Cecelia May
Day 38
Hey Cecelia, You know what would be fun? Jumping into a freezing cold shower 27 times in a row.
It had to be cold water because I'm a masochist at heart and also hot water fogs up my lens.
Something has been on my mind recently. When you take shower, or go to the toilet or do any number of other private bathroom related activities, you assume you are doing them the normal way, right? But think about it, how many people have you actually seen wipe their bum? or have a shower with nobody watching*? We just assume that the way we do things is the normal way of doing things. Its called the false consensus effect and it fascinates me. this prompted me to want to share my bathroom habits to see if the way I do things is the way other people do too but I'm pretty sure** that my boyfriend would break up with me if I posted a picture of me wiping butt on the internet, and I don’t want that to happen. So instead I bring you this, a habit of mine which I am already pretty certain is unusual. I use a swimming cap to stop my hair getting wet in the shower. My reasoning is threefold. 1. shower caps are pathetic excuses of an invention that can’t even contain my thick hair adequately, let along afford me the freedom of moving about underneath the water as I please. 2. its convenient as I had a swimming cap lying around my house after I decided to turn my head into a basketball one time. 3. the feeling of getting wet without water weighing down my hair makes me feel like a seal, which is fun because a seal is, for obvious reasons, my spirit animal.
*sexy time showers don’t count because everyone is going to deviate somewhat from the norm when they have to share it.
**like, 110% sure.
