But because I’m still a novice at all of this, a piglet, just now learning about discipline, it’s still mostly about good eatin’. When my friend and I revisited the "What deadly sin are you?" conversation, he said, "Ah, but it hasn’t gotten to the point of being a true sin yet. For you, it’s more like a hobby." This made sense to me—maybe only when I’m having my fourth angioplasty will I consider gluttony a sin with dire consequences. For now all I’ve had to deal with, through a combination of gluttony and deeply lamented sloth, is being slightly more rounded than the sleek-as-Calvin-Klein-lines we Asian females are supposed to have. This, I can deal with.
That said, I’m hungry. It’s lunchtime.
