 | | If you're subscribed to Renee's journal (not that she ever uses it) you may already know this, but I was away for the weekend, at her Bat Mitzvah. And I also have exams soon, so I'm busy trying to study (I'm trying *really* hard, it's just not happening ). I don't think I'll be posting much in the next week or so then, particularly because I have this weekend to catch up on first, and then upkeep takes a lot around here, but I'll try to come in and read some every day. So post lots of nice stuff for me to read. I'll be reading it, just not posting anything (takes 3 times as long if I do).
In other news, Happy Birthday Renee! (she's finally a teenager-watch out! those horomones will start kicking in soon )  all around. Anyone need a  ? They're freshly polished.
And more news-I'm writing a speech for English highlighting the positive aspects of a herd mentality. Maybe I'll post it here when I'm done.
Have a nice week.
Jen

 | | 8 is a *small* over there?  i wear size 8 as well (well, depending on where it's from. the problem is that a third of our stuff is from the uk, a third from the us, and a third from other places with no standardised sizing), and it's generally *hell* to get stuff this size over here for the same reason that jen finds it hard to get stuff that size...  too many bloody people wearing size 8.

| | yep, 8 is smaill here too. it goes 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 etc. 16 and above are considered to be "plus sizes"
i find it hard to get trousers coz the current fashion in that they drag along the floor, and although i am a size 8, i'm 5'10", and trousers are never long enough

| | Well, could you just wear shorts and skirts and stuff that's not pants? That might work.
I'm not quite 5'5", but to Renee (shrimp! although she's still got a few years left to grow) that's tall. I would just like to point out to her that next to James, I look shrimpy. (our cousin, who's almost 5'10". And almost the tallest one (one uncle taller but not by much) in the family. No one else is over 5'8".)
Some companies say 6-8 is small, some say 8-10 is medium, 10-12 is generally large. But all I know is that wherever I buy clothes from, the only difference between med and large is in the shoulder width. And my mom always tries to buy me large shirts, which just look stupid and too big. (kinda like my clothes on Renee )

| | i would have to point out that in the unlikely event that we should ever *meet* in real-life, hannah would tower over the both of us . (like you, i'm 5'5" - of course, this means that i'm taller than most of my female friends, and about as tall as a number of my male friends, so i'm not *too* unhappy my evil twin brother's my height)
