Oct. 25th, 2012 10:41 pmToday's mystery onigiri: UMEBOSHI fuck yeah win!
Amusingly enough, this month's bout of premenstrual annoyance with my body wasn't that I felt fat -- instead I've gotten enough thinner that my jeans don't fit right, and that annoyed me. I realize no one else in this country thinks I'm sexy, but I like feeling that way, and there is only a small size range in which a given pair of jeans can make one's ass look really good.
(Of course, once the "my uterus is an evil monster the size of three prefectures" phase began, I sure as hell felt fat again.)
Going to the zoo was actually a great choice for body issues, as usual. There are people in Japan who are shaped like lots of different things, not just tiny college girls. I saw white people and black people! (Though maybe I am more judgmental than usual about the way white girls dress -- every time I see one lately I think she looks like a tart. A tank top with arm holes down to the waist and just a black bra underneath is legitimately skeevy, though, right?) There were even times when I wasn't the tallest or widest person around, though I don't think anyone beat me for bustiness. And friendly little babies don't care, they're just glad someone is waving to them.
