    <content type="html">One doesn't really appreciate how incredibly challenging it is to create something even vaguely resembling a human body until one rather audaciously attempts such a Herculean feat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The slithery serpentine limb issue seems to be mostly resolved for the nonce. However, the creature has now begun to manifest a certain...amoeba-like lumpiness. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Structural integrity remains problematic (and trust me, I know how that feels). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I made a head which is even roundish but how to attach it? The human neck is a mystery to me. Really, the entire spinal cord is quite a wonder, although now I appreciate why most guys get ported about in a wheelbarrow--they don't so much recline as flop. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I comprehend that there is only so much materiality and mobility to be attained through means of pillows and pantyhose, I still feel a certain degree of gilt in not being able to make my creature more...normative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This experiment could be itneresting to replicate within the scope of literature and disability studies courses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kestrell&amp;ditemid=95824" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
