Tell me all about it, dear...

I can't imagine what it must be like to be head and shoulders above everyone else. When I started school this year I felt like I was towering over all the other girls in my class. There are maybe 3 girls in my class that are around the same height as myself but for the most part I have a good three inches on them. And I'm not tall! - I'm 5'6 - and I am always in flats. It was a very weird experience for me so I imagine that if it were you in my class you would feel like Gulliver.

Too bad you can't siphon off half of your consciousness of your size and give it to other large people. That would be the male ones. Too bad that a woman who is tall can't forget it for a second, yet big men seem to have *no idea* of how much space they take up. I've spent too many years being hyperalert when going upstair behind one in a crowd for fear of a stray elbow to the chin, being unable to reach things on high shelves because why would they worry if others could reach things, being squashed in airplane seats by some yahoo sitting with his legs sprawled way apart and his elbow over the arm rest into my seat. (There are people who have trouble fitting into airplane seats, but the annoying ones are those who take up twice as much room as they need to.) Funny, I've never really had problems with tall or broad women on any of those scores.
