Part of the whole Desiring to be a machine thing is just so that I can figure out what problems are with my body. Something, and I have no idea what, has lit a bunch of the tendons, joints and muscles in me on fire today, and I have no idea why. Is it that however I injured myself a week and a half ago in a near-miss on the road is still manifesting? Is it something related to diabetes? Did I somehow sleep in the perfectly wrong position last night? Is it something else going on? I don't know, and if it's not this bad tomorrow, is going to a doctor going to actually reveal anything, or just be a dead end that costs me $100?

At least if my body was synthetic, I could take Parts out, run diagnostics, swap things and inspect for damage, or order new parts if something's failing. I am so tired of hurting or getting sick and maybe 1 times in 10 finding an answer. I had a good run of about 5 months without major health issues but that accident-not-accident might have really fucked things up

This is an almost daily discussion I have with my roommate. Being a machine I could not only swap parts out if necessary to remain functioning, I can also swap for my mood. Am I feeling short today, tall, heavy, male, female, none, etc? Just attach the relevant parts inflate the "gut" to appear heavier when I feel heavy. Am I going to be doing a lot of lifting today? Alright put in the heavy load arms and legs with the reinforced central chassis so I can. I wish I could have a robot body so bad and not deal with this... fleshy thing anymore. "Oh I'm feeling under the weather today" check sensors "Ah, my secondary battery needs replaced as it's no longer charging properly and my thermometers are reading that I am overheating, so I need to increase my cooling."
