Writer's Block: Divided Self

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I'm much goofier in person, although when I am severe, I'm sort of even more so than I am here. The big convoluted sentences though? Just that in RL. I really do function in paragraphs.

Also, apparently I'm taller on the Internet.

Also, apparently I'm taller on the Internet.

It's funny that you say that, because my mental image suggests that you're 5'9"-5'10".

[rm.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm 5'6" if you squint. Good posture and clever shoes and I can fake 5'7", but no. Patty's an inch taller than me.

It's the suspenders...

Also, posing with short people!

"I keep several around just for that purpose," she told reporters...

[graene.livejournal.com]

No, it's the personality. I stand next to her and feel she's about 4 inches taller, even though the numbers say we're the same.

My navy friend said learning to stand at attention added an inch to her height.

[smirnoffmule.livejournal.com]

You're my height! I totally pictured you taller. You write taller.

[magicwoman.livejournal.com]

My impression is that you're petite.

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought at first, because she complained of being short. But she meant actor/model/dancer short!

But she writes as a much taller person.

You and me both. ;)

eeeheeheehee

It's true! You are at least 5' 10'' in Internet measure.

[ophymirage.livejournal.com]

I definitely think of you as much taller. But I think it's because the only images of you I've seen are in The Coat, so you = elided with JB = about 5'10" or so...

OH, and you were about the same height (if not breadth) as Gareth and Kai in your pic with them, so you must be as tall...

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

I would have guessed 5'8", having seen the coat pics. The coat adds height! :)

Me: 5'10" and I like wearing heels. I always assume I'm going to be the token giantess in any given gathering.

You're much taller on the internet. That's why I wasn't sure if it was you at DragonCon. I was expecting 5'8" or so. :-)

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

I expected you to be at least 5'10" the first time I came to NYC. Even now, in my head, I think of you as tall. Weird.

I had a bizarre dream we met up at a con happening in an apocalyptic city with burnt orange skies.

"Also, apparently I'm taller on the Internet."

Isn't it funny when others assume you're somehow bigger than you are? People are always surprised to find I'm a tiny pipsqueak in reality. I guess I stand on my stacks of words on teh internets like a stepstool and it creates the illusion of height? I don't know. Odd how manner of writing correlates to a person's mental image of you.

Also, in regard to the big, convoluted sentences, I am ever so much more eloquent in writing than I am in speech. The words and ideas just get all bottlenecked in my head when I try to think on my feet. I need to slow down and untangle them before I can articulate them with any sort of eloquence. Or, you know, coherence. I also speak very very quickly and often trip over my words, so I have to slow down because I get physically tangled up, too. :P
