Signs

God I hope this isn't true...and yet, sometimes I wonder. You don't have to pass an IQ test to live somewhere after all. Imagine if you DID! Wait, wasn't there a TV show about people who lived in a town but only if they were like, Mensa smart? Does anyone know what I'm talking about or am I losing my mind?

In other news...I just got back from the gym and I was on the treadmill and the woman on the treadmill beside me was walking really weird, sort of with a limp, but she didn't actually HAVE a limp, she was just walking weird, which would have been fine but it made this really weird thud sound on every second step on the machine because she was all uneven and shit in her stride. I did my very best not to be annoyed by it. I really did. But she was just sort of generally annoying. She smelled horrible and was shaped like an Easter egg. She had a tee-shirt that said "CHILLIN' IN JAMAICA" on the front of it and it was like, seven sizes too big for her and she kept using it as a towel for her forehead, thus exposing her soft white belly when she did. And she kept laughing at what she was watching on TV, which was Restaurant Makeover. Not a particularly funny show. Now, these things individually in a person are easy enough to forgive, but when they are grouped together and when you're already under the strain of being on a treadmill yourself, a person's quirks become super annoying. So there I was, beside this woman flashing me her big white tummy, laughing at times hysterically to a stupid show, walking all wonky like and thump-thump-thumping along and then I remembered the photo (above) that I took in the subway the other day.
