(useless) information

A 26yr old female whose brain is powered by caffeine; without its main fuel source it has a working speed slower than that of a slug. That aside, she wishes she could grow a teeny weeny bit (read: a lot) taller and constantly whines about her weight. Enjoys devising novel ways to traumatise people with her bludders. Oh, and she is rather antisocial.

If someone ever asks me what my biggest regret in life is, I'd say it's my height.

I hate being short.

From young, I've constantly been teased for being short. A lot of people with a height of more than 165cm will pretend not to see me when I'm right in front of them, and then say something along the lines of 'oh I'm sorry, but I can't see you because you're sooooo short' and end off with evil laughter. Fine, I can take the teasings, but not when it's done for the 432097th time. I mean, come on, get a life and move on to other less corny jokes lah. Bloody hell.

Some gals would say to me with utmost sincerity that they've always felt damn short until they see me - and then thank me for making them feel taller.

Once, a younger cousin of mine whom I rarely see asked me with glee why I never seemed to grow taller.

Tall guys bend down to talk to me. Always.

Tall gals always comment that it's hard to talk to me because I'm too short.

Some tall gals like to put their arms on my shoulder and say that I've got the perfect height to be their arm support.

My mother keeps telling me that I should try to grow taller. Even though I'm already waaaaaay past my puberty.

I've been asked once if I've ever gone through puberty before.

Looking back, it's nothing short of a miracle that I'm still sane and not suffering from any violent tendencies e.g. tear out the hair of anyone who teases me about my height.

I can't do anything about my height, but I really wish that people would stop teasing me about my height. It does hurt my feelings (though I don't show it...I think). And I have my pride too, you know.

I'm short, but that doesn't mean I'm inferior in any sense, ok?
