flaw number two
by john ryan gallagher

i sit while i’m in the shower. if i’m away from home and using someone else’s dirty, crusty shower, i’ll still sit, but i’ll sit on my foot to avoid direct ass-to-floor contact. sometimes i take multiple thirty-five minute showers a day, just to enjoy the feeling of lounging on the floor and having warm water run over my stupid body. i swear i get my best thinking done there.

this is a habit that’s been with me for ages. while it’s a relatively harmless one, it does mean that i spend a lot more time in the shower, wasting water, and avoiding life’s responsibilities. i also can’t help but think that it’s somewhat immature of me to still do this. it’s one of those things i should have grown out of, like sucking my thumb (thank god i don’t do that anymore), or picking my nose in public (no comment). 

while it’s not on the list of things about myself that need immediate change, i should do my best to somehow curb this extravagance. i should take shorter showers, save water, and tackle the things in my life that need to be addressed, rather than avoiding them. i bet if i took shorter showers i’d be on time to more of the shit i need to get to. the water bill would also be cheaper, and the paint wouldn’t be peeling off the walls. 

finally, i’ve been confronted a few times about the length of time i spend in the shower and the answer is no, i’m not whacking off in there.
