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*

Fair enough. And I suppose if I could actually sew, I wouldn't find hemming my pants to be quite such a problem.

LOL, I had a roommate who was teeny tiny and when we'd go shopping she could never buy capris because they were basically pants on her. I found that pretty amusing, actually.

I'm the exact same way. That's why I only ever wear jeans. On occasion I can find a skirt, but I have really short legs, so I can only wear certain lengths...and of course they are the ones that I can never find.
