Long walks by the beach. Playing louder than humanly possible (music). New leather trousers. My turnoffs are short walks by the beach, people who think rock music causes cancer and new leather trousers that are a size too small.

5’2" Why do I feel so tiny now?  
Umm as for the rest of it 125 lbs, now I feel fat too _sigh_ You’re doing wonders for my self esteem here.  
Dark brown hair, lighter at the ends goes down to about mid thigh, I’ve been threatened with quite a bit if I cut it.  
Brown eyes, though I’ve been told they can look gold or light green in the right light, though not very often.  
Cancer and yes I do fit the stereotypes.

Me, I’m 5’7, thick blond hair cascading down my back, china blue eyes, weight 115. I’ve got a masters in physics, and I’m working on my PhD in comparative religion. I enjoy whitewater rafting, hiking, Dom Perignon, quiet nights quilting in front of a cozy fire, and Tibetan cooking. Really!  
_NOT!_

I’m 5’1 1/4" (those quarters are important to us vertically challenged people), 5’2" if I blow dry my naturally curly red hair. I graduated from high school. I enjoy crochet, plastic canvas embroidery, beer, classic rock, and someone else’s cooking. I have approximately 157,000 refrigerator magnets holding up approximately 157,000 pictures that my kids have drawn. My house is cluttered, there’s crayon on the walls, the carpet desperately needs a shampoo, and so does my dog.

Oh well. 😃

I stopped measuring after I hit 6’2". I usually say that I am 6’3", but may people say that I am taller than that.
