abrupt transition

leapin’ lizards! today is gonna be insane, i can already tell. it’s only 10:15 and i’ve already worked my ass off. sheesh.
also, it looks as though i have pissed someone off with something i wrote about being objectified because i’m so tall. hrmph!

since i have giant feet (size 11.5 mens) i can’t indulge in the usual girlie shoe fetish. i would love to, but well, they just don’t make cute girlie shoes in big feet sizes. sure, i could get a pair of 6 inch lucite sparkly heels– because all hooker shoes come in the big feet [...]

the rack

surprising to some or perhaps nobody at all, i’ve joined hoopty’s rack browser. i sent in my picture late last week then pondered why i did it and what i would say about it.
i’ve spent a lot of my life not feeling too comfortable in my own skin. i’ve always felt too fat or too [...]

stop the flow

on thursday i went to byerlys (a swanky grocery store in chanhassen) with bestfriend kari. she had to order a cake for jakey’s other birthday party.
whilst at byerlys we ran into our co-worker sandy. sandy and i chatted and lurked about all the lovely flowers at byerlys while kari went to the bakery to [...]

the mirrored room

i’m currently in love with Look at Me by Jennifer Egan. It’s this wonderful, beautiful, imperfect book that i can’t seem to put down. i’m giving up sleep to read just a few more pages.
today, at work, ella asked me what the book was about.
i hate that question. what’s it about? it’s so hard [...]

how rude~

i was rude to the cashier at the grocery store and now i feel bad. i didn’t intend to be rude, it just came out much ruder than i had anticipated.
her: my god, do you know that you are really tall?
me: yes, i am acutely aware of it.
then she just gave me this hurt look [...]

Criminys, I am having a hard time sitting still today. Maybe it’s because my swanky new shoes are kinda making my footers hurt. They are really cute shoes though and I know it’s just a matter of breaking them in.
With these new shoes I am most enamoured with my feet. These glorious, chunky pieces of [...]

i don’t get it

why do people find it so surprising that i didn’t have one, single, solitary date in all of high school?
sheesh, like boys were begging to go out with the tallfreakgirl.

*sigh*
so i got my techdoof fix today. i haven’t gotten it in awhile. works been this crazy hurricane of insanity, so it’s hard to sneak off and pick on them. it seems they appreciate me much more when i don’t bug them constantly. or their appreciation might have stemmed from the 8 slices of pizza [...]

jena got new shoes

i am most envious of jena’s new shoes. i always wanted cute girl feet. my dream is to blow into target and see some cute little black chunky things for $9.32 and buy them.
but noooo, i am cursed with gigantic, wide, not-cute, girl feet. i wear a size 12 in mens. they don’t make [...]

i took a nap tonight. i hate when i do that. it wasn’t my intention, i was laying around reading a magazine and the next thing i know it’s 8:30. it wasn’t a long nap, an hour and a half– but i am sure i’ll be up most of the night because of it. lucky [...]

i had to go to target this afternoon to get my dad’s father’s day gift. yes, no time like the present i always say. so i peeled into target at 1:00, a mere hour before i had to be at sister #2’s house (a mere 45 mintues away). since i am at target and don’t [...]

there is always one

blargh. you know, i don’t get gobs and gobs of fan mail. i get enough to make my ego roughly the size of montana. so anyway, i get a enough positive reinforcement that one e-mail, from one stinky jerk shouldn’t get me down, right?
wrong!
back in march (which is eons ago in internet time) i [...]

josh sent me this tallest known living women list. i am not on the list. i was asked to add my information to this list. but it is just too oogy for words. this joerg fellow who runs this site creeps me out. let’s set aside the distatefulness of cataloging women (or anyone for that [...]

Yeah, so I got an

Yeah, so I got an e-mail from this guy a few weeks ago. Nothing major really. He was just telling me how he had visited the site and liked it. How he was thinking of using the same hosting company I use for iwilldare.com and was wondering if I wouldn’t mind if he put me [...]
