Living in Ireland Part 21948835: The Megan is a Girl Edition
So. Showers. Very important thing, right? Clearly vital to the good-smellingness of the world. I have one. I think I have mentioned it somewhere before.
I was slightly excited to note when I first walked in here that I had my very own shower (and a bathroom, clearly). No waiting in line in a towel in the hall! Excitement! Then, however, I took a good LOOK at the shower and realize that is quite literally just a corner of my not-large bathroom! There is a track that cuts off the corner of the room-which-is-really-a-corner and a shower head. The toilet is practically inside this segregated shower space! Which should be difficult as this space is not large at all, but it's a relative thing. I can probably prop my leg on the toilet to shave. Not something I've tried yet but it sounds like a valid option at the moment.
Now allow me to actually talk about the act of showering. Turning on the shower looks like it's going to be an ordeal: it's a bar with knobs and numbers and a red button. However, after looking at it for a few moments I thought I had it worked out. I pulled the curtain around and reached in and turned it on.
The entire bathroom IMMEDIATELY FLOODS ABOUT MY FEET. I am glad, at this point, that I've been warned about this and did not leave my clothes on the floor!
Having achieved Water Pressure, I step inside. It is like being enclosed in shower curtain. Shower curtain that wants to be all up in your business. It's like, Molesting Curtains. But! I managed. I was cleaned. I was only mildly molested by curtains and nothing got drenched as it was all off the ground and out of the flood.
Now this is where I am a Girl. I have hair. It is short. It can look very cute. It requires being styled via hairdryer to achieve Cute.
I noticed this issue at my hotel as well-- there is something strange about Irish buildings, apparently. As it seems as though the power outlet is never near the mirror. And there are multiple mirrors! What gives?!
So I was a genius. There IS an outlet by my laptop, clearly. And I have a webcam. I'm sure you see where this is going!
Tip: It worked REALLY WELL.Something about the angle actually made it EASIER.
However, all this being said and me being showered, clothed and hair-dried, I'm off to see what's going on! Have a nice day, guys! ♥

I literally laughed aloud. And you drying your hair via webcam? GENIUS. I heart you! Thanks for the amusing start to my day [and I'm sorry yours was slightly traumatic]!

NEVER STOP POSTING. I think I would die if you did.
You don't want to kill me, do you?!?!?!
Love,

And how dare you allow CURTAINS to molest you before I get the chance to. >\

You are, however, quite welcome to challenge them to a duel to the death. But beware! Drapery can, upon occasion when in sufficiently creepy arches, be deadly.

I'm actually at Trinity College Dublin, er. In the middle of Dublin! I live a bit outside town, though. At Trinity Hall in Dublin 6, just past Rathmines! I've been in town almost a week now and my god, do I love it! Everyone is so freaking awesome. Classes start next week though, so I'm sure this laziness will go!
I'll keep those in mind! Our hang-out so far seems to be McMurphy's Pub, just because it's close and pretty nice. Keep in touch, yeah?!
