to bathe or not to bathe?

Posted by beth on November 9, 2007

That is the question. Yes, I am actually sitting here debating over whether I want to take a shower now or later. Actually, I guess the real debate is over energy output. Do I want to get my butt off the couch or not? Of course, the answer is “not,” but I’m going to have to do it sooner or later, so I may as well just get it over with.

Sigh. My life is so hard. I have to wake up in the mornings and, like, wash and feed myself and stuff. Then I have to decide what clothes to wear (although due to me-n-Brookie’s fashion show the other night, the wardrobe question has already been answered for the next three days), and then, wait…I actually have to PUT THEM ON? No, no, no. That’s just too much. Then I need to do what? What’s that you say? Fix my hair and put my face on? But, doesn’t that require all sorts of creams and gels and equipment? This is becoming a very lengthy process. I think I’m just going to go back to bed for a little while.

you know, you could prolly go several days without developing a discernible smell…10 days w/0 is my record so far. But I reeked. And I was away from reliable sources of water

I’m not sure I’d admit that to the general public, there, Greg. But it’s too late now! Ewwww, 10 days, really?

I decided to go “slouch chic.” You know, where you bathe, but try real hard to look like you’re not trying at all.

And I would never go 10 days. Ever. Unless I were stranded on a deserted island or lost in the woods. And even then, I’d try REAL hard to find a stream or something.

11 days for me.

I stunk and my hair looked like it had professional product in it 24/7, but it didn’t. Plus, on the last day I wore a white shirt. And after taking it off it looked like I had rolled the collar in mud, it was pretty disgusting.

You boys are gross.
Whitney said,

Sick! Boys really ARE gross. I feel icky just reading about 10 or 11 days without a shower. I skip ONE day now & then, and just that makes me feel greasy.

The worst part? They don’t even give explanations for these severe lapses in personal hygiene. It’s not like they were lost in the woods or had made a stupid bet or something. They’re just stating it all matter-of-fact. Sick sick sick.
