Image - webcam photo of me wearing no make up and a black cord blazer looking like business.
I went to the movies with Nick. We saw Bridesmaids. I didn’t find it that funny and that was disappointing. Also the seats were incredibly uncomfortable, somehow we always forget that Balmoral cinema seats are terrible for people with fat hips and big shoulders. I was so uncomfortable and irritated that by three quarters of the way through I just wanted to leave. I laughed at the vomiting and pooing and the bit on the plane but the rest was pretty slow moving. All the bits with fat bodies made me flinch because I was waiting for the predictable gags to be made about how terribly ODD and GROSS and FREAKISH fat bodies are, especially sexual fat bodies.
We left the cinema and went for a toddle to get coffee. I didn’t wear makeup, even though I have a massive blemish on the bit where my cheek meets my chin. I have conveniently turned my face so you only see a little of it in this photo. But I felt ok about being in public without make up. And i ordered something and talked to wait staff by myself. That’s pretty big. I hope my anxiety returns to it’s regular levels and that I can awkwardly manoeuver my way through life like I did previously, before I was completely thrown by the epic Graves-induced breakdown of 2011.
This has been a tumblr post. Good day.
