size is JUST a number...

I'm in the library right now.
About to start homework.
Just needed to do some venting first.
Earlier, I was is in Melissa's room, with Chelsea and Sarah (her roomate) and we were talking about shopping, and I mentioned how difficult it is for me.
Seriously. It's frustrating when you spend an hour and a half trying to find jeans and you only end up with two pairs because either they don't carry your size or they just don't fit.
They all got really annoyed with me.
Because I happen to wear a size 0.
*oh my goodness!* It's out! I'm a toothpick! *mock shock*
If I wore, say, a size 7 or 9, they'd probably agree with me.
But no.
I can't help my size!!!!! It's not my fault!
I have just as much a right as anyone to complain about shopping because of sizes.
They were all like "Gee! I don't have ANY sympathy!" It's like they were pretty much saying that I should enjoy not being able to find anything that fits me because my size is a small number.
And they weren't polite about it.
I found it REALLY rude.
And it angers me a lot.
All I have to do is mention my size and it's dirty looks all around.
I CAN'T HELP IT!!!
And then Chelsea goes "it's like my friend this one time, she called me to say she found this dress, but they didn't carry it small enough for her, so she ended up with a 5, and she's all 'it's like a circus tent on me!!' I had no sympathy whatsoever."
Heh...yeah...a size 5 wouldn't even stay up on me. Size 3s (in dresses) are slightly larger than circus tents.
It just REALLY bothers me that people get SO rude when I mention my size.
I'm not showing off about it.
Seriously.
WHY do they feel the need to act that way towards me????
This is just how I'm built. It's how I've ALWAYS been.
I have no control over it.
It's really frustrating.
I have a right to complain.
You know why?
SIZE 0 JEANS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. SIZE ONE PROM DRESSES ARE EVEN MORE RARE.
It's even *more* frustrating with jeans because only 2 or 3 brands actually fit me.
I learned this the hard way after Christmas last year.
It's MORE than frustrating when you find a bunch of really cute jeans, you think they'll fit and you'll actually get a few to decide between, and none of them do.
Either way too small, or, in a couple of instances, too big.
I don't react that way to other people when they mention difficulties in shopping or anything like that.
SO DON'T DO IT TO ME!!!!!!!!
:P
