I'm tall too, but not as tall as you are, and close onto Brookes age. I'm what's known as an extroverted, introvert. I do not like the spotlight. Period. My Mom is pretty short, and was built like a brick s***house, when she was younger. She was a cheerleader, too. Me? Bless my momma's heart, she loved shopping, and she'd bring out all of these great, in style, clothes for me to try on, and I'd want to buy the first brown, or black, outfit that I found, and leave (this was well before goth ever came into style). I was perfectly comfortable riding my horses, climbing in the barn, hanging out in the loft taming kittens, or reading. I was asked by a teacher, to be in the school homecoming queen contest. My first thought was Carrie... :laughing: (Mom didn't bother me much about what books I read, or music I listened to, but she, nor Dad, wouldn't buy them for me, I had to use my own money b/c there were questionable words, lyrics, etc...). I didn't tell my mother about them asking me to be in the Homecoming thing, until I was well out of school and she was disappointed. She'd have so enjoyed taking me shopping for the dress and shoes and all, and me despising dresses. I guess I've finally told my gender, for sure, after 18 mos. on here. Most have probably guessed but I've tried not to give it away. Oh well, big brother is watching anyway. Now my girl? She loves shopping. I had to shuck out for three proms. We had a lot of fun though. Made me feel kinda bad for my Momma.
I think that Brooke turned out well. I believe a lot of these kids in music and movies have to grow up so quickly that they do things that are shocking b/c they have lived in the public eye all of their lives and don't understand when people start judging them for erratic behaviour. I gave my parents sheer, undeserved, Hell the year before I skipped out. :facepalm: In a small town, no less.
