At the same time, I'd just heard of blogging and found the idea interesting and thought I'd give it a try.

• I mean, is 'fat' really the worst thing a human being can be? Is 'fat' worse than 'vindictive', 'jealous', 'shallow', 'vain', 'boring' or 'cruel'?

That's one of the reasons that religious station is so fascinating to me.

Humans seemed to me a rather bullying species, and I was on the side of the underdog.
