encountering a huge, freakishly tall WOMAN!

My name is julia and I am a 19 year old freshman at Boston University. When im walking down the streets of Boston or roaming the college campus everyone is staring at me. Do u want to know why? Beacuse im 6' 9"! Im a very tall women. People just stop and stare at me beacuse im the tallest person they have ever seen in there entire life. They say "do u play basketball?" and i always so no beacuse i was never interested in it. They are shocked and just walk away. Other people say "wow that lady is huge!". I think its rude and just ignore it. the most popular question is "how tall are you" and i have to answer it beacuse the reaction on there face is priceless. My boyfriend is a foot shorter than me and it is funny if you see us together beacuse theres a huge size difference. I also tower over my friends who are very short compared to me. My best friend is 4' 11"!
