This Morning

[shanmonster]

I couldn't hack the ocean today so I shucked my gills and went walkabout on the glorious shores of British Columbia. The surf kicked at me and I kicked right back. My toes wobbled with strawberry jello.

I don't miss my gills. Long hair and gills don't mix, and I always had one hell of a time with it getting sucked into my gills on every intake.

As I walked toward the forest, sand worked its way deep into my feet. I could feel the grit grinding its way up through my vains. It tickled when it reached my thighs, and it slowed down my walking speed. I didn't mind, though. I'd rather be a turtle, anyhow.

Ummm... Gills are usually the OUTPUT vents for the water, taken in through the mouth (of a fish at least). Since you have mouth and nose, you'd probably be inhaling normally, and shunting the deoxygenated water OUT through the gills.

You may inform your dream-anatomy-manager, that it's okay, and the hair no longer interferes with the gills.

Sweet dreams...

This was a dream, right?

Otherwise, I have absolutely no clue what the hell you were just talking about.... heh.

No, it's just Lewis Carrol's birthday, if I recall correctly. ;-)

Ah, now I get it!

I duno, I figure that the hair would just get caught in them and be uncomfortable. It would be like getting hair stuck in your butt or something ;)

Wow. Are you a turtle?

[all together now...]

You're in BC?

Coolness!

I am jealous. ;_;

If only! BC is the best place to live in Canada, from my personal experiences... Then again, that's 20 year old knowledge, so things might have changed a lot. *shrug*
