rare as sasquatch

Just came back from the first post-New Year's gym trip: nice way to break up a work day, save a few things:
1. My gym clothes are tight in the wrong ways. This is both a drawback and a reason for going back, I think (hopefully a build up in trips will create some loosening eventually)
2. Gyms are weird there are mirrors all over the place and rows of bikes and other machinery (who wants to look at themselves that much?!? and who wants to sweat in unison with another person, in public like that? Eeeewe.)
3. Gym staff/ rats are even weirder --on the upside, none of the gym staff have even attempted to hit on me (this could be in part because of the unflatteringly clingy clothing, actually that makes a lot of sense, huh?) , on the down side, they're not very friendly (asking for hours for the pool was way too presumptuous of me, obviously)
4. There was a girl puking in the locker room.
Yeah. Its sort of shocking enough that I feel like the whole thing should be in italics. Seriously? This for real happens? As in outside of Lifetime made-for-tv-movies?
I asked if the puker was okay, and she got really, really quiet. So I asked again and she said "yeah. Fine" So I asked if she wanted any help and she just said no. After that there was no more puking, but a lot of toilet flushing, and no one had come out by the time I changed my clothes and left. It was beyond odd.
But any way, I made it once. Managed to open the lock on my locker twice, and I left my sneakers there, so I have to go back tomorrow.
