    I used to think I was 5'11''. Apparently, I'm actually 5' 9-and-a-half inches or something like that. I feel short now, especially since I'm the shortest of all my friends (some of the girls aside).

    I be 5'6.

    However I've never felt short, even when around that guy in the Navy who stood around 6'7.

    The equivalent, I'm guessing, of a men's 15.

    I only find 14s at payless, anything bigger they don't have on the shelf in a normal store. While this doesn't make it 'impossible to find' it's bloody annoying...Also all the best pants/long-sleeved shirts don't come in tall size :@

    down roughly two sizes, not up!

    so roughly my foot is about 9-10 men's.

    I meant the difficulty of finding said size, and the degree to which it is freakish in relation to the footwear of other specimens of the same sex

    (a size 12 in women's is way too big to be reasonable, like a size 16 men's)

    At Nordstrom Rack (where i must go to buy shoes for stupid feet) their wiminz sizes goes up to 14. Which is insane. I see the same shoes every single time I pass that rack...

    My sister, however, is a size 9 & 1/2 but is the same exact height as me. And I get the big feet. ;_;

    My feet are actually somewhat small for someone my height :S But, it IS funny to see my dad more than a couple of inches shorter than I am...he actually IS shrinking...he just turned 50 last year

    They say you're taller when you first wake than when you go to bed at the end of the day, due to walking around, compacting yourself all day, and that people who run marathons are shorter at the end...I don't remember what the measurements are but I'm sure they're not huge.

    It's just because of my disablility. I have Scoliosis so it messes with my height. Luckily its not as debilitating because of all the sport I've done.
