It depends whether she’s hitting me or not, Jessica.
Silver-y highlights? I like that. When my sister was here, she said to my wife something along the lines of, “jesus, his hair’s white!” which I guess is a little sister’s job.
Joeri: I suppose about 5’7″ or 5’8″…
Brian: not skinny yet. BUT I HAVE LOST 5 KILOGRAMS NOW!!! although I haven’t weighed myself since I ate a whole bag of pistachios last night… See, I’m giving myself a total makeover.

I remember the day I measured myself against that wooden version of the paper thing at a friend’s medical practice and discovered I was 5′ 2 3/4″. Such pride. But every time I go to the doctor’s and they use that Metal Arm Thingie that’s attached to the Scale of Evil it says 5’2″.
Always a fan of contrasts, my bedpost notches refer mostly to men of 6’4″ stature. With big deathrock hair. And nasty drug habits. The 80s was a fun time to be a teenager, I tell you what. Sigh.
Anyway. I always knew you were 6’1″.
And the silver-y highlights in your hair? They add an inch all on their own.

So how tall is La Beta? I’m guessing 5’3″, 5’4″? And rising.

One of the best things about living in Hong Kong was that I was finally tall — I could see over people on elevators and on the train. It was glorious. Then I moved back to the US, and my 5’5″ was distinctly average again. Sigh.

I was talking to a (genuinely tall, maybe 6 foot or more) friend yesterday, and we decided I was spiritually tall. By the puny measuring implements of so-called “science” I’m of average height, but in spirit and attitude, I’m at least 6 feet tall. And I look like Greta garbo (withouthe being dead part)

Oops, time to take my meds…..

I have always had aspirations for tallness. As of yet, however, they remain sadly unfulfilled.

Hmmm…maybe there’s hope for my bathroom scale yet!

Honestly, I always add a half inch to my height whenever asked. I figure if I hold my shoulders up and keep my back straight like my mother tried to teach me to do oh so many years ago, I can stretch into it :)

I’m twenty-two feet tall. But I’m a poplar, so I still feel a bit on the shortish side. And my leaves quiver.

Six feet? How could you knot (poplar spelling variant) know? I forget how tall I am in centimeters, but it’s on a card. Wait…

I’m listed as 170 centimeters, which is, now that I do the conversion, 5’7″. I think I’m nearer 5’8″, which is still not very tall, but I don’t want to round up and lie about it, and I would feel stupid saying “I’m five feet seven and a half inches,” like a kid saying “I’m five years old, going on six.” So I probably told the woman at the passport office 5’7″. But maybe it’s grounds for deportation. They used to calculate our water bill by how many people lived in the apartment. Maybe height also counts? I washed an extra couple of centimeters every day, completely off the books, for years.

Yeah, 6 feet is a sexy height, isn’t it. Although somehow 5’11” sounds taller to me. Or at least, I had myself convinced it did until I grew.
I don’t know, j-a. I guess you’re right, being tall has certain advantages. It never makes any difference for me, though, in how I perceive other people. I’ve always been more interested in aspects of their personalities, such as, you know, Are they intelligent? Do they have a sense of humor? Are they interested in having sex with me? Are they buying me drinks?

i’ve always been considered quite tall given my age, gender and occupation (late 20s, woman, office geek).

being tall is a GOOD THING.

and you are SO much more sexy now.
now that you’re tall.
woohoo!
in my [short] case, i’m afraid that the 4 inches i need, to be my ideal height, will always elude me … [sigh]
