Guess What: I'm Taller Than You

You guys have probably all heard me say that at least once, it might not have been directed at you (in fact chances are it was probably aimed at Erin) and as random/dumb that, that fact may be I constantly repeat it over and over and over again. Similarly, if you're taller than me it's not uncommon for me to stand on random things in order to make me taller than you. Most of you may write it off as just an odd part of my personality. *coughallpartsofmypersonalityareoddcough* But this actually has some reasoning behind it. See I didn't always care whether or not I was taller than people, in fact if you look back at me in elementary school and middle school almost everyone was taller than me, and you know what? Not one fuck was given about that fact. That is until my friend Mike and I started talking again. (so yes if my "I'm taller than you" fun fact gets annoying you can go blame him)

Who is Mike you may ask? No one special really, he and his siblings went to the same elementary school as me and Mary Kate, and when Mary Kate transferred out so did Mike's family. Mike had always been taller than me in elementary school (then again who wasn't? *coughpatrickcough*)

When Mike transferred I didn't really talk to him anymore because, unlike with Mary Kate, he wasn't the one person I spent every single weekend with, so I didn't see him again until middle school after I transferred into a public school towards the end of 6th grade. By this point we'd both grown a lot since the last time we saw each other, but one thing stood out, I was now taller than him.

Mike proceeded to spend the next 6 years (the remaining 2 years of middle school and all 4 years of high school) playing a seemingly never ending game of "Kim am I taller than you yet?" with me.

Fun fact: that last picture is from the same day our friend Chris set his pants on fire in class...

Anyways, after a while I started to get this silly idea in my head that I was really tall and I'd probably never meet anyone taller than me...ever...

And then high school hit >.>

Of course freshman year it didn't matter, I actually attempted to fit in at my own high school that year and I was taller than most of the people I hung out with, Mike also continued to play the "am I taller than you?" game.

And Sophomore year was relatively the same...until one Tuesday late in the second semester in which this happened:

You guys remember that right? (3rd story lol, really old picture) Well anyways, after that day I started to notice something...something along the lines of...

And of course that lead me down the dangerous and annoying path of "am I taller than you yet?" Except me being me...I'm a little more aggressive about it. >.>

You get the point XD

Anyways as time went by Mike came around to play the "am I taller than you?" game less and less, and I started to play it more with my taller friends feeling content and safe due to the fact that I was sure Mike would always be shorter than me. Then graduation day came, and Mike wanted to play the game one last time. Can you guess who won?

If you guessed me, you were wrong. However if you guessed Mike fuck you for having no faith in my height abilities congrats you win!

And yeah, so ever since then I've been taking my victories as they come, small as they may be, and I still attempt to be taller than those that I know I will never be taller than. Have a nice day. :3
