You know, for being such a filthy old city, Philadelphians are the most germaphobic people I've ever met in my life. I'm really tired of being called disgusting. I'm a decently clean human being. I shower, I brush, I wipe my ass, I don't have fleas or scabbies, and I'm not acrid, but it almost caused a fight in class the other day. Let me just say, some people are REALLY lucky I'm patient when I want to be. Now, to get the context of my argument, we were discussing the lack of laundry facilities in Dallas when we're there for two weeks. It's not impossible to do laundry during our tenure there, just extremely unlikely half the time, so I recommended Fabreeze. No, not for underwear, socks, or even pants...but shirts. Also remember, we're SITTING all day in a room thats easily 50 degrees in the summertime. We're not doing anything strenuous or sweat inducing. The tone and sneer alone were enough to tempt me to lunge myself across the table at her uptight little "holier-than-thou" face, but I didn't. I stated my case, and was in turn deemed "non-hygeinic". Princess, I don't know what you imagine you'll be handling out there on the tarmac, but I assure you it won't be Dial soap and Purell. I don't know what her and her neighbour there think happens to your body when you're sitting in a comfortable environment all day not even perspiring, but Christ on a cracker! We're not in Chernobyl! Honestly, has any other West Coast transplant encountered this? Seriously, if you'd lived the way I have at times, you'd understand that laundry everyday is a luxury. I've lived through droughts, energy crisis, $8 loads of laundry, and worse, and so far I haven't been consumed by any flesh-eating bacterias. Whatever, I'm done fighting about it. If you want to call me gross and disgusting, whatever. I'm pretty sure wearing a shirt twice before I wash it isn't going to bring the plague to Dallas, TX.

Anywho, today Chris and I headed out to run some errands. We replaced the frying pan I've had since I lived on Walnut St, and I got a few new nice shirts to wear until I get my uniforms. We also scored Season One of Who's Line is it Anyway, uncensored. Wooo! I love me some improv comedity! Speaking of which, it's back on! I'll be back a bit later!

I find it funny that you mentioned what you do to keep clean. :P As if someone would really ask you what you do after finishing bathroom business.

Um...not the best time to tell you this, but I'm a clean freak. I wash everyhthing89 times before I wear it and even then it has to be handwashed one more time. Plus bleach. Which is why most of my wardrobe is nice, clean, PURE white. ^-^ Isn't that just a most wonderful color?

Is there any type of "special" power during an eclipse of the moon?

Being hygeinic is too much of a hassle sometimes. I sometimes wear the same shirt for 2 to 3 days because sometimes I only wear that shirt for 15-30 minutes and then I'm back into my pjs.. Don't worry about those people, they'll learn..
