yeah people tell me that i am not done growing. although i am skinny, i'd say im pretty strong for my size. i am a swimmer, and you have to be in good shape to be decent at it. my friends are always "picking" on me because i have such long arms and because i'm skinny, but i know they're really just complimenting me because they all know that i could kick their tails at swimming. last year, as a sophomore, i got the school record for the 200 IM, and our school has been around for over 40 years. this year i'll most likely get the 100 backstroke record, i was less than a second off it at the end of the season last year. were any of you fellow rockhounds into sports at all?

Hey JK...yep...I used to run cross country and played volleyball into college until the day I went down for a bump (minds OUT of the gutter please ) and drove a piece of glass into my knee. This fall I took up belly dancing (what the hey...I have the belly, I might as well use it right?). It's so much fun that now I'm never doing another thing that doesn't involve a veil...and yes...that includes sawing rocks. The veil keeps the splatters at bay.

I have to say...this is the FUNNIEST thread I've read so far! It's 9am and my face hurts from laughing.
I kind of had the best of both worlds (skinny/fat) I was 5'4" 115 lbs for most of my life...then my thyroid went haywire about 5 years ago and I'm now 5' 3 1/2" (I shrank) and I'm hovering at around 155 lbs. Though my weight is pretty steady now, it does bother me that I can't wear the sexy dresses anymore. (or shouldn't wear... :-) )
Do blonde jokes, fat jokes, skinny jokes, polish jokes, italian jokes bother me? Nah.... The only time they bother me is when they're directed at an individual to insult them.
My Czechlosovakian ancestory blessed me with a large nose. To me, the older I get, the larger it gets...too bad noses don't shrink in proportion to ones height. Alas, I've never considered getting it "fixed". The men that have been in my life often said that I was beautiful and have "classic" features. I don't see it...but evidently they do...or I still wouldn't get passes made at me. (Though, not as often as I used to I might add! *chuckles* )
I figure with everything going on in the world, short, skinny, tall, fat, big nose, eyes too close, eyes to far apart, yada, yada, yada don't add up to a hill of beans. It's what's in the heart that counts.
I find this forum to have some great folks who are special in all the ways that are important. Thanks for making me smile so early in the morning...you guys really are terrific!

whenever you guys keep mentioning polish, or Polish, as in people from Poland, i keep reading as polish like cerium oxide polish or something for rocks. by the way, i'm part Polish, part Czech, and maybe others, but it don't know
