On a minor, perhaps less interesting point, I've vaguely become aware of a disability that I'm developing- can u 'develop' one??! I've been aware of this 'problem' of mine, but lately i swear its become more prominent which makes me feel especially super-duper when I'm feeling a little self-conscious when mooching around in public...
OK, i favour bags on the larger side. Alright, i admit it- i love to sling a sack of a bag over my shoulder which I pack with everything i might possibly need in life. Space is meant to be filled! It might mean I'll be a good mum though. Or the crazed 'mum on a mission to save all kids' who'll be leaping over small hedges to get to the child with the snotty nose with my pack of Kleenex that I ..er.. happened to have in my bag...
Check out the evidence first (and note that the fish-eye camera usually is without film, because i am also a forgetful retard)
That's right, two sets of keys, brolly and sunglasses (the sunnies are more positive thinking), Savlon, a drinks stirrer from a Malaysian hotel, two cameras etc etc etc. o also plus a bottle of water usually, you know just in case i find myself in a desert with no Starbucks in throwing distance.
So yeah. My problem. I walk with a lean to the left now to compensate the weight that should be weighing down my right shoulder. I really notice it when I'm casually walking along without a freaking bag and I'm still leaning! also, my fringe sweeps to the left so when the wind blows i instinctively turn my head a lil to the left so it keeps flat.. if you see a harassed looking dark-haired girl (with fringe, bag not a necessity) on a constant left slant shuffling down the street, be sure to say 'hi' and shield innocent eyes.
Seriously, this should have been on some kind of warning label:
'WARNING: Overload of bag turns you into a hunchback with a wannabe ghetto lean'
Ahh well I'm sure I'm part of a generation of over sized bag lovers who'll all be walking at a slant, as long i don't develop a limp or it will literally be like the living dead are stalking through the South-West...
Ha-ha! I tend towards larger, over-full bags as well. I must say using my backpack this year as alleviated a lot of shoulder pain!
