their bottoms are made out of springs

sometimes i like to consider groups of people in terms of:

if each individual person is a molecule, what would the substance of the group be? a solid, a liquid, or a gas? a solid being a tight mass of molecules that barely moves except to quickly be put back in place by a neighboring molecule. a liquid being with a little more space where individual molecules bounce off walls and each other and the substance doesn't hold its shape unless in a container. and a gas being very difficult to contain and molecules bounce extremely quickly from great distances at great speed and has a lot of space to itself.

my ideal substance for human molecule behavior oscillates somewhere between a liquid and a gas. going to school during summer term is a gas. going to school during the normal school year is a liquid or solid depending on the time of day. driving in utah is too often a solid. riding my bike is usually a gas. being at the beach is a gas. a great gas. but tonight was definitely a night of solids. solids make me uncomfortable and stuck. but it's ok bc i am a hyperactive molecule and quickly can free myself from those types of situations. but sometimes i think how great it would be to be a part of a solid! nope, wrong. i am just much happier to be bouncing at high energy in large amounts of space. bam
