Four full (very full) years of higher education

I may as well own up and say that this comic is, in fact, semi-autobiographical. Which means that yes, I was fat in college. Fortunately, no one knows that.

Wait. Oh, hell.

This one is based loosely on a random encounter I had with one of the popular girls from my high school class. She was working at a "lotion hut" when I saw her. She talked to me like I was an actual person, which was downright bizarre. When we ended up working at the same place during a summer in college, she at best avoided me, and at worst got nasty and treated me like crap.

Maybe I didn't waddle fast enough for her liking.

2. gutterstargazer - 23.04.2007 20:21 Eh, I wasn't emotionally crippled by it, though I still worry that people see me as fat, even though I've lost weight. (Actually, I recently wrote a blog about that - check out the "Sound and Vision" link on my page.)
   
   Basically, I saw myself as being unattractive for a long time, and I still struggle with it. Though having a boyfriend who calls me his "beautiful girl" and who always counters my self-deprecation with a positive statement has helped a lot. I'd be lost without my Boy. :)
