I've been trying to steer clear of online time-wasting (such an easy addiction to partake in =-p) lately because.....Hello! I need to find a job!! So, in the interest of not wasting too much time, and still providing my reading audience with something to view, I am inserting my previously written dissertation on showering at my new home. Here it goes...

And now about the shower. Showers are my guilty pleasure. Ridiculously long showers. Love them! And since I am a night showerer, I can just enjoy the heated water for minutes on end. In my new residence I am now in a new showering environment. She has a removable shower head, which I've always found quite handy. You can rinse off your toes with just as much focus as your hair when you have such a shower head. But I don't like hers. It doesn't suck, but mine back home was better. Mine had more power and options. Hers has a tendency to angle in one direction. Mine did to, but it would listen better when it was told to move. Hers doesn't listen as well. Which means part of my body will be experiencing the loveliness of warm water dancing upon my skin, while the other part (left side) gets cold and feels like a neglected step child. Poor cold left side!! Let me remove the shower head and warm you up. Brrrrrrrrr....one side is always a bit cold because the water doesn't bust out with the fierceness and coverage of other shower heads around the world.

Now, as much as I love removable shower heads, I only love them when it is a viable option to keep them in place in their holster to do things like rinse off your hair. This, I imagine, works perfectly for my roommate who is at least 4 inches shorter than me, but not so well for me. When I face the shower head we are at kissing level. My lips are even with the top of it. Which leaves the rest of my head. That sucks. So although I took gymnastics when I was a kid, I have to do quite the backbend on this one to get my hair rinsed without holding the shower head in my hand. In my non-scientific polls I have found that males seem to bend their heads forward in the showers and females seem to go for the backward approach. Odd that we're different, but it often (not always) seems to be the case for those I have asked. And no, this non-scientific study did not entail me peeping into people's showers to see how they bent! So anyways, I am having to adjust to my new showering environment and may buy a new showerhead at some point in time. I don't know if that could make it any taller though. But I probably don't have grounds to complain. Those who know my Dad know that he is a super-tall fella, and since my folks helped move me in, he too had to suffer with the short showerhead. It probably hit him a few inches above the belly button - haha!

Addendum: After writing this entry, and a couple weeks into my residence here, I did discover that the holster for the nozzle can be bent upwards, removing, at least somewhat, the necessity for elaborate backbending. It doesn't, however, have the strength to hold itself up for very long though, so this doesn't completely remove the backbend requirement =-(.
