Too Easy

Kendall sent me this picture and explained: "When I was a Freshman in college, I would routinely pass out on the counter in my dorm room with my head in the sink. Its nice to have a place where you can vomit and sleep all at once without needing to do laundry in the morning. This is one of those not so flattering occasions."



Now, my problem with this is that she's clearly cheating the system and making things too easy. Having the bed right next to the sink makes it so you never have to wake up on your bathmat because you fell asleep while waiting to puke in the toilet. I've got a grizzled New England Protestant work ethic mentality and firmly believe there's more honor in the struggle and suffering. Cutting corners will catch up with you in the end. You're supposed to be miserable and no task is too Sisyphean. Sure, I'd like to wear a diaper and shit in it all day instead of getting up to go to the bathroom, but I'm not going to.

When I see someone in delightfully comfortable sweatpants with an fantastic plan for making their life easier, I'm enraged. I'm not saying I'm not lazy (I am), I just believe in suffering and constant misery.

She is just begging for a drunken shaming with condiments or a woooden spoon... yes, up her ass.

being cold on the floor is a special part of your hangover wake up, a tradition to be treasured and feared.
