I'm not skanky! Or stanky, neither. Just because I choose to reject the bizarre modern-US standards of "cleanliness"!
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If I only had a brain...
I just got scolded, quite rightly, for an inadequate status report.
Now I need to write weekly status reports, the real kind that say how much progress I made on each project, with details. The kind that lets people check up on me.
I HATE that.

Well, I'll go 3 days or so between actual shampoos, but I've found a shower the night before only lasts me halfway through the next day even using Ivory Soap. Freezing for a bit would be preferable to that icky grungy feeling.
Right there with you, Betsy. Did I not make it clear to these people that my college-tested method of goofing off and then doing all the work the night before works just fine?

I'm glad that after the first trimester was over, oil production slowed so that I was able to go back to washing my hair every other day, though I'm still having to shower most days instead of every other.
I'd rather shower at night, because then my hair has time to almost dry by morning, but Paul hates damp things in the bed. So I shower in the morning instead.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Welcome to my world! Welcome to my world!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You know what is less fun then it could be? Suddenly realizing at work that what you thought was just a bad headache was building into a migraine and thinking that you have just enough time to get home before it gets bad enough that you aren't safe to drive and you are stuck at work, but miscalculating both how much time you have and the amount of traffic there will be, so that you spend the last 15 minutes of the drive chanting, "I will not throw up in my car. I will not throw up in my car."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
BTW did you get my email?
recent? me go look.
No, that's Jesse. You're the musky Buffista. I'm the OCD-and-bleeding Buffista.
ha! this amuses me.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Did I not make it clear to these people that my college-tested method of goofing off and then doing all the work the night before works just fine?
See, THIS I need on a t-shirt.
All those progress-report-demanding people should back off my Betsy (they should back off ita too, of course, but I trust ita to make her own death threats).
I'm pretty sure that How Often I Wash My Hair qualifies by now for a Buffista conversational topic number. It's right up there with Atkins, just a bit behind Prescriptivism vs. Descriptivism.
