Absurdity

I was thinking about it recently, and I realized there are a lot of things people don't do just because it might look or seem silly.
Screw that.
Last Thursday I had movie plans. The night before I'd been out ridiculously late playing soccer and then drinking. Then the next morning I had to go to work even earlier than usual, so I skipped the shower in trade for a fourth hour of sleep. From downtown it would've been two hours out of my way to drive home to my parents house and then take a shower before heading off to Lawrence for my movie, so I decided to just go directly from work. I figured Liz or Cay would answer the phone and let me bum a shower, but they had dropped off the radar (into a nap).
So I realized... I could either be annoyed that no one is answering the phone and feel lame, or I could just figure something out. So I went to CVS and bought shampoo, a razor, and hair gel. I then drove to McCollum, walked into a girls wing, and took a shower. How silly of me.

But here's how I see it:
On the downside, I'd forgotten to buy a towel at CVS so I had to use a sweatshirt as a towel. Also, McCollum is really gross.
On the upside, I found it supremely entertaining, it killed time until Liz and Cay woke up from their accidental nap, I looked semi-cute for the movie, and the Vampire love story movie was wonderful.

Definitely worth it.
