AAARRRRGGG!!<------That's my pirate ego speaking up, and she's (YES she!!!) is EXTREMELY vexed!! Actually I feel more like laughing like a loon, just yelping to the sky, and asking why I have to imitate art?!?!

Ok, here's what happened.....I can't believe I'm telling you people this but here it goes....(takes a deep breath).....my kitchen chair just bent itself to the floor underneath me! Yep! that's right, I'm sitting there, minding my own business and then "POOF" I'm on the floor on my back, STILL SITTING ON THE CHAIR! Looking my poor confused cat right in the nose!

I feel like I should be in "Shallow Hal" not in my apartment! I mean crap, I know I'm overweight, but seriously folks...WTF!!!!! Now granted it's an old chair that's been giving way ever since we got it....but how am I going to explain the deformed midget chair sitting UNDERNEATH our dinning room table to my boyfriend when he gets home from work??!?!?!?! And even better, how do I do it with dignity, and not bursting into gales of laughter at remebering the cat's look of horror and confusion??? I mean if I can't stop giggling about it now, how am I supposed to tell Plato with a straight face?!?!?

What's even worse and adding to the giggles is that it happend while I was researching the effects media has on women's self-esteem and the perpetuation of thinness = beauty. I mean, how can it NOT, especially if fattness = bent kitchen chairs?????

Ok, I think I'm done making jokes at my own expense...for now. And for some odd reason I thought I'd share with all of you. So there you go!
