She could have had a freaky foot fetish, but I doubt it
Last week I was standing around Caribou waiting for my coffee and gossiping with Al, the cutest girl on earth™, when a woman approached me.
“Can I ask you a question?” she said.
I started to shake my head yes.
“It’s not how tall you are,” she started. “I have a daughter who is 6′3″.”
“I’m 6′5″,” I said.
“That’s [...]
Answering the Googlers’ Questions IV: There is no talk about penises this time
What is kinoki?
They’re these totally funky pads that you stick to the bottom of your feet to remove all your toxins. They are also a total scam.
How do you know how tall your gonna be
The doctors can measure the spaces between your bones when you’re a kid. I guess that gives them some indication of [...]
A special Thanksgiving episode of Answering the Googlers Questions
On this day of thanks, I want to give back to the community. Here, I have answered some of the Googler’s questions to the best of my ability.
What’s the illusion song from South Park Guitar Hero?
Carry on My Wayward Son by Kansas
Why does a person tell you that they need a break and then later [...]
Answering the Googlers’ Questions II
As a public service, we here at Supergenius Headquarters like to spend some time answering the googlers questions, the very questions that bring them here to iwilldare.com

It probably has something to do with the penis. I am not sure.

You don’t know tall: The perils of being a 6′5″ single woman
So Buzzfeed’s got a piece up on tall women dating short men. I’ve wasted most of the morning reading the posts and accompanying comments. A few of may favorites? Not wanting to date shorter men is sexist, Jezebel comments where all these 5′10″ women are talking about how hard it is to find [...]

Okay, let me get this out of the way first. I am afraid of heights. Go ahead, laugh. Everyone seems to find this eensy bit of irony the utmost in hilarity. Yes, yes the 6′5″ woman is afraid of heights. Hardee-har-har. I’ve been over this before.
The height thing was a topic of conversation at Hell, [...]
Success is Relative, Height isn’t everything
Success Is Relative, and Height Isn’t Everything from the Times. I was rooting for the taller people are way smarter researchers to be right, apparently not so much.
Read moreThe 6′5″ woman and her fear of heights
Whenever I tell anyone about my phobia they laugh uproariously. Because, apparently, it’s really funny to laugh at people with psychological problems. Listen jerks, I know it’s funny. The irony that I’m 6′5″ and afraid of heights is not lost on me.
It’s not your average fear of heights either. I don’t mind flying, or [...]
am i too intimidating to have sex with?
last week i was chatting with the Uncouth Heathen (UH) about who knows what, when he asked me about my superman tattoo (i am sure he can dig up the link to the photo, i can’t remember what it is).
“what on earth made you get a superman tattoo there?” he asked.
“what?” i asked.
“i just imagine [...]
what’s on my mind
my pants are too short today and i don’t know what to have for lunch.
Read morehello pot, this is kettle, you’re black!
one of the things i hate about being freakishly tall is the rude, unabashed staring by those not as gifted as i (for those who are new, i’m 6′5″ and a woman). of course, i talk that talk, but i don’t come even close to walking that walk. whenever i see someone who is a [...]

i’ve decided that i have allergies. that’s the only way to explain these weird two-day bouts of cold-like symptoms. today, my sinuses are doing their best to try and escape my face. it’s weird, because i’ve never had allergies before. but today, today i am convinced that this is something else. something that is not [...]
Read morecrush not my fragile ego
when you burst into tears at work before lunch on a monday, you can pretty much guarantee the week’s not gonna go so swell. add to that the thought that your favorite co-worker will no longer be your co-worker, and, well, you get a small picture of my absolutely shitty week. i thought, however, that [...]

if i were living in the torrential rains of southern california, i’d be set. the jeans i’m wearing are perfect for floods, mudslides, and showing off your nifty socks. i don’t even know what possessed me to put on these damn pants this morning (it might have something to do with a strict corporate policy [...]
Read morethe lunacy of not loving leftovers
the other day i made a big vat of chili, right from scratch. i make a mighty mean and tasty chili. i don’t make it too often because it’s just me and i don’t need that much chili, ever. plus, you can’t really make a smaller portion because i can’t seem to find ground turkey [...]
