rubber duckie, you're the one
So I'm staying at a friend's apartment since the fucking dorms kick you out at noon the Saturday after finals week, because I want to stay in Chicago and work full time for a couple of weeks so I can legitimately afford Christmas, and the presents I've been buying myself to stave off depression. Their apartment is pretty awesome, college-student chic, with all the expected college student amenities, legal and otherwise. It's been really fun, they're all really cool people and Jena cooks for me and this other girl always brings booze and cookies and Sara always asks me if I want hot cocoa. It's so cute, and thankfully it's making work a little more bearable.

One really great thing about this whole thing is their bathroom. This might sound really shallow, but the reason I love their bathroom so much isn't shallow at all. You'll get that in one second.

They have the deepest bathtub I have ever seen.

Finding the perfect bathtub is a lot like finding that one song you don't know the name of. Actually, it's not, because in general, the bigger it is, the better. Deeper, longer, wider, everything is good. That sounded really sexual, sorry. But it's not. For me, right now, baths are entirely unsexual. Yeah, you're naked, I guess, but you're naked when you're born too and there's not much sexual about an infant covered in bits of dead skin, blood, and amniotic fluid.

Anyway, this is the deepest bathtub I have ever been in. I disappeared beneath the rim when I layed down. I could almost stretch all the way out. I could have drowned myself in this thing. I always tell people I love falling asleep in bathtubs and they always say something like "Aren't you worried about drowning?" I always think this is a stupid question because 1) If you start inhaling water, there's a more than likely chance you'll wake up and surface, and 2) THERE IS NO BATHTUB I KNOW OF IN EXISTENCE THAT THIS WOULD BE A PROBLEM.

But now there is. Now there is.

My freshman year I lived in the international dorm, which sounds cool, but in actuality was a hell hole. Anyway, since it was like the second-oldest dorm on campus or something like that, and hadn't been renovated since the 60s, it still had bathtubs. And nobody used them! Everybody felt weird using a bathtub that other people could use - there were maybe 15 girls on our section, two showers, and two tubs. And everybody used the tubs. So I'd go in there some nights, turn off the lights for that part of the bathroom, run some steaming-hot water, and just soak. Ahhh, that was great. Then I moved to a suite for two years where we just had showers :( THEN I lived in an on-campus house and was the only one who used my bathroom, and it had a bathtub :D Life was GRAND then :D

But yeah, finding the perfect bathtub is important. My one at home sucks. And I take naps in the bath all the time, lights out, on my stomach and everything. And people always ask me if I'm worried about drowning also... considering that I have to bend my knees to lay down in it, I don't think it's a problem. And yeah, all that coughing and choking would tend to wake a girl up.

You know what's great is retail therapy at the dollar store. You can buy shit that you don't even need and will never use, but it's okay, because it only cost you $1. When I'm feeling poor and Wal Mart is too expensive for my shopping binges, I go to the dollar store.

I love bathing so much. I had no tubs in my dorms the first two years, and this year my apartment only has a shower. I'm slightly rewarded by the feeling of running around my apartment naked because it is mine alone, but I miss having a tub.

Coming home alwaaays means bath-time. I wish I could experience a tub like that, though.
