I've heard every Amazon joke in the book, people.
My flist seems to be obsessing about weight and height these days, which has got me thinking. I'm just shy of 6'0"--in bare feet I think I'm 5'11" and 3/4 or something. My weight goes from 165 to 175, depending on how hard I'm working out. And I'm fine with that. Really. I can wear a size 10 if I really try, and even though I used to work with this drop-dead gorgeous girl who was 6'3" and wore a size 6 (yes, she modeled, too), I try not to obsess about it too much. I'm a tall girl. Yes, this is a fact and you'd be SHOCKED to know how often random strangers will look at me and go, "Gosh, you're tall!!" Wow, ya think? No one looks a short girls and says, "Gosh, you're short! Do you date midgets?" Meanwhile, I get the whole "you play basketball/volleyball, don't you" questions ALL the time. I never played sports in high school, or college, because I'm extremely uncoordinated. And because tall girls can be nerds bookworms, too.
Anywho. Just thought I'd ramble a little. I've been "ogre", "Jolly Green Giant", you name it. But you know, I never have to ask people to get me stuff off the top shelves at Wal-Mart. :D
And GIP OMG. *molests teh Eddie*

Hey! How odd...we have the same stats! And *boy* every bit of what you said is absolutely *true*. I hate sports -being also of the uncoordinated, bookish tall girl tribe- and loathe basketball besides. But, without fail, "You must play basketball...". Since when did tall equal sporty?
Even more entertaining: my best friend all though high school was 4'll and petite. Our parents called us Mutt and Jeff.
The neighborhood kids called me "The Tower of London". This was, however, a compliment for my mad skillz at Capture the Flag.
I rather like the rarified air up here though. Particularly since my spousal unit is six foot, four inches tall. :D

OMG. MY best friend in high school was the same height and her dad called us the EXACT SAME THING.
And my husband is the same height as yours. WTF. We're clones.

That's deeply, deeply strange.
Er...greetings, clone sib?
