Shower Thoughts: Day 2
Today was the start of a new university term and despite having only about 10 hours of lectures a week I had the misfortune to land one at 9am today. I am not accustomed to early starts. My house isn't even accustomed to early starts; when I got up at 7am the heating wasn't yet on and, as we are all aware, cold is not conducive to thought- hence no discernable shower thoughts. Altogether a bad start. I then proceeded to spend the next five minutes in paralysing fear. So cold was I that once I had braved getting wet, the thought of having any part of me exposed to the cold for more than 1 millisecond resulted in me oscillating between vibrating frantically in an attempt to maintain constant wetness, and standing dead still, tensing everly muscle I could muster at such an early hour and with eyes bulging fixing a stare that could melt steel on the closest object- in this case the soap sitting inncoently on the side. The result thus resembled a rabbit in the headlights effect followed quickly by the same rabbit breaking down in an epileptic fit. I'm just glad there were no witnesses...

oooh, I don't know. I think my sink showeraphobia is even worse than my phoneaphobia. Firstly, I alwsays get the floor wet and (as you rightly say) as socks are of absolute importance in the morning (to the point of considering wearing them in the shower to apease my cold-floor-shockaphobia), I inevitably get them wet. Secondly sink showering (unless I have been grossly misled) involves standing topless in front of a bowl of warm water and attempting to spread it over your top half followed by waiting forever for the sink to then drain so you can fill it with un-soapy water to rinse your by-then-frozen body. To be honest, the thought scares me a bit.
So there you go- two reasons why I can't sink-shower, aside from the fact that I'd have nothing to write in my blog of course. As for socks, you got it bang on; always the first item on... but in my case followed by trousers (or pants if you like...) as I employ the cunning technique of drying my top half by vigorous rubbing thus warming it sufficiently to allow me time to dress.
It's a complex business this showering...
Aaah, I see, thanks. Well, my problem now would be that I have very short hair, hence there is no need to style it or wash it frequently. So i guess, in theory at least, I could go without a shower on cold mornings, however- like the thought of starting the day without a cup of tea (very English I know)- the thought of this makes me feel uneasy. As for showering for showering's sake, in my experience guys just aren't that hygene-concious. Therefore I guess my need to shower must be attributed to nothing more noble than habit... oh well.
