Thought or Rant of the day!!!

[muidoido]

Yeah it sucks... I have to google it all the time. I can't even imagine how tall or short they are without converting it.

[DylPickle]

It's funny, I've always measured distances in kilometers and meters, but I can only envision heights of people in feet&inches.

[Vega]

But you don't help us giving us the correspondance...

[Pure_Dunga]

183 cm /1.83m is almost exactly 6ft. That's all I can give you, cause that's what I am and it's all I know.

[Piscator]

One inch is 2.54 cm and 12 inch are one foot, which is a little over 30 cm. I'm about 6'4'' by the way.

[Snickie]

I like short people. They make me feel tall.

My height falls around 5'8", or 5.667 feet, or 68 inches, or ~1.72 metres. I'm the tallest girl in two of my classes, the tallest person in the flute section, and the tallest female (besides my mom) in my family.

Also Dyl, I'm the same way.

[Wolfsong]

Some tall people like really short people >.>

My fiance is 6'6".

[Cheshierekat]

I'm 6' even and dislike it most days. My hubby is 5'9". Took a bit getting used to that.

My fiance is 6'6".

Being around anyone 6'2'' and up makes me cringe. I've never felt shorter in my life v.v
I'm average height, about 5'6" so being close to someone that tall makes me a little sad. lol

<rage>
I have a test tomorrow that I really need to study for. My ADD tendencies prevented much studying from happening last night, but, hey, no big deal because I can study tonight, right? WRONG. My cursed RM group never got back to me about a thing that is due tomorrow and then I find out that they have all just ignored my email in a jolly fucking fashion and skipped along pretending that I do not exist. I emailed one of the little bastards to force him to fill me in on what has been going on, so we have been corresponding back and forth all night. This SHOULD be good, because people were told to just decide things without missing group members, but I have come to find that these people don't know what the fuck is going on. Furthermore, the study they've come up with...it just doesn't make sense! It almost makes sense and then BAM! Who wants to be a mail carrier? What?? And WHY are they measuring two DVs? Pick one, gods damn it all! And the best part is that I don't even know who these people are! Somewhere in the back of my mind is the ridiculous knowledge that I have a 12-point buffer for tomorrow's test, so I could, in theory, make a 78 and the leftover points from the first test could bump it up to a 90, but I really don't want that to end up being the case! Damn Freud to hell anyway. I refuse to pull an all-nighter over him! I refuse to pull an all-nighter for any psych class ever because it's psych! With its Africa and its freaking lemons. *grumble*

THIS IS A QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL STUDY! THERE IS NO CORRELATION, THERE IS NO REGRESSION. STOPITSTOPITSTOPIT. There is ONE factor! ONE! No tables for you! You get an ANOVA!

So... I'm around 5'2'' and 5'3''... In this way seems shorter... Well, I like it the same. *Looks up at the other people, waves a hand and smiles*

[phoenixannwn]

Hey, Vega, we're exactly the same height! :]

My ex is 6'3 and I am shorter then you are XD 5'1 3/4 and yeah.. I'm claiming the stupid 3/4 of an inch cause everyone is so much taller then I am!! But guess what.. Great things come in small packages.. And something my mother used to tell me.. *who is shorter then I am* Don't piss me off.. I hit low Course I have never had to follow through with that threat.

My wife is 5' 2" (157 cm) and I'm 5' 10" (177 cm). The height difference never bothered us. She has sometimes been known to stand on a portable step to kiss me without me having to bend over. Recently she been taking to occasionally wearing wedge shoes (she can't wear high heels because of foot problems, but these apparently are comfortable for her).
