Super-Sized Me

Mrs. Appleton has been giving me magazines to read, so I can learn more about the outside world, or her version of the outside world. Mrs. Appleton's world seems to have a whole lot of fashion, romance, and makeup in it--but she also slipped in a news magazine, probably by accident.

The story on the cover was about "Our Super-Sized Kids"!!! For a moment I was really excited about the idea that I wasn't the only one!!! But no, the article wasn't about other people like me. It was about normal-sized kids who eat too much and don't get enough exercise.

Still, I probably brought the national average up a bit. I don't want to say exactly how much I weigh but it's over a ton and a lot closer to two. Compared to me, the "super-sized" kids in that story are featherweights. Even that kid on the cover with the five-scoop ice cream cone and broken skateboard!!!

  1. Heh heh you have to understand, supersized refers to people who are, let's say, not lacking in weight and have bulging bellies. Okay, fat. But yeah, it's a problem. What that magazine should mention at some point are the skinny kids too, we're talking thin, stickly figures who think they way as much as you. (No offense, you said it, I'm just making a point). You gotta love the obsession with weight issue though, it's kinda stupid, but it takes you're mind of other things. And it's funny, because everyone knows good excercise and eating right lead to a healthy life. (Ironically, I don't eat the most healthy, nor excerxise often, but I run alot in my school's hallway and mom always forces salad in my food, so I'm good). By the way, is there anyway you can visit your cows. What happened to them?

  3. Thanks, Willy--and thanks for worrying about my cows!!! I still have to pasture them and milk them twice a day, and today I washed them all in the creek cuz it's Tuesday. My new shed is close enough to our farm that I can go back and forth as much as I need, thank goodness!!!

    I haven't seen any movies yet, and I don't watch much TV, but I do read a lot. I have old books that Ma left me, like Alice in Wonderland and Gulliver's Travels, and some new books that Mrs. Appleton brought. They're all romance novels, and not very good, but I like having something new to read for a change!!!

  5. I reccomend reading Sherlock Holmes, the Hound of Baskerville, and an oldtime elementary favorite, just 'cause it was so good, Animorphs. It's about these 5kids who morph into any animal they touch and they fight to protect the world from ming controlling slugs. Sounds weird, but I promise, it's an amazing series, each book has an awesome stiryline, (some better than others). Or, you could read Monster, by Walter Dean Myers, about a 16 year old charged with murder, who talks about his days in court in a movie-like fashion, which keeps the book interesting. Anyway, give the cows my regards, including Tinkerbell (why name her after the pixie in Peter Pan?).

  6. By the way, this blogging thing is bad. I'm supposed to be Willy, not William.

  7. I like Tinkerbell in Peter Pan cuz she's so small but also so fiesty!!!

    My cow, Tinkerbell, was very small when she was born, so the name fit her. She's as big as most of the other cows now, but they're all kinda small to me!!!

  8. Two tons would be below average for someone who's 17' 10.5". Average weight would be closer to
    ([{17 + ¹⁰·⁵/₁₂} / {5 + ⁴/₁₂}]³) * 119 ≈ 4480 pounds or 2.25 tons.

Illustrator Challenge

Artists can create illustrations of me or the events in my life, as long as they are appropriate for my young readers. Any previous post on this blog can be illustrated. If I like an image that goes well with a post on the blog, I may add a small thumbnail version along with credit to the artist and a link to the full-sized image. Images of me posted elsewhere should link back to the "Giant Girl Rampages" blog.

If you want to draw a picture of me, here's what you need to know:

I'm 15 years old and almost (but not quite) 18 feet tall. Mrs. Appleton says I'm very pretty and well proportioned, which I guess is a complement. I'm not super thin or anything but I think I'm in pretty good shape.

I have dirty blonde hair that's kind of wild because I trim it with Pa's old hedge trimmers. My eyes are green as the ocean, as Ma always said, but I wouldn't know because I've never seen an ocean. My skin is tanned from being out in the sun a lot but not too dark and (usually) not burned.

I wear a blouse and skirt-shorts that my mother quilted for me three years ago. They look like a big patchwork cuz she used many squares of fabric and cowhide. I've grown since then, so the skirt-shorts no longer come down to my knees, my blouse is way tight, and there's a bit of skin showing in between. I don't have any shoes (and that makes me sad to think about so I usually don't).

If you do draw my picture, send the link in a comment so I can post it to my blog. Thanks!!!
