Amber: Those 3" also mean that clothes designers acknowledge you exist! Trying to find something I don't have to alter, well it happens about as often as Lindsey coming out with a solo album And of couse since I'm not a huge make-up fan, well I must admit on a regular day I do look about 15. I'll love it when I'm 40, until then

Oh and trust me it's not five grade levels difference, in my case it's I'm outta college and they want to know which Jr. High I go to, not even HS,

yep, I guess so...don't even get me started about how I have to wear high shoes, because i don't know how to hem my (otherwise fabulous) pants...soooo irritating! My grandma is 4'10" but she knows how to sew! (as grandmas will) and don't even get me started about how my college volleyball career was cut short!
but i think it's cool that you were mistaken for younger. Awhile ago, tiff thought i was 23, and a girl online tonight thought i was her age, 19, but she's never met me! i told her that i was just immature
I, personally think you're lucky, and probably rather cute... and especially without makeup? you go on, girl!!! Another thing about pants i hate, randomly, is that when the thighs fit, the waist is always too big, and vice versa..ok, anyways.
Amber
oh, ps, if you're a small size, you'd love it in SF - I swear, many of the clothes are made for tiny Asian girls...

[jadegypsy]

Amber: I adore SF, I'm sooo bumed that I had to move further away from it, but there are a few stores (bebe, Nordstorms and others) that are out where i am. I know the asian thing, by best bud is asian and my size so we have a blast shopping. Oh and "cute" yeah that does seem to be the word that I hear most often in my life, that is until I open my mouth and speak Oh and being small does have it's advantages ppl are sooo much nicer, plus on planes I get pillows and cherries in my coke

Oh and the waist thing, totally understand, try GAP (not my fav buisness practices but...) for "ankle" length classic, they actually cut jeans/slacks correctly, guess that means they have a woman designing clothes, what a concept.

Oh as for age I would be guessing you are in your twenties, course since I've never met you it's a rather arbitrairy guess. I wonder if there are other "vertically challenged" ppl on the Ledge.

oh, garsh, I turned 30 on June 30th. And you're extra cherries,(mmmm, marachino cherries...) and you're cuteness, and people being nice to you...well, now i'm just getting jealous! just kidding. People always suddenly tell me, when they happen to stand right next to me "oh, i thought you were taller!" and i've never been able to sneak around, or be cute. I have a wide jaw, though..yeah, i've gotten some nice things from gap. Also, Victoria's secret has petite sizes. though, they're a bit (just a teensy bit, like an inch) short...that's nice that you're short AND small...cause, when i'm at my thinnest, i'm still a size 8 or 6... darn my muscley body (actually, i like it, but...) I'm sure there are other vertically challenged people on the ledge! oh, wait, i forgot the best part... though i'm only 5'3", my shoe size is 8 or 8.5 I guess they have to be this way to hold up all that thigh...
so, i think you're lucky...except if you wanted to play volleyball or basketball...

Amber: don't be too jealous looking 15 is terrible when I want to attract guys, then i have to actually "dress-up." Oh and that "you looked taller from a distance" I got that line at prom from a guy, so I said I could run and get my shoes or I could stand on his shoes as we danced, I stood on his
Wow you have big feet, actually today I was wishing I had bigger feet, mine are a "5" and there were these awsome Steve Madden shoes, but they were a size "6" As for volleyball and basketball, well i could serve a volleyball but my sport is horse-back riding, just love trusting my life to a 1000lb animal that is having a "pissy" day

No way! you're tiny, and so horseback riding is the perfect sport for you! That's awesome! i always wished i knew horses better...You know what i'm stoked about right now? That you're in Cali, and you're awake! You went to Davis? my best friend went there. I played volleyball for Cosumnes River college (jr. college) in Elk Grove. I'm from Placerville.
That sucks when you find the greatest shoes, but you can't find them in your size. Believe me, a lot more people wear an 8, than a 5. They're just usually taller than me You are soooo Stevie right now I can't believe you have to try to get a date... maybe if you were Asian just kidding. But, really, there are a lot of guys 'round here with an Asian fetish and i swear most guys i know would love a small, cute girl...but with my big,(not that big) muscly butt and thighs, I get a whole different demographic hitting on me here in oakland/berkeley! Isn't life intersting?
P.S. i love Steve Madden shoes *giggle*
Amber

[jadegypsy]

Oh my I think we've turned this in to our personal thread Yeah I'm in CA, and yeah I'm an Davis grad Cool that your friend went there. I'm usually awake at this hour, it's the college student in me, rock stars are not the only ones who pull 16hr days I'm not asian so that's why ppl think I'm so young, my friend who is asian has no probs, of course I'm sure her Anne Taylor style helps. Steve Madden does have the best shoes, and i adore his "Stevie's" (kids shoes, sad I know) esp since they fit!
You should totally try horse-back riding, it is an awsome sport, I do english stlye and the jumping etc. But the way your built it would be a great sport for you since muscluar legs are a huge asset, believe me I would sometimes wish I had bigger thighs so I could "kick harder then a fly bites" Oh and don't worry about being "too old to start" or some such nonsense my mom started when she was 45, and is still riding!
As for the guys, well it's more a thing of getting them to hang out after I start talking you know that line "yes I was outspoken" well it's a rather perfect fit for me Oh and hello over in Berk/Oakland I bet it's a diff demographic there, I lived in the Bay Area (North) for 20yrs the eastbay was never at the top of my "safe" list.

I know, I adore his round toes. With my big ass feet, those pointy toes just don't look too good on me...

I'm looking forward to it, don't worry! Just need some more bucks!

Yeah, well, I never feel to unsafe, it's just that every AFA guy that sees me on the street hits on me! very mysterious
did you happen to know where Placerville was?

[jadegypsy]

Yup I know were Placerville is, or at least now I do, love mapquest, now that I look at it I realize I was there last weekend, cute town, it has a Mels dinner right? Oh and I baught RAL record there for $2 made my day! I have a general idea of Ca but i've been to so much of it, sometimes I mispalce cities/towns kinda like getting redding and Chico switched around, and not remembering where hayward and pittsburg are. Oh and as for getting hit on I seem to have wonderful luck with the 35+ crowd, my question is "what is wrong with this picture, hello I don't look LEGAL?!"

GB: probably one of the few songs that makes me really sad...it make me cry in concert, and I never cry!

Can't wait to see Steve Maddens boots for fall this year, I LOVE boots...Actually the toes don't bother me, but I love that his shoes are "slim." Oh you should so look at Nordstroms for shoes they have nice ones with rounded toes. Also ironically I love Payless...

I totally understand the $$ issue with horses, after all it's why I'm not currently riding. But make sure when you start it's on a school horse...and believe me it's an addictive sport

Yep, I have the same problem with CA towns, and i grew up here. though i lived in Chico for 4 years, and Chico is awesome! seriously, i would like to take you there...best college town, evah! and so different from redding, though the freeway signs aren't too far apart, are they? (BTW, my best friend from Chico (and highschool, and 3rd grade, who has the same B-day as Stevie, is coming to visit next weekend, to get away from her kids and husband her name is Rain, are we a Stevie song (amber, rain) or what?). but, yeah, I totally know what you mean. yes, of course i will start out slow on the horse! (my mom worked with horses before i was born, and was all "they're mean! watch out!" and she loves animals) so believe me, i won't mess around with 1000 lbs of horse! (though, I think they're kind of sweet perhaps i'm naive)
I'll try to look at nordstroms, but i've been really poor, and just bought three pairs of new shoes from Ross (name brands, but still). they are very cute, though. Luckily, even though i've always been poor, i've managed to come out of the whole thing with good taste, people often compliment me on my cheap ass sh** It's really all about knowing what looks good on YOU, and what is cute in general, don't you think? I mean, i've seen some ugly a** super expensive designer stuff. And some things Stars wear to events? I'm like "oh, honey, that does not flatter you!"
But, yeah, blab. Placerville, and thereabouts, was the place where gold was discovered in CA. P'ville used to be named "Hangtown" and if you like rivers, and rafting, i swear we're the capitol!
ok.

Oh, I didn't notice his shoes were narrow! I like his boots, too, but i haven't got any. But i have duck feet, really narrow at the heel, and really wide at the toes...

[jadegypsy]

Okay after this I gotta catch some sleep, but...
I LOVE Ross, I even got my prom dress there! And yeah it is totally about knowing what looks good on you, I can make a great outfit with pair of blk pants and a nice top. Ohh and you should look up for a Nordstroms Rack (discount store!!!), but I still usually buy at payless, "if the shoe fits" although this place called famous footwear is awsome all designer stuff all cheap! And yeah whoever dresses the stars, well some should just be fired, don't the stars express any opinions, or are they just blind?
Chico I remeber from looong time ago (10yrs) as a kid. But I'm sure it's a cool town. Have an awsome time hangin w/ your friend. Neat name she's got (if I remember correctly it's also a Beatles song and a Madonna song), I wish my name had a neat song, but no...Oh well...
As for the horses most are pretty nice, try to start on a gelding (castrated stallion) thou, mares can be pissy. And most are nice esp if you feed them carrots Anyway it's cool to know theres another shoe lover, vertically challenged CA nightbird on the ledge

Sweet, I agree with everything you said, and i was making a Tuna sandwich to eat before hitting the sack, too with chips, of course!
So, i'll talk to you soon!

[celestenadia]

I've noticed some have been musing about the age thing. What the heck, time to stroke my
ego!
I'm a teacher. Last week one of my second graders asked me, "How old are you?" I answered,
"I was one year old when the first man landed on the moon".
The next day the little angel came in and said, "You're THIRTY-SIX! I don't believe it, you look
like a TEENAGER!"
THAT is VERY amusing!!!
I'm NOT being humble right now....I DO look very young,not one line on my face.(THANK GOD
for hair dye though...I have MONSTER greys!!!) I'll probably take after my mother, who still
got proofed well into her late thirties...until one day when she was about forty-five and middle
age kicked in OVERNIGHT!!!

[DeadliestPoison]

Uuuh. Well. I'll only drink coke from cans or 20-oz bottles. And in 20-oz bottles I don't drink the last half-inch.

I can only write in mechanical pencil. It's near impossible for me to write in either pen or wooden pencil for whatever reason.

I like to keep my fingernails at a certain length. I hate it when they're hella short, like when people bite their nails and stuff. So yeah.

God I'm boring.
