Holy shit.

I get into some odd conversations on IM - if you want to know why, just look at my list of interests on my Yahoo profile - but this one has completely thrown me.

(21:14:32) [censored]: am well into one-legged guys
(21:14:45) Denny: don't think I've ever seen a one-legged guy at a club
(21:14:48) Denny: couple of girls
(21:14:50) Denny: weird
(21:14:52) [censored]: I wish
(21:14:58) [censored]: you will soon
(21:15:03) Denny: yeah?
(21:15:11) [censored]: I am having my leg amputated in the new year hopefully
(21:15:16) Denny: fucking hell
(21:15:19) Denny: seriously?
(21:15:24) [censored]: yea .. cant wait
(21:15:38) Denny: how have you managed to get that arranged?
(21:15:48) [censored]: yea .. I hate having two legs
(21:15:53) Denny: doing it abroad or something?
(21:16:09) [censored]: Am having my leg amputated in the Phillipines
(21:16:15) [censored]: my left one

Bloody hell.

It didn't baffle me, it shocked me. It's not that I don't understand his stated reasons for wanting to do it (the phrasing used was very reminiscent of hearing a TS describe why they need their surgery), it's just a sufficiently extreme desire that it makes my brain recoil in horror nonetheless. Much like any kind of extreme self-mutilation does, despite the fact that some would classify my piercings and tattoos as 'the same sort of thing'.
