I am, uh... a 6 foot tall woman, I feel like I'm a healthy size, I'm not anorexic; and I feel that people who aren't anorexic are punished... for not being anorexic.
When you go in and do a cool, small character, it feels less like work and more like fun.
When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.
