Dammit, Dammit, DAMMIT!!

I missed a show.

I had a ticket for The Diary Project today. I checked the ticket when I got up this morning to confirm the date and time. This was my first mistake. I was newly awake and my brain was clearly not in Full Function Mode yet. I read 12 pm as midnight and not noon. So, thinking I had plenty of time, I toodled about my place, checked my e-mail, etc. Suddenly it dawned on me... Noon!! I looked at the clock... 11:53.

So there I was, standing in my kitchen, still in my pyjamas, unfed, unshowered and now very unhappy.

DAMMIT!

I'm not upset that I can't refund the ticket; I have no qualms about giving the artists my money. I'm upset that I didn't get to see a show I wanted to see, and watch a performer I wanted to watch.

I'm sorry, Marliss. I had a moment of stupidity and I missed your show.
I hope it was a good one anyway.

For all my nerdy friends who were curious.

Ok. Guys, I don't know if this happens in your changerooms or not, but it certainly happens in the ladies changeroom.

Why is there always the one lady in the shower who has no shame and a very unflattering body type?

Guaranteed, every time I go to the pool there is always the one lady in the shower who is either morbidly obese or skeletally thin that is just nekkid as all getout and doesn't care who knows it!

Why??? I don't want to see your nakedness! I don't even know you!!

Like this one time, when I was much younger, I was heading back to the changeroom after a swim, and there was this Very Large lady in the showers, naked and soapy. But the shower she was using was in full view of the public hallway, where everybody could see her. Ew.

And today, this lady who was showering next to me was mostly bones. I could see all of them, because she was lacking in a bathing suit and any kind of body fat.

I know what you're thinking: "But Nez, you have no shame either; you change in front of people all the time!"

I claim that this is a different because a) I change my clothes, I do not get naked; and b) I am not usually among total strangers.

...

Or am I just being weird about this? I know that naked is natural, and beautiful; I happen to believe that the human body is an incredibly beautiful thing. But this showering with naked strangers thing just makes me feel a little uncomfortable. What's up with that?
