I don't know how many times I've read that exchange, and it's never not completely satisfying. That's an oh, snap! that will surely ring its sneering way down unto the ages of ages.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Thrive to spite them
B.org ate my post!
I was saying that I'm late to the height thing but I'm 5'8" (ish) and SLNRLBF is 5'5".
It's cold today here, but should warm up to 77 for Christmas day.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
5'8. And a short one at that. Hec might be the only person ever to estimate me taller than fact. Short for a tall person, I am. The guys I've been with vary from my height to 6'6. Really tall makes me drool by reflex, but in reality I've never chosen a tall guy over (ahem) a shorter one.
I noticed at a recent party one guy brought a woman that really looked like his ex wife. I can't help it--that stuff creeps me out. The guys I've been with look so different it's laughable. God bless Benetton. One guy I know was so hung up on one of his exes he only went for women that looked like her or were related to her (he found ringers that looked more like her than anyone in her family did). MOVE ON.
I guess people have their types (I don't, in the end), but there are types and then there are dopplegangers.
Oh! Perkins! Got pies! Now that I've opened the first box I need to finish it before I leave early Wednesday.
I'm going off the meds that made me gain weight, but that mightn't make a difference if people are this nice to me.

YAY! Were they wrapped in paper (first try) or a box (second try)?

Second try, Perkins. I'm pissed that one attempt disappeared.

Me too. Maybe you'll have them when you get back though.

I'm a tall 6' 2", and I frequently forget that I am taller than ND. Four inches taller, even. Though in my defense, I tend to slouch, and ND's hair gives him a couple of inches of illusionary height.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm 4'10". Though at the doctor today, they said 4'11". Several people who are around 5'1" or so have said that they thought I was about their height, and didn't believe I was actually shorter until we stood up and they actually looked to see. So I seem taller? I'm not sure.
I just finished reading The Tales of Beedle the Bard. That was fun.
