On the topic of self-esteem, I would like to point out that I am larger than the average Japanese male. Imagine how fun it was to prance around THIS place all day in my swimsuit with my oh-so-undelicate cellulite, and my belly fat (why is this valued in Japanese fish, but not women?)
I'm not sure how I managed. Probably my older brother was egging me on because he is missing a "risk sensor" and likes to do various things which have been interpreted as psychopathology (trying to determine the highest place he could jump off of and land successfully... setting himself on fire... um yeah). And my younger brother needed to have me around to temper the riskiness of older brother and save face. And the other factor is that I was not merely "larger" than other women, I really felt like I was in a different category(species?) altogether, ergo, no prototype for comparison. A rare terrestrial white whale.

Occasionally one sees a glimpse of the almost vertical slide in the flash animation in the background.
Although I *highly* doubt it, should this link include any uncivil content, I would LOVE a translation.
