Jennifer did it and Eric did it and Jim did it and Gwynne did it. Oh, wait. No she didn’t.
I AM too tall to fit in many cars.
I WANT to be more organized.
I WISH I could find a good watercolor class.
I HATE standing close to other tall people. I don’t know how normal-sized people tolerate not being able to see over the crowd.
I MISSpell when I type because my fingers have minds of their own.
I HEAR the new iBooks are out, with Intel processors…
I WONDER how much more we don’t know, and how much of what we do know is wrong.
I REGRET very little, now that you mention it.
I AM NOT a sports fan, try though I may.
I DANCE not.
I CRY when necessary.
I AM NOT ALWAYS as disciplined as I want to be.
I MAKE WITH MY HANDS sketches and drawings and decks and playsets and bicycles and toys and whatever else I can possibly build.
I WRITE with many words where perhaps few would suffice.
I CONFUSE “tolerating” and “condoning”
I NEED focus.
I SHOULD draw more.
I START too many things.
I FINISH what needs to be finished.
I TAG my stuff with keywords so I can find it all…
Okay, Okay, I’ll give it a shot. ;-)

So, when was the last time you stood with people taller than you? At a Cavs game? ;-)

It’s happened twice that I remember clearly.
The last time was last Saturday, at the soccer game. The other coach may have been an inch taller than I am. It was OK, because he was only one guy, but I certainly noticed it when we stood close enough to speak to each other.
The time before that was in college – 1994, probably. I was walking between classes outside and found myself behind a group of four or five guys whose heads I could not see over. I had to stop for a second and let them get ahead.
Before that, I probably hadn’t gotten used to being tall yet. So yet, it’s rare, which surely adds to the wierd factor when it happens.
I think it’s a version of claustrophobia. I don’t mind being in small spaces, but it bothers me to be in a large space and not be able to see around it.

Wow, how tall are you? I’m tall for a woman (5′9″) but not compared to most men, so I don’t have the claustrophobic tendancies, but I do understand that strange feeling of talking to women who are taller than me when I’m so used to being the tallest. And even I struggle with head room in some cars, so I can imagine it’s almost impossible for you. When my husband and I visit Chinatown, in San Francisco, we can spot each other blocks away even when the streets are crowded with Chinese people. ;-)

I’m 6′6″ – Michael Jordan height. My problem is that it’s all in my spine – I wear normal size pants, but have a really hard time finding shirts that (a) stay tucked in and (b) reach to my wrists.

That is tall! But you don’t play basketball, do you? Me neither.
