J is for all the Junk in my trunk
Aug. 8th, 2009 10:05 amI had the following conversation the other day;
Woman comments on the fact that she can tell I've lost some weight. I say, "Yeah it's because of the whole gallbladder thing. I'm having a hard time getting anything out of my food."
Her: "That's really good!"
Me: "! What? No it's not!"
Her: "Why? You're not happy about losing weight?"
Me: "NOT WHEN IT'S DUE TO ORGAN FAILURE!"
Her: "Oh, when you put it like that..."
The most fucked up part isn't even that I had this conversation. It's the fact that I knew I was going to have this conversation and I was waiting for it. I guarantee it won't be the only time, either.
My culture is seriously messed up.
