Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

It's getting to that point in the year when the end is approaching. Since I'll be leaving D.C. for Minnesota, I'm trying to ration my consumption, so that things run out just as I'm ready to go. I don't want to have to buy more of anything, and then end up with too much when I leave.

I think I'm set on laundry detergent, and my ramen supply looks good. The trick will be making it through April on just 2 rolls of toilet paper.

This trailer stays wet and we're swimming in debt

...flashing back to our junior year when we somehow managed to go through two rolls a day. I think we decided it was due to guests who would come over from next door for the SOLE PURPOSE of using our toilet, outright theft and the huge asses of select residents of that apartment.

Oh, and I give up on the song lyrics. All of them. And 'They Might Be Giants' lyrics should be excluded out of fairness. Although they were pounded into my long-term memory for two years.

I don't think I've used TMBG more than twice. I'm sure of it in fact. This one was Deanna Carter's "Did I Shave My Legs for This?" The last post was the New Pornographers' "Ballad of a Comeback Kid." Some of them have been easy though. I picked two toughies on purpose.

Chris, I had a TP-related flashback of my own to junior year just a few weeks ago. Andy and I were shopping for random stuff and he had to get TP at Target. As he grabbed a big ol' 24-roll package, I laughed at the memory of us going through one of those things in what seemed like hours. Insane. I still blame Danielson.

And Marsh.

Yes. Those two poop too much.

Geez, you guys probably went through TP junior year faster than me and the three girls I lived with. That's crazy.
Reading the comments though, I got flashbacks of how ugly your toilet was junior year.
