a shorter Higher Point of View

I shrank my video to fit in one part- It's the same masterpiece (HAH!) with a little less academic jargon.

Doctor's Office

Today, at the doctor's office, the nurse just announced to the entire office that I was the tallest patient she had ever measured. She then proceeded to ask me about my basketball career.

[side note: i was dressed cute. so much for my hypothesis.]

Yesterday, an old couple on a bench watched me walk by. I heard:

"My, oh my, that was the tallest girl I've ever seen in my life..."

I'm happy to entertain, people.

Next week, maybe i'll juggle as I walk or balance a beach ball on my nose. Now THAT would be interesting.

A Higher Point of View: The Secret Diary of a Tall Girl

Here it is, folks. The moment you've been waiting for.

This is my final video project about the life and times of a tall girl, and what we face every day. Unfortunately, it's widescreen although it's not meant to be. So, I look a little... wide. But you get the idea.

Enjoy!

Today, a child looked up at me from her grandmas arms and yelled "TALL!" in the middle of Loft today.

This is not the first time this has happened to me.

Big Steps Shoes

If you have big feet, male or female, stop by Kalamazoo Michigan's "Big Steps Shoes" to have all your dreams come true. I got a pair of Steve Madden leather boots, rain boots, and adorable pink flats. Here, you can see how overjoyed I am:

They even have one of Shaq's shoes at the store. They start at size 10 for women and size 11 for men! (I'm a 12, and the store owner laughed and said that I have "small" feet. I wanted to slip him a twenty for that comment, but I refrained.)

go there! it will change your life. or at least make you feel normal.

A Trick.

Alright, as some of you know, I've recently changed my wardrobe from "t'shirt chic," to what some might call "women's clothes." I had to quit dressing like a middle schooler, and start dressing, well, nice.

But with this change, I have discovered something quite noteworthy: If you are a tall girl, and you hate being asked if you play basketball, QUIT DRESSING LIKE A BASKETBALL PLAYER. Who'd have thought.

This summer, I never wore a t'shirt and gym shorts out of the house. But no one asked me if I played basketball. NONE. It was an all-out miracle.

But last week, on the way home, I wore a t'shirt that said TCU (Texas Christian University, My sister's school) in the car. (An unfortunate side note is that dad came down to breakfast late, wearing the exact same shirt as me. Neither of us had time to change.)

And of course, the ONE TIME i wear a t'shirt, an old man asked me if I played basketball. Dang.

But, I learned my lesson: Dress up, and people will think you're a model. Dress like you're a basketball player, and guess what. People will think you're a basketball player.
