Hard to Keep a Low Profile.

I ran into an old professor yesterday at a seminar and he was asking where I'd been because he hadn't seen me around in awhile and then he said,

"It's interesting that I haven't seen you around because it's not exactly easy for you to keep a low profile!"

And then he did a little gesture with his arm indicating how much taller I am than him.

It is definitely very hard to keep a low profile as a tall person. Not only do people recognize me from long distances away, but new people I meet tend to remember me more a lot more often than I remember them. I guess it makes sense-- I generally stand out above everyone else, and it's not every day you meet a 6'4" woman.
