Got a collection notice from Avenue credit card. Yeah ok, I'll call to make arrangements for small payments or something. I'm glad it's closed. I never expected to actually GET a credit card and shouldn't have used it in the first place. Avenue changed to juniors sizing RIGHT when I got it, so by the time I was actually able to buy anything I couldn't wear it.
I do need new clothes. And shoes. I have literally worn holes in goddamn near everything, including my shoes. :< This is a situation where I wish I could just drive myself and be on my own time, without Ryan hovering around being bored and cranky, or being dragged along by normal-sized people on a Gulag strip mall deathmarch to bullshit stores where nothing ever fits me and costs 20 times more than it has any right to. I love my friends, but not a single one of them is fat. I always feel like gross cowpig hobo trash trying to go shopping with any of them.
Speaking of which, I was on some board or other and a "curvy girl" thread came up. One of the pictures was described as "in danger of future ambulocetosis." I had to Google it like I'm sure more than 3/4 of the thread did.
Ambulocetus = walking whale
Ambulocetosis = syndrome that makes you a walking whale
OH I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE, COOLGUY
It still makes me laugh. Never mind that Ambulocetus looked more like an alligator than anything fat. I never got the "whale" comparison as an insult. Whales might have thick layers of fat, but most are shaped long and sleek. Walrus or manatee would really be more accurate.
