It's not like washing your hair is a problem.

It actually feels good.

Bathing: I don't necessarily take baths. I'm guessing maybe a month and a half is the longest I've gone without one.

Showering: Four days when I was hiking with my uncle in the Adirondacks. I did not want to go near that shower.

Swimming: The last time I went was when I was four years ago when I was a camp counselor. This five year old kid pulled my trunks down in front of a girl I kinda had a crush on. Traumatic. :7(

ten days probably when i was about 10 or nine.

i shower everyday but wash may hair every other day. i'm a clean motherfucker, i can't go three days without washing.

5 Days. I never shower on festivals.

Probably about 4 days but that was on a bike trip. I remember watching what I thought was a really great tan wash down the drain. Yuck!

Generally I'll shower once a day. When I first moved to NJ, I was showering twice or three times a day.

I shower when I wake up, then wash again once I've cycled into work. Note to work: Get some showers in, for crying out loud. I'm fed up with having to wash with a sink all the time.

maybe 25 hours without a shower.

A week or so I when I was a kid, maybe? Nowadays I shower daily.

It's almost a decade since the last time I went swimming. It took me a long time to learn how not to drown instantly. Then I finally managed to stay on the surface (which of course was a dreadful sight) and never wanted to do it again. I've been on dry land since.

my hair actually gets more dry the dirtier it is. i have to condition to put moisture in it. i have no body oil.

that said... i went a month one time without bathing. i was very ill and in bed, and i was left alone while my whole family went.... away. they came back and i was still in bed. i stunk and pretty much had only had water to drink the entire time.

What the fuck? You were left by yourself in a very ill state for a MONTH? Um, I don't know how else to say this, but that is really fucked up....

the only one who was crappy about it was my sister. she was supposed to stay with me, but went to dallas instead to stay with friends and i got progressively sicker. my mom was somewhere big and my dad was in europe....

Oh, that sounds hellish. I hope you gave your sister a good ass-kicking once you were finally mobile again!

i beat my sister when we were younger enough to last a lifetime. actually, we'd still fight up until the point she moved away (about 5 years ago)

EMMAh 09.17.2008 08:44 PM
