"Once I was at Alonso Carnero's side I had forgotten what I wanted to say. All I could come up with was: 'What are you thinking about?' He shrugged and said: 'About the fish in the sea.' And Naturally that made me think of them too, of all those unseen, unresponsive life-forms in the thousands of meters beneath us. I shuddered, and went to my cabin." (p74) The Following Story by Cees Nooteboom

This is why I can never go too far out into the ocean (swimming that is) or into a lake for that matter. Call me a wimp but there is nothing more annoying than enjoying a nice swim and having a wisp of disgusting sea weed come up caught in your toes. Gag!!! This may also have something to do with why I hate eating meat besides fish and haven't done so in four years now. Lets say you sit down to Christmas dinner to have your nice meal of fried chicken and an array of other fried things- if your family is Southern of course- and you take a large, tasty bite of your fried chicken only to find yourself spitting it up into your napkin because- of course- there is ANIMAL FAT in your food!!! I am no Peda extremist, it is just a pet peeve that has driven me to the point of being unhealthy (vegetarian). Another thing that is as upsetting as sea weed getting caught in my toes (the unknown mysteries of the sea that is- it all ties in), and unwanted animal parts in my mouth is when you are pitter pattering along in your comfy socks on a nice wood floor and you suddenly step right in a puddle of water- that my peers, is worse than animal fat, and the scary mysteries of the ocean combined.
