My first "Anything Can Happen Thursday"

This morning I was alerted to the fact that, apparently, owning five toothbrushes that are molding in a sink full of clogged water with a toilet that has leaked what I was told was mud (but believe is fecal matter) all over the floor is not a "hygienic space." I have been told this from several people at whom I have screamed to "NOT GO IN THERE." However, nothing was ever really done about it until today. If you are one of the select few who love me enough to still be my friend after catching a glimpse of my personal filth then this will be shocking for you. If you've ever seen my bedroom or dorm, you can imagine what horrors await in a room whose sole purpose is to excrete bodily substances. My bathroom is now what I consider irrationally and uncomfortably clean. According to my parents it's a little messy.

I realize that by societal standards my bathroom was perhaps a little bit vomit inducing to those who don't understand my logic. But to society I say this: I have not been to a doctor for seven years.

Now why is that relevant? Well, aside from my crippling fear of doctors, I attribute my superb immune system and steely intestinal fortitude to the amount of germs I handle on a day to day basis. I have probably come into contact with more types of mold, mildew, dirt, decomposing insects, and bodily fluids then most bio-hazard crews. AND I never had to wear a suit or breathing mask. That's because it's always been in my nature to be a one-woman disaster. I walk into a room and immediately the damage is irreconcilable. Misguided society tells us that mess is bad. But from my experience, mess has made me a host of parasitic organisms who might otherwise have been homeless. And I think everyone has benefited from that.

Also, I ate almost 2/3 of a loaf of bread today.

  1. I love it! But you forgot to mention that you pee in cups in your bedroom. I feel that's relevant. :)
