PUBLIC GIRL’S BATHROOM SINK : Cleaning lady/Soapy/Cold water/Gossip/Drain
1) Soapy
Sinks are soapy after being used a lot and not being cleaned, can be gross, bad tasting, slimy feel to fingers.
- The sink in the girl’s bathroom in the university library is often soapy. Girls are in a rush and often grab soap but it falls short of the sink and the water flow can’t reach it. It’s a pinkish colour and feels slimy. It leaves a ‘lavatory’ smell in the room.
2) Gossip spot
-In the bars or nightclubs, girls go to the bathroom in flocks to gossip. They usually hang around the sink where the mirrors are. They redo their makeup and make sure the girls they are with are feeling alright and having a good time.
3) Cold water
Sinks generally flow out cold water. If clean, you can drink it, wash your face, dab water onto clothing when dirty, and do laundry.
- I remember feeling ill one day and I rushed to the bathroom to dab some cold water on my face to cool me down and wake me up. The texture of the water on my face was refreshing and pleasing.
4) Drain
People lose things down drains all the time. Girls especially: earrings, necklaces, contact lenses, rings, a gold tooth (!?!??) etc.
- Drains are filthy with gunk and bacteria. However there are thousands of little treasures in the rough spots.
Extension: a plumber unblocking the drain and finds hundreds of dollars worth of possessions.
5) Cleaning lady
Sinks need to be cleaned on a daily basis, especially public ones. Imagine all of the disgusting materials left in the bathrooms: gunk, needles, hair, makeup, wet towels, etc.

5) Life of a….cleaning lady? Druggie?
1) We are often in a rush. We seem to have no time on our hands to do all of the things we want to do. We rush through the grocery store and buy things which are convenient rather than healthy. As a result, our body is under enormous amounts of stress and we die prematurely.
2) Having an emotional injury is as painful - if not more painful – than a physical one. Emotional injury is a permanent scar which needs to be dealt with by family, friends and partners. Sometimes it can lead to madness and special psychiatric attention is needed.
3) Being pregnant can be both a curse and blessing. So many young girls fall pregnant and need to leave school, and/or give up their initial dreams for new ones. Pregnancy can feel like an imprisonment to some girls.
4) Finding a buried or lost treasure is one of the most exhilarating feelings a person can have. A child who has lost their teddy. Eventually as the child grows older they get bored of the cuddly toy but still keep it hidden away in a safe spot. My cuddly toys are in my childhood treasure box.
5) Needles are horrible inventions. Druggies use them, share them and leave them around. I remember walking in the streets of San Francisco and my dad found a bag of used needles on the street. He was disgusted and carried them for about two blocks until he found a rubbish bin to dispose of them…

Grocery: There are so many brands of different products in a single grocery store. Twenty-six different bottles for milk on a single shelf…However, I love riding around in a shopping cart with my friends pushing me and having cart races up and down the aisles.
Psychiatric Ward: There is an eerie feeling which always comes upon you when you walk into a psychiatric ward – running or abandoned. It reminds me of scary movies all the time with a serial killer ghost which is out to get you.
Imprisonment: Visiting South Africa and Nelson Mandela’s cell. It was one of the most pivotal moments of my life.
Buried: in the sand, burying my friend and making sand castles and waterskiing.
San Francisco: When we are 50, a bunch of my friends and I are going to road trip around the US on Harley Davidson’s.
