So... I just came back from a lovely evening at 24 Linwood... Sorry I had to leave early, but I have to work in the AM. The house is gorgeous guys- nice job. :) And I met a bunch of new peeps- @twisted , @kookcity2000 , @hodown , @carolinian ... and saw lots of other people I hadn't seen in a while. Good people, good drinks, good food, lovely setting- thanks everyone.
So then as I gathered up my stuff to leave, my phone beeped at me. A message. I had yet another anonymous post-it.
This one says:
What a lovely way to end the evening!
I don't even know what to say.
Fat, huh?
Is that the best you can do? Pick on my physical characteristics?
Wow, I'm so hurt.
Either I am engendering a lot of ill will throughout buffalo and this is someone new, or, more likely, my previous 'hater' is back.
By resorting to petty, anonymous, name- calling you show yourself for who you are- a judgmental, cowardly, bitch.
I feel no need to defend myself to you.
Next time you feel the need to insult me, why don't you be an adult and sign your name.

p.s. Where were the e:larsons?
And p.p.s. To answer the question- yes there is a "fat chick" on the show- and for the record, she's the hot/sexy one.

This is the horrible part: when you showed up, I was drunk, and I thought to myself, "Oh, there's Jenks. Let me check: Is she fat?"
...
And after some covert (probably not all that covert; I was drunk. I apologize) evaluation, I was like, "No."
So I was real confused and thinking maybe it was someone else who'd posted that they were selfconscious about their weight...
But no, no, it was you who had someone being cruel about it, and your posting style's pretty distinctive so I was like, "No, I'm sure it was her."
So I kind of drunkenly stared at your various body parts for a while and the conclusion I reached, which I stand by this morning, is that if somebody's making fun of you for being fat it's because they're absolutely desperate to think of something. Because honey, no. There is an optimal quantity of Jenks in real life. They just can't think of anything else to make fun of you for. Which is sort of sad, I mean, academically, that they're so destitute of intellect, but I suppose it's a good sign for you, isn't it?
Anyhow, I apologize for the drunken ogling but I stand by my conclusion: anyone making fun of you for being fat is just trying to push buttons rather than making any kind of informed critique. (Well, I mean, duh, but it's rather like making fun of me for my curly hair. Um, what? I... no.)
I'm going to go attempt solid food now. Cross your fingers for me. (Speaking of fat. But you know, I am at peace with my fat rolls. Winter's coming and I need the insulation.)
