That was a pretty darn sudden attack of the fiction bug, all right.
Too funny, especially to a scrawn sufferer like me!

I actually did not find it funny. I found it quite meaningful. All my life, I have been told that I am too thin, yet I have always liked how thin I am. I enjoy it. Sometimes I argue with others about it, and I did so with my parents, once... they sent me to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist actually agreed with me.
Ah, days of glory....
