I am saving this link because it is like perfect for Kaz (he loves Corona). So if I can't find pjs or cute ice cube trays here is a good backup.

So yeah now for some venting. The other day one of my third grade girls asked me if I was pregnant? Wtf? It was so totally bizarre that it didn't even occur to me to be offended. I mean yeah I've got a little chub in the belly area but it's not pregnancy looking chub - I've never ever ever ever gotten that question in the States and you know how notorious we are for inappropriate questions! Granted I was wearing a hoodie at the time and being that it's a Japanese hoodie (i.e. not designed for anything with curves) it does make me look much bigger, so I guess that was why... but they've all seen me wearing this hoodie since like September, and obv. if I were pregnant I wouldn't have the same practically non-existent baby bump for um 8 months.

On the other hand I think they've only figured out I have a boyfriend in the past few months, so in their 13 year old brains I guess boyfriend + fat girl = must be a baby makes sense.

But add this to the fact that a few weeks ago Kaz - trying to be funny I think - told me his best friend thinks I'm fat. Excuse me? I don't care if you think that's cute or funny or whatever, you don't tell a girl that. Especially a girl who is only like 108 lbs and already feeling insecure in this stupid country. Then he's like "No no, he said chubby! He was smiling!" Yeah that totally makes me feel better about a total stranger calling me fat.

Okay!! I get it that winter clothes, hoodies, and t-shirts make me look like a whale. I have boobs, it happens. Jesus Christ, get over it Japan. Just look at me, I'm not fucking fat you anorexic whores.

Anyway. I get to leave work in half an hour because of some sports day thing I can't participate in due to being a cripple. In the meantime my JTE gave me some vegetable juice to enjoy and I was pretty excited about it because I love vegetable juice, but I think the Japanese stuff must have a lot more carrot in it because um barf :(

Mood: disappointed

Some Japanese girls are so disgustingly thin, I vomit in my mouth a little when I see them. They have rail thin legs ;____________________; So traumatizing.

omg I know right. I've managed to teach my bf the "she needs a cheeseburger" line when it comes to Japanese girls, but the problem is when he sees any western girl with the same problem he's just like OMG SO HAWT. It's disgusting.

What? Maybe I'm in the wrong area cause all the Japanese girls I see have giant tree trunks for legs.

Oh Japan. I felt completely racist and crazy telling a friend at work that "of course Wii Fit calls you fat, it's made in Japan."

you think that's crazy, I was watching this TV show a few months ago where they put these three girls on crazy, unhealthy crash diets (eating nothing but mikans, grapefruits, or bean sprouts in vinegar respectively) and none of them were fat. The bean sprouts girl was pretty chubby but not unhealthy or obese, and the two fruit girls were not even overweight. They only had muffin tops because the producers shoved them into tiny spandex pants D:<

Aw D: I feel sorry for you and the boobs!prejudice. It um.. makes you special? :c

~~If it helps, I see a lot of smallboobs!prejudice here in America? lolz~~

Although I'm sure I'd be seen as fat over there, too, but because of my bottom half. I haz curves lol.

108 pounds? Wth... you likely weigh less than I do, and I still get called 'skinny', even at my biggest size. Sigh.

Oh, they have no problem with my boobs. What they want is my boobs on a stick thin, 6' blonde.

And well, none of your weight goes to your tummy, so of course you get called skinny. :)

They've asked me and one of the JTEs if we were pregnant too, and at the time they knew neither of us had a boyfriend. I think sometimes they're just crazy!

Hahaha yeah that's another thing.

I usually don't mind the usual intrusive "Are you married? Do you have kids? Do you have a bf??" line of questioning from them because they're just kids and it's kind of funny, but obviously looking at my stomach and then busting out with a "SENSEI ARE YOU PREGNANT??!!" (complete with demanding-explanation-particle-の) was a bit much even for me :(

Oh yeah, it's definitely inappropriate, and middle schoolers (and high schoolers!) should know better. I like to think they just really want us to have babies, and not that they think us westerners are fat. Cause we're not.
