Being not quite 5'4" is no picnic either, people. I would kill to be 5'8".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think everyone should just plan to get pants hemmed. Not that I do that, but that's why I only own a few pairs of pants. But you know, they are a given length, and most people's legs will be a different one.
5'4" is the same problem as 5'8", isn't it, just on the other dividing line.

3 more spindles strippered up. This is gonna be a megastripping weekend.
msbelle, glad you have some direction and insights. Gotta be utterly exhausting for you in the near term, but hopefully it will help him develop some effective self-soothing skills.
Many happy birthday wishes, Liese.
I haven't measured my height in ages. I've always said I'm a smidge under 5'6", but I'm almost always wearing heels of some sort, so few people think of me as that (friend once greeted me at the door when I was in flats with "Wait, you're short!" ) If my pant size decreases any further, I'm going to have length issues. It's pretty near to it now, at 6/8 depending on the cut.
ION, a few weeks ago, I got roped into posing next to one of our machines for a big glossy report going to HQ. I figured they'd ultimately decide to use one without me in it. Instead, I get a call from the graphic designer working on it telling me I'm really photogenic. Which....yeah, that's one thing I've NEVER considered myself. I guess it is a good picture? I haven't seen it yet.

Thanks, Jesse. That's what I was thinking, but I don't find myself talking out loud about Twitter very often.

I'm not on the Twitter myself, but that seems like what one would do.

The status is NOT quo.
At just under 5'1", I think I can safely say pants must not fit anyone.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just realized that Google Maps has at least two streets wrong in my neighborhood. Both of them are dead ends that the map shows continuing and intersecting other streets. I remember the GPS getting one of them wrong, too, when it said to keep going on a street that ended. Weird.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jesse, thing is, your confinement thing? Makes me wanna hug you, hard and long. Be warned.
I want to be 5'9. How do we correct upwards?
Ginger--I might actually say "hash-Bookzilla." Just in case. But not "at TheOtherThing." That would be silly.

Nah, because you have too much fabric on one side, which can be hemmed easily, but you can't make fabric out of nothing.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I solved the length problem by buying the "long" jeans and wearing 4" heeled boots. I'm 5'7".
