    whats the longest you went without a shower

    for me i made it past 2 weeks but only twice and past 1 week too many times to count. if i lived on my own i could probably stretch it to a month but my mom says twice a week no arguments and pays attention to my hygienic status. thus the upper limit is around two weeks. i can pretend to have showered but only so many times before it becomes suspicious and then i have to take one.

    maybe if we showered more more people would come to the forum?

    If I lived on my own and I didn't have to go anywhere, I would never shower - last week, I made it 4 days as I was stuck inside studying and didn't even get dressed in that time period. Plus I need to wash my hair ever second day or my god I would scare you!

    I can't even go a day without showering. Now hair washing.........I can get away with going 4 or more days depending on if I actually plan on seeing people or not. My hair is too fine to wash everyday. It would frizz to a fluff ball and then fall out.

    Probably would be the summer I got sucked into 4chan (Yes...it was /b...I regret it) and lost all sense of self care. Must have been a week, give or take a day.

    A week. Only did that once, I can't stand not taking a shower.

    Your girlfriend's silence might be her loudest scream.

    If you still have more dreams than regrets, congratulations. You haven't gotten old yet.

    Spend every moment like it's your last. Hug her, kiss her, hold her, like it's the last time that you ever will. Because it might be.

    whoa how do you get sucked into 4chan. i got sucked into blogs before but never a message board. with message boards you go from reading one thing to the next without really knowing what that's going to be but you could never read everything and eventually you'll think this is enough. but with a blog you might be on a mission to read the whole thing and if you are you'll know where you're going next, either to the previous entry or the one following it depending which order you're reading it in. but you got sucked into 4chan for a whole week? that's a long time.

    I am presently at three days :rofl, I think.

    I worked from home on Friday so I did not take one. It may have been before I went to bed early Thursday morning.

    I need to get a run in tonight, and THEN I will take one. I hope I have enough soap!

    I don't know if I'd calling it "winning" per say

    As for your question about /b/...it happened. I can't really explain it. Lots of teenage hormones looking for naked things and a curiosity for some messed up things. That's about it.

    so it was one of those showers where you cleansed your body and your mind? those would take twice the time i think so it would be a longer one but im not sure on that. i never had one because i can't relax in the shower. when i close my eyes i think something is going to attack me. i think maybe its because you lose your senses like being able to hear well when the water is splashing around you. plus its slippery and the torrent of water can be disorienting to be under. when you close your eyes the instinct kicks in to get yourself out of the vulnerable situation and you imagine a predator. its not really a vulnerable situation though you're perfectly safe you're mind just freaks out on you like when it decides you could use some anxiety which is always way too often. when i close my eyes to sleep or just for the heck of it that doesn't happen. i could have written this post with my eye closed you never know and not once would i have got panicked and thought i was being sneaked up on.

    p.s. im still winning with two weeks

    Pardon my ignorance but what does /b/ mean? Forum code for something?


    Edit: Never mind I looked it up... Sorry.
