.

oh yea right, wisdom teeth... i was at the dentist last week and she was like "oh my, i hardly see teeth so beautiful... ah well, lets check out your wisdom teeth... uh-huh, oh..." and i was thinking: "OH? OH?!?!?! WTF DOES THAT MEAN?!" and so i asked "uh, is that a good or a bad OH?" - "for you? a good oh, they're coming out very straight, beautifully"
i wanted to smack her face for scaring me like that. i really DO have a paranoia about dental stuff. if i ever had tooth decay, i dunno what i'd do but damn, those things creep my out.

also, i dont have tats or piercings or stuff. some tattoos may look good but piercings in general are just disgusting, i dunno, i just dont like em.

Depends on what you consider real. A broken bone is still your bone when it recovers without metal bars in it.

And I dare to say that all of us have had at least several vaccinations

I had a birth mark removed on my back when I was still a small kid. And all 4 wisdom teeth are removed. Apart from that I didn't have anything 'serious'.

Incidentally, this goes for me as well. No tonsils and half of my front tooth is fake.

Tonsils out, and that's about it. Never had any serious problems.

still got my tonsils and all my teeth. wisdom teeth havn't come in yet, and i dont think they ever will... unless that's what these crooked teeth mean.

ive had earrings since i was five though. so i guess... im a robot ._.

Oh yeah, forgot about removals. Had my tonsils and adenoids removed when I was in the 7th grade because they were inflared and obstructing my airway when I slept. I still suffer from mild obstructive sleep apnia to this day. And you think my voice is high and nasaly now, imagine back then when my airway was obstructed and I was prepubescent.

I have never broken any of my bones, and I still have all my teeth; that is, all 25 of 'em (that's all that ever formed).

In fact, up until I was about 16 or 17, I still actually had one of my milk teeth too! It was one that was located directly above a gap in my adult teeth, so never got pushed out, even though it was disconnected from the blood flow in my gums. Eventually it became so brittle that it cracked and fell out in pieces.
