Today I was standing in the faunal lab when a friend passed me, coming in to class. He turned immediately- still wearing his coat, his bag still in hand- and said, in a shocked voice, "Have you lost weight?"
"No," I tried to explain. "It's just this shirt, you know. It makes it look like I have-"
"Do you eat? You need to eat!"
"I eat!"
"You need to eat more!"
(I think this guy likes to analyze my clothes. Last week he complimented me on the sweater I was wearing: "I really like it! It's so green!" "Thank you," I said. "Especially the gradation," he continued, it being a sweater that's light green at the top and dark green on the bottom. "Uh, thank you," I said again. "It's done so well," he added. "I will, um, pass that on the dyers," I said, laughing. "Really?! Do you know them?" he said, and I had to explain that I was kidding, I'd bought it in a mall.)
And then, three hours later, I discovered that my newest pair of jeans, bought specifically to avoid this problem, fall off of my hips when I walk up stairs. Ahahahahaha, oh god I wonder if it's possible to die of malnutrition without meaning to.
"No," I tried to explain. "It's just this shirt, you know. It makes it look like I have-"
"Do you eat? You need to eat!"
