So, I'm short. Real short. And this has gotten me lots of nicknames : half pint, little one, shorty ... generally nice stuff.

Starting when I was little, I got called Gelfling because people teased that I looked just like Jen from The Dark Crystal. I loooooved that movie (especially the scary parts), and I could deal with looking like a Gelfling.

But I wanted to be the girl, darn it! And Jen was the boy. They were identical puppets, except the boy had dark hair while she was a blond.

So when I uploaded this picture tonight of me messing around at work for my 365 Project over at Flickr (are you doing this? You totally should be!!) it made me laugh.

Yup. I kind of do.
But I'm okay with that now. Mostly :P
