-Danger of falling asleep in the tub and getting out when you are already transparent.
-Danger of hallucinating due to lack of sleep. Hello bubble-fairy.
-Danger of mixing up shampoo and foam bath.
-Danger of plastic ducks drowning, or, have I already mentioned hallucinating?
-Danger of waking up completely when you really wanted to have a soothing bath.
-Danger of running back to your computer and slipping on the way, getting electrocuted and so on so forth.

and here I thought I was the only grown-up sporting rubberducks in the tub. I got mine as a xmas pressie when I was 26…
wheeww! I’m not alone!
hehehe [hug]

I will try to refrain from late night baths, then
Hallucinating due to lack of sleep is easily done even without a bath, though!
Just tick out what’s appropriate from Dave Barry’s parental aptitude test “How much sleep do you need each night?”:
a) none
b) less than one hour
c) sleep makes me very irritable
Somehow, I can’t imagine you being irritable - but I know I am, frequently, so I guess I should lose the last hours of sleep as well, and feel renewed…

I lost count how many times I have washed my hair with conditioner before realizing it was the wrong bottle or lack of lather.
Btw..Don’t take late baths anymore..Just how late was it?

daria

scholiast
i’ll go with c!
heidi
oh yes, that has happened too!
erm…around 3 or 3:30 in the morning

Thank-you for making an insomniac laugh.
The bubble-fairy wasn’t a hallucination… it was a water sprite making sure you didn’t drown.
November 23rd, 2005 at 8:29 am
This is why showers are safer.

have you seen the water sprite too? i wasn’t hallucinating after all. or is this a collective hallucination?
Christopher
showers are a male invention, not to mention a capitalistic one, aiming at the rise of productivity by facilitating blood flow.

Damn capitalists, eh, Chloe?
I am of Irish/Scots descent. Fairies are as much a part of my heritage as the Iliad is yours.
The smartest comment I’ve ever heard regarding what is beyond the veil was by an Irishman. “I don’t believe in Fairies but they’re there.”
As an aside, if you love rain, Vancouver and the West Coast of B.C. is your true home. Five months of non-stop rain! Canada remains Paradise Incarnate!
P.S. I want to visit Greece one day to see the Parthenon, Delphi Oracle and other places I’ve read of in Greek myths. I love all mythology.

i love scottish, irish, german and scandinavian mythology. i have several books with fairy stories and i take photos of fairies all the time (the ones my sister and i collect i mean!).
I agree with that Irishman. I don’t believe in them, but they are definitely there. Santa Claus too.
And don’t get me started on gnomes.
If you ever decide to come to Greece contact me!

I’ve yet to experience a bath!! I think I don’t like being wet because I prefer showers.
November 23rd, 2005 at 10:11 am
The dangers of very very late baths are that they do, in fact, become very very early ones…and I personally hate an early cold bath!
November 23rd, 2005 at 11:14 am
3-3.30! That’s nota late bath, that’s a early bath!
November 23rd, 2005 at 11:15 am
I’m with Christopher on this one.
I hate baths, but my Ma can’t live without them. She uses shampoo as a budget bubble bath all the time, too.
What is it with you females sitting in dirty pools of bubbly water all night?
November 23rd, 2005 at 11:51 am
heidi: Ever washed your hair with toothpaste? That happened to me on a morning after a night before while camping in Koufonissi…
christopher: Ever fallen asleep in the shower? That’s painful! That happened on a night before a morning after @home…
Chloe:
Sorry for not having posted to you for so many days but i m going through awful times at work… I promise i’ll try to be more considerate…
…i wish i had some time for a bubble bath… to remember my student years on the ISLAND (not koufonissi)

angel
don’t showers involve being wet? hmmmm
Fly - Finn
it depends on the time you wake up!
Erikku
“dirty pools of bubble water?” how dirty do you think i am? These are fun baths! you take them when you are already in a reasonable state of cleanliness. MEN!
Harry
toothpaste? is this why you are wearing the beret?
As for not blogging, you are bitterly missed. Maybe you would find some free time if you stopped going out with girls you don’t like in the first place?
November 23rd, 2005 at 12:49 pm
More to back up the reason why I only take showers.
November 23rd, 2005 at 2:39 pm
Then what are you taking a bath for?!?
The purpose of bathing is to clean germs, dirt, and unpleasant things off oneself. WOMEN!
Haha. Just messing with ya.
November 23rd, 2005 at 3:10 pm
maybe it’s just me, but when i think of the words “fun bath” i think of having a bath with someone else….
November 23rd, 2005 at 4:14 pm
not many people are willing to take baths at that hour, so it’s fun but not THAT fun.
November 24th, 2005 at 12:34 am
ah, that’s too bad then. i guess we all need to have a fun bath by ourselves once in awhile
November 24th, 2005 at 6:33 am
Oh, that poor, poor drowned plastic duckie!
I get all teary-eyed just thinking about it. Or maybe I’m just jealous that we only have a shower, and it’s very difficult to imagine falling asleep in the shower!
November 25th, 2005 at 7:23 am
oh never mind the duckie, it has been replaced by my son’s boat.
