The things people say

"You're really good at saying random things"
umm...I don't even know what that means, but thanks?

"At first I just saw you walk in I was all 'Woah, who's ass is THAT?!' but then I realized it was just you."
Guess the weight room is starving for a 'change of scenery' or something, since several guys have said this to me. Such charmers.

The last installment of The Things (stupid) People Say is basically #3 on this post. Again. Every day. EVERY. DAY.

Another good one that I get ALL THE TIME from another person: "ummm.....Summer? Yeah, I just wanted to update you on this one issue (even though I'm coming by for updates in 15 mins and totally don't care until then)? Wellll....I've asked the supplier for an update". Me: "Did you get one?". DB: "No not yet". Me: "....thanks for the info"




In an attempt to write a post that is longer than 3 sentences, I'll tell the following terrifying story. I got home last night from lifting/yoga/dinner with Fargo and flipped on my TV. I can do that now, you know. Planet Earth was on Discovery. Sweeeet. And it was on ocean-y stuff! My favorite. I thought...

So they were doing a segment on what I assume was Monterey, since I think it's the only place with giant kelp. I wasn't really listening. But they show the sea floor in fast forward, so starfish and sea urchins are cruising all over the place, which already kinda freaks me out. THEN they show that sea urchins have freaking TEETH. Teeth, people. What the eff. So they show the asshole sea urchins totally eating the base of the giant kelp. They show a close up of it. Teeth. And a mouth. And holy balls I knew that sea urchins were living animal thingies but SICK.



So then they show a sunflower starfish, and my initial reaction was 'oh cool! I totally just saw one of those at the aquarium and it was giant and pretty and rad looking!'. But then it spidermanned on top of this whole cluster of baby starfish, ejected it's stomach out of it's body, LIQUEFIED THEM and slurped up the goo, leaving their little skeletons behind. Are you shitting me?!?!

Then they started showing sharks eating seals AND SEALS EATING PENGUINS and I turned that shit off. Did you know seals eat pengiuns?! I mean, wtf.

So I flipped the channel and wasn't really paying close attention. CSI Miami was on (I hate that show) and the first scene? Some guy getting killed by jellyfish. The universe is totally punking me with all this crap RIGHT after I have the freaking time of my life at the aquarium. Cruel world.
