Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

A friend of mine once had a several-month relationship with a guy who claimed he was a pro basketball player. Turned out he was lying, though.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

6'6" is too tall for anyone shorter than say 6 feet.

Pshaw. I mean, bit of a crick in the neck, yes, but other than that, pshaw. And I'm with ita. I had a friend who was 6'8" -- definitely in the range of "Wow! Tall!" but not, like, bizarrely so.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I meant I'm the boss of you. And them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think 6'8 is where I top out and start looking at guys funny. A 6'3/4 guy sassed me the other day when I mentioned a groin strain. I reminded him I could still kick him in the face when injured -- I just wouldn't enjoy it as much. The onlooker said I went over his head, but she's really short, so I think it was an angle thing.

Which is why 6'6 isn't gigantic to me -- 6'8 is as far up as I can get my toes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

6'7" is only 127% of my height. That doesn't sound so gigantic.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oooh! I like this definition! If ita can kick you in the face when injured your tallness is in reasonable parameters.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think this is underestimating how much I could slack back when I was working.

What is even happening?

Back when I was working, I had to slack without internet access.
