Win Lose or Draw
Posted on | November 30, 2008 | 9 Comments
Yesterday the Internet was like a mine field. Seriously. I was called fat. This, I thought was peculiar because I am many things, Internet, but fat is not one of them. I’m not particularly skinny either. Ask Kiala about the time we went to Forever 21 and I couldn’t zip up the size 28 jeans. What?!? I bike everywhere and I have a big butt.
And then AND THEN I went on Facebook to book the intermission act for Back Fence (Katie Jean Arnold singing pop Christmas carols!) and lo and behold were two friend requests — one from my 18 year old brother and one from my best friend from high school. Is it odd to me that my little brother is writing on my wall on Facebook? YES! Is it totally awesome that a friend who could tell storieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez about me in high school and college is now in touch and moving to Portland? YES!
Andy — remember when we’d drive around singing Erasure? So. Fun. And remember how we were heartbroken like 98% of our lives and also Roger? And La Jolla Denny’s? And when we were Laverne and Shirley and Squiggy for Halloween?
I love that so many of my California friends are coming up here. It’s terribly reassuring to develop a safety net.
Andy has always been an amazing friend and though he’s very gay, he allows me to flirt with him when I’m lonely and touch his hands potentially inappropriately. He’s good that way.
And I’m starting to knit up that orange yarn. So beautiful.

Don’t let them see you get upset otherwise the terrorists win…or something. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving and multiple portions.

“Just a torso”? What an odd insult. Reminds me of the guy in KIDS. “I have no legs!”

Um.
What kind of trouble are you getting into where the internets are being mean to you?
WTF?
You’re not fat. You’re hot.
Where are these people? Let me talk to them. I’m looking to kick some ass because I’ve been practicing boxing on our Wii.
I. am. good.
Nobody talks to the Lioness that way. NOBODY.

Who called you fat? Fuckers. Fuck them.
You are NOT fat. And FYI, I have a pair of those Forever 21 size 28 jeans and I can zip them up, sure, but then all my belly fat gets squished up into the muffin top. So I can’t really wear them. Yet.
Anyway, the point is, you don’t have a big butt. I just have a small butt and a muffin top.
Okay, now I feel bad about my body. I’m going to go eat a whole pie.

What Kristen said – what were you doing that you got into it with people?

You write, you knit, you cook AND engage in internet fighting. Wow. I love you.
Tell your ‘friends’ to come to my site. Then they can see fat. And if they get cheeky…then I won’t publish their comment.
Or maybe I WOULD…and my good internet friends would defend me!
YEAH!! send the fat haters over! I’ll publish their fat hating comments then SIC you all back on them AGAIN for being douches.
