¡Hay Dios mio!

Basically, my body is the foreign film version of what I want to be. I weigh 165lbs which sounds fine but I’m 6′6″ (5′18″ or 4′30″) and I should weigh around 200lbs. I’ve accepted that I’m an ectomorph long ago and stop worrying about gaining weight once I heard that I had to consume 4,000 calories a day. Fuck that.

However, I think I’m going to GNC tomorrow to buy some protein powder. Why? Because a drunk “friend” of a friend said this to me, “Oh my God! You are sooo skinny! Did you lose weight since I last saw you? You look so…so…aw-switch-ee.”

I couldn’t make out that last word because she was so intoxicated. So I tried to clarify it by asking, “Did you mean ostrich-y like a bird?”

She slurred back, “No. I mean Auschwitz-y like Anne Frank.”
