Yes, I am that short

Except I don't think he'd be wearing that getup.

And my hair is a million times better than Yeardley Smith's.

Yep. Me too. I overcompensate by wearing really high shoes. Heh.

How short are you? Because frankly, I think a LOT of us would be short compared to Beanpole Steve.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

5'0" exactly. Super short.

[amazonqueenkate.livejournal.com]

Oh. I didn't realize that. I was under the impression you were taller than that. I do not know why.

And hey, my aunt is 4'10" or something like that. So you're not super-DUPER short. ;)

Perhaps because I am loud & annoying and it just makes me seem taller. Or something. I have no idea. It's early. *yawn*

My mom is like three inches shorter than me, so I at least have someone around that I can tower over. ;)

I'm only an inch taller than ya! Hmmm... The decorating thing, the bat thing, the short thing. I'm beginning to think we were separated at birth, Miss Leigh!

Uh, was that from "Herman's Head"?

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Heh. Perhaps.

Nope, it's from Dharma & Greg. But you FUCKING ROCK for remembering Herman's Head!! I loved that show!!

It IS early. I feel like it's 5 a.m. I'm skipping class to (soon) curl up with last night's TV shows and just lounge.

I'm very sad. My brother is finally taller than me. I can no longer call him shrimp and shorty. This disappoints me emmensely.

Doesn't that suck? My younger brother, DJ, is only about 8" taller than me, so it's not so bad. But my youngest brother, Ben, is like 6'2"! There's no way I can beat him up anymore.

I don't know, 8" taller is a lot of tall-ness. (Of course, if my brother was 8" taller than me, he'd end up being 6'4" or 6'5", so ya know.) He's probably only around 5'10" or so right now, so that's not much taller, but he's still going to grow a bit. And he's 16, darnit!

(He used to be a really short kid, so it's such a change.)

When everyone in the world is usually 10-12 inches taller than you, 8 inches ain't so bad.

That is quite a good point, now that I think about it. ^_^;

And on the subject of height, I have noticed that there are three or four of my seventh graders that are taller than me. Given that I am 5'8", this is more than a bit terrifying. They're 12, for goodness' sake!
