Short People Problems.

Watch guys, I really am going to finally start blogging about visiting this lunatic, last month.  You know in South Carolina.
1.) I have somewhat blogged about it.
2.) Amy already has, and she did such a good job that I thought I could just hang up my hat on this one, but she removed her labels on her blog, and now I can't read about myself as easily, so I decided I better do it.  


One of the first things that comes out of anyone's mouth when they first meet me is, "I didn't know Albino's could dye their hair..." ok that's a lie, they comment on my height of course, because I am in fact quite tall.
I was reminded of this fact when Tennille my Canadian blogger, that's right I just owned her - commented on a photo of Amy and I and said, "you look tall.."  Comment fail, Tennille. (bless your heart)  Anyways, her comment reminded me of my little visit.  I know, what a memory I have. I can recall December. It's a gift.

 When I met Amy's Mother-in-law Kelly (my favorite) and Amy's Sister-In-Law's (my other favorites) they said, "whoa, you're so tall.  Just like Big Bird." Ok, they didn't say the bird part.. my old boss called me that. I couldn't figure out why they were surprised until I realized that when Amy visited me over the summer most of our photos were in fact lies deceiving.  We were head to head in nearly all of them...  We discovered the awkward of our opposite lengths next to one another very early on because we are vain smart, and looked at the photos instantly.  I laughed, and didn't bother explaining.. I'm sure.  It was hard enough explaining to people who didn't know.. how we met.. We told them an online website, where you sign up for a BFF.  She was looking for a Bff who is 5' 10", lives across the country, who will send her random crap every one in a while, and never borrow her jeans.  And in my search I requested a Bff who likes to eat dirt.  My gosh, I have lied a lot on this post.  

Our photo height ratio is the only fake thing you will ever find in our friendship, I've never had a more honest & open friendship..ever.

  So, we took some accurate ones while I was visiting this time around. And upon reviewing them on her camera i decided I hated them, so we re-did them.
I'm all about deceiving the online world, if it makes me appear less Big Bird'ish.
ALL ABOUT IT.
Something about a giant complex, or as Amy so kindly refers to me.. "monster size." fact.


But you can bet your gosh dang life she was thankful for her Monster when she couldn't quite figure out how to get out of the dumpster, normally she has to get out by herself. How hard.  How difficult. How sad.  Short people problems, they're adorable.

And now I've blogged about how important it was that I was in South Carolina.
The Dumpster Hero.



You'll never guess what I did this weekend.
Never.

Hahaha! Oh snap.

BTW I am 5'3". But usually I lie and say I'm 5'5".

Nicola Purkins said...

I am exactly the same height as you!
Now come to London.

Alissa said...

I collect short people.

You, my friend, amaze me. So tall, with such small feet. I will never get over that.

I want to watch that vlog, but I can't until my lunch break.

BYEEEEEEEE!

Your goal is to be nicer this year? Fail. But I'll believe it when I see less hateful comments on my blog.

Yesterday, as I walking down the aisles of Costco (buying my coffee, minding my own business), a lady tugged on my jacket and asked if I could reach something on the top shelf for her because "you're incredibly tall". Made me feel a little like Big Bird myself. (I'm 5'11'')

Also, I just got the same phone about a month ago and I'm still overwhelmed! It is an awfully fancy phone. Good luck! I may have to give Doodle Jump a try!

Whitney Leigh said...

I'm so happy you're tall. Though I have yet to find a blogger taller than me. haha
I can't watch your video until lunch, but I'm excited.
and I love the dumpster photos. reminds me of my dumpster diving days at the Hostess Factory with my BFF. If only I had known I was taking hundreds of boxes of gold.

Sarah said...

Darn it, can't wait this video till I get home. Add me to the short people list, I'm 5'3", and often have trouble getting myself out of dumpsters...okay not really, but when I sit on the couch, my feet don't reach the ground.

Julianne Howes said...

Ha ha ha ha ..... Glad you got a new phone. The Samsung s 3 k m 47..... Or whatever. Bah!

Annabelle said...

I'm a tall girl too. I never wear heels of any sort because I don't like to be. Not that I want to be short but not any taller!

Shannon @ Bungalow960 said...

People always tell me, "woah you're tall" and I'm all "am I really?". Like I didn't already know. I made Andy measure me at Home Depot over the weekend. I am 5.92 feet tall.

Always Maylee said...

Haha, I'm glad you got a new phone.. better for doodle jumping with. By the way, I'm 5'2" and I lie and say I'm 5'2" and a half. I know. I live my life on the edge.

xo, Yi-chia

I am of average height (5'7") and I also have a teeny best friend, barely reaching 5'1". I have the great pleasure of looking like a savage beast next to her in all pictures, so I usually request that she wear a shoe with some kind of heel.

Funny story, my mom is 4'11" and someone once came up to her and told her than since she was over 18and under 5 feet, that she was legally a midget. I laughed. She didn't.

Alissa said...

This vlog was great until you called me out! Listen, I can eat 11k. I just can't be 32k. K?

Alissa said...

Hahahaha my last comment? #touchscreenproblems WELCOME TO MY WORLD!

jes @ twosmuppies said...

Alissa collects short people? This sounds fun.

Also I'll probably go up to your elbows, you big white bird.

Kidding.

Or am I?

SHAYBS. terribly.

Erin said...

Finally a blog. I'd prefer more Thursdays with Andrew.

I've thought about bangs. I really have. Then I thought the same thing you said about being prepared to side sweep them all day. I wasn't. So I have no bangs. Thank you for reassuring me that I made a smart move and you didn't.

twiggy@thedirtlife said...

oh my gosh that vlog was TERRIBLY FUNNY. i loved it so much...hahaha. poor andrew. i love how he played it cool.





short people problems are real.

Michelle said...

I'm 5'8" and I tower over nearly everyone I know. So I'm incredibly happy you're taller than I am.

I watched your vlog and here's what I have to say:

1. I play Doodle Jump occasionally, but it makes me motion sick. What kind of freak show am I?
2. I don't want to commit to bangs, but I have to. My overly large forehead demands it.

Mrs Independent said...

I'm 5'8" and when I lived in NJ everyone thought I was "SO TALL". Here in the PACNW I see women over 6' on the daily. Maybe it's the fresh air?

For some reason in my head you're like 5' 4"...not 5' 10".

jes @ twosmuppies said...

the noise you made at the 32 second mark.

"go away" at the 1:15 mark.

i hear the little rocket at the 2:02 mark.

HAHAHA 2:37

taunting is important at the 2:40 mark.

YOUR TURN, ALISSA.

and you're right i requested it.

and i hope you took care of the beeping.

Tiffany @ Polka Dotted Cats said...

Talls 4 life! (another twitter convo you were not part of omg get twitter immediately)

Tennille said...

Oh hi. Me again.

You have a very impressive bat collection. I would not want to be a robber coming into your house. BUT, in the event that I was... it gives me a little comfort to know that since I am so close to the ground, I could probably duck and roll under something before you could catch me. Aside from that whole "natures speedbump" thing, I think I would be like a squirrel... small and fast.

Kari said...

oh great, now i'm gonna be addicted to this game. thanks shay. thanks.

Jan Cooper said...

If you are going to swear you shouldn't play that game, think about it. I love you more...

RadiantKristen said...

Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies, Shay. I'm only 5'7", but don't worry, I have some really tall high heels, so when we meet, I can actually make myself look taller than you. It is my gift to you.

That vlog is hilarious. And way to be on stepping out of 2003.

Kasey Lynne said...

We can be monster size together.
