2004-09-27 [unlikelynominee]: Well then it's not "pack much back", is it?

2004-09-27 [Hermes322]: No it's not. It's "Little in the middle but chu got much back."

2004-09-27 [No Regrets - Only Hope]: people say "pack much back" here, I guess. lol

2004-09-28 [MadBiscuit]: I'm just confused now.

2004-10-01 [No Regrets - Only Hope]: Yay! Chicken Eating Squirrles! And GOLLUM! I don't care how lttle hair he has, he's still cute.

2004-10-01 [Draco Dralion]: Lol, my grandpa would like to hear that :p

2004-10-01 [RubyRed RagDoll]: Both my grandpas have a full head of hair...

2004-10-01 [No Regrets - Only Hope]: Only one of mine does. But... Gollum.... He can't help his sliminess!

2004-10-01 [RubyRed RagDoll]: slimyness? That's a great word!

2004-10-01 [RubyRed RagDoll]: or in gollums words, "ssssslimeeeeeeeenessssss... preshussssss...."

2004-10-04 [No Regrets - Only Hope]: XD Yeah... "He's gots it in his pocketses..."

2004-10-04 [No Regrets - Only Hope]: "My Preciousssss...."

2004-10-04 [No Regrets - Only Hope]: *gollum* *ack* *gollum*

2004-10-05 [Draco Dralion]: If he would eat more, he shouldn't be that sim you know :p

2004-10-05 [unlikelynominee]: He's one of those cases where the models finally got to him. "Must be slim *GOLLUM* must keep figure.. yessss precious...figure is everything, EVERYTHING!" See?

2004-10-05 [No Regrets - Only Hope]: Gollum, you must realize that being slim isn't all that attractive. In fact, according to recent studies, people who pack more wait (but not too much) and eat three full meals a day are the healthiest people and live the longest.

2004-10-05 [RubyRed RagDoll]: But Gollum was itty bitty and he lived an unnaturally long life...

2004-10-05 [Deadly_DNA_Girl]: lol... the only difference is, gollum aint from this planet ;)

2004-10-07 [No Regrets - Only Hope]: Yes he is, just a different part of it.

2004-10-07 [No Regrets - Only Hope]: And the only way he lived so long is because of his precious.

2004-10-07 [MadBiscuit]: Of course.

2004-10-08 [Draco Dralion]: Lol, new in store... the "preciouss ring". <small char mode>The company is not responsible for further sideafacts such as invisablity</small char mode>

2004-10-08 [No Regrets - Only Hope]: lol, nice

2004-10-08 [No Regrets - Only Hope]: my friend Garret bought LOTR Monopoly... And they gave him the precious as a playing piece! I was so jealous..

2004-10-08 [MadBiscuit]: I want that...

2004-10-08 [No Regrets - Only Hope]: But then my other friend Brad lost it, so we're all ringless.

2004-10-10 [MadBiscuit]: lol

2004-10-10 [No Regrets - Only Hope]: stupid brad

2004-10-10 [MadBiscuit]: hehehe...^_^

2004-10-10 [No Regrets - Only Hope]: Well, he is! >.<

2004-10-17 [No Regrets - Only Hope]: lol

2004-10-18 [Draco Dralion]: Don't change the topic DNA! there was a question asked...

2004-10-18 [Deadly_DNA_Girl]: what question? *scratches head*

2004-10-18 [MadBiscuit]: The one about whether we have a banner.

2004-10-19 [Deadly_DNA_Girl]: uh... oooh yeah... didn't see it :p  do we actually have a banner? haven't seen one, so I guess not :s

2004-10-25 [RubyRed RagDoll]: We need a banner.... Someone should come up w/ something! I would, but I'm not too creative

2004-10-26 [Deadly_DNA_Girl]: uuh.... perhaps I could, but I'm doing a lot of things at the mo

2004-11-04 [Hermes322]: http://www.illwillpress.com/vault.html go to the Fatkins Diet. It brngs a lot of good points, I think

2004-11-04 [VorpalBlade910]: FOAMY!

2004-11-04 [Hermes322]: LOL EYE STIGNATA!

2004-11-28 [Jeesum Crowe]: This place is really neat. I like how everyone is supporting themselves in the way they look. I wish everyone can do the same some day. I think if you're interested in this page (which I've just happily joined) you'll be interested in Anti-Ana. I'm glad, again, to know that a lot of girls and women out there are aware that they are beautiful the way they are and they don't need to conform to the supermodel body.

2004-11-28 [No Regrets - Only Hope]: HELL YEAH!

2004-11-28 [Jeesum Crowe]: lol I like how you put it

2004-11-28 [No Regrets - Only Hope]: Me?

2004-11-29 [Draco Dralion]: Hey jees, nice you joined this wiki, I'm glad you think this way. But there's something that I not agree with your wiki. It's an anti eating disorder wiki it says. Well, I have problems with the fact that Anorexia and other eating disorders are actually diseases, and well... I don't know how to put it, but if I would be such a patient, I would feel very bad if I saw such page, people hate me for my disease. You know what I mean? I hope you do, cause it's hard to explain.

2004-11-29 [Jeesum Crowe]: Yes, but there's a difference with eating disorders and things such as cancer or even the flu. When you have other illnesses they are things you have no choice in. Anorexia and bulimia and related eating disorders are things that with will and help you can overcome. They've also been brought upon by society and the media and how they made boys and girls feel the need to be thinner, and thinner in order to be beautiful. When I speak of anorexia, etc I mean the fact that we can help those who are and save so many lives and we can show that society doesn't need to be emaciated if we can only prove that anorexia, etc are bad. It's definitely not a personal attack on anyone with an..

2004-11-29 [Jeesum Crowe]: ..eating disorder. I don't hate anyone for their disease, I hate the disease. It's like with suicide. Suicide is a choice. I could very easily be anti-suicide, but I wouldn't hate someone simply for the fact that they were suicidal. Because I am anti-suicide doesn't mean that for me there is a marr on the name of all who have killed themselves. I don't agree with the choice, but I could love the person.

2004-11-29 [Draco Dralion]: I totally understand what you mean, but that's my point. In some cases you can't compare eating disorders with cuicide. I think there are cases where it's really a disease like cancer or something. Well, I'm not sure of this though, I'm not a prof in this, but I think it's much more complicated than we might sometimes think. But I also hate the media, who make some people sick. That's the reason why I'm here. To support people with such problems and to show I really care about people that might be not that "well shaped" (if you can call it in this way)

2004-11-30 [Jeesum Crowe]: I'm gonna continue this conversation on Anti-Ana because that's what it pertains to and I don't want to waste this page's space. Just go there for my answer.

2005-01-02 [Katie love Casey]: I just made a banner for this wiki, but where on the page should I put it?

2005-01-05 [over stimulated kittie]: I just joined :) Wheeee, a banner! I might make one too.

2005-01-06 [No Regrets - Only Hope]: They look fine to me, kittie.

2005-01-07 [Draco Dralion]: Aww, I would say that it's a bit girly, but then again... it's the "real girls" wiki -_-. Don't you mind if I don't put them on my page :x

2005-01-08 [sizzlin4bakon]: you make a good point jees about not hating them for having the illness (or whatever you prefer to call it) but hating the illness, i lost alot of my friends when they found out i was suicidal..not fair it just made the pain so much harder

2005-01-08 [sizzlin4bakon]: but its still kinda offensive to hate the illness becuz they may take it the wrongway..ust saying

2005-01-08 [over stimulated kittie]: of course not :)

2005-01-08 [Hermes322]: I like them a lot, don't get me wrong but I think we should have a banner that directly expresses what we're against, with a picture of a slogan.

2005-03-21 [Hermes322]: Curves Please check it out

2005-06-10 [VorpalBlade910]: anyone know the Italian mafia's colors?

2005-12-03 [gypsygrl]: I've studied fashion, ettiquette, culture, and lots of other related subjects. I've been through years of trying to be some thing I'm not. I've over come anorexia,something I'm not proud to have had a part in to begin with, and I have actualy survived being a teenager and made it to 20.(whew) I would very much like to be of use to other girls who are going through similar things in thear own lives now. I have opened a wiki called Image Consultant  if any one is interested. It is time girls got together to help one another get through the rough waters and build happier lives.

2005-12-11 [Walk By Faith .. Not By Sight]: This is such a great wiki. Props to whoever started it! I hate that there is a certain image to live up to now... everyone is beautiful in their own way no matter their size.
