What A Jerk!!!

Okay, so imagine this . . . I'm sitting at a table in a room chatting with a girlfriend. We're discussing animatedly the trip we're going on together. She says - can you believe it's less than two weeks away?! I say - I know! I've already starting thinking about what I want to pack! *embarrassed smile* Off to my left I hear a quiet comment. I'm not certain, but I think she said "It doesn't matter what you wear, your friend is so much thinner and prettier than you - you're just going to look like a blob anyway." I ignore it - I'm still excited and I continue with our chat by saying - "I am so excited about the shopping we'll be able to do!" And again, the person to my left says something I can't quite make out, but sounds suspiciously like "Good luck finding anything that looks good on you." I continue bravely on, trying to be the bigger woman - "ha ha - you're always the bigger woman" - I turn sharply to my left only to find no one sitting there. Realization dawns on me like the bursting forth of the morning sun - all of those comments were made by the mean little self-hating demon I keep inside my head.
