Diary, Day Thirty-Six

Dear Diary,
Today was a reasonable day. Nothing much happened overall, until after lunch. In Drama (fifth lesson) we are doing a coursework preparation of a piece based on Anorexia. To show the extent of the condition, we were shown pictures of a young woman (naked, from the back) who had it. I was really shocked, and quite worried. I've been thin all my life, it's genetic, but when I saw my arms were the same as hers, I got really worried about it. Of course, everything lower than the arms was far, far worse, but I was concerned.

When I got home, I told mum all about my worries. She understood, also being worried for me. So I went upstairs, started playing Final Fantasy IX and talking to my friends on MSN. One of my newest online friends has a crush on me... and let me know by asking me out. I was really flattered, but I couldn't say yes. He lives so far away, and we'd only been talking for a week, so I simply said "Not yet". I myself want to... but not yet, we aren't ready.

So that's it, Diary. Thanks for listening. You're a real lifesaver!
