( Work stuff )
My youngest brother was quick to tell me that he was wearing middle bro's jeans (he actually started out the conversation with "how do my jeans look?", which I guess is guy-speak for "how do I look in my jeans?"), because he's lost enough weight that his jeans don't fit him properly anymore. He's managed to lose about 20 pounds over the last year and a half with only minor changes in his intake ("no soda" being the main one). I've never seriously contemplated the effects growing up overweight has on young boys. Young boys have always seemed to have more leeway when it comes to being large - they may be called "fat", but they're still generally considered date material and they're not called ugly. Or maybe I'm wrong about things. Anyway, my weight loss attempts when I was in high school were attempts to quiet the negative voices in my head and make myself more attractive to others. Little bro's weight loss is to improve his speed on the football field. *shrug*
Still reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I've just passes the Pemberley section (ahh, Pemberley...I'm totally flashing back to the BBC version here). The author's Victorian double entendres are completely hilarious (because I'm stuck in middle school I find Darcy telling Elizabeth "My balls belong to you" when she attempts to return the ammunition for the gun he lent her v.v. giggle-worthy). Gotta figure out what to read next.
Three and a half weeks until vacation. Can't wait!
