yeah the time waste thing; come to think of it, that's something
   I hated about showers. I mean once I was _in_ the shower (and
   not successful at avoiding it), I always enjoyed them. I'd sing
   in the shower, waste lots of water, all that stuff. I'd even
   RINSE, LATHER, REPEAT, just like the bottle said. Three, four
   times.

   Then, shivering, cold, itchy all over (and it wasn't
   soap-on-the-skin or dry-skin, and the dozen other suggestions my
   mother had for me at the time - we investigated them all through
   the years) - I'd go play, but then tell myself, "next time,
   she's not getting me in there".

   So yeah - time is definitely a part of it; hadn't thought of
   that.

   Sensory issues: Up to and including 3rd grade, I was always
   adjusting my belt and my shoelaces. Shoes always too tight or
   loose, belt too tight or loose. I'd pull on my socks constantly
   to straighten out a wrinkle, or flip it around when the sock was
   facing the wrong way.

   It's a maddening feeling;

   Oddly enough too, I was a total water bug. I'd swim everyday
   when I could, loved the water, loved swimming, I even liked the
   hot shower afterwards and didn't have issues.

   So, who knows what it is

   And J C* nailed it on the head. From the moment I realized that
   "I smelled" (7th grade), I think I lived in the shower 'til I
   was 18. So a lot of what I said in the first message, while
   true, had a lot more exceptions that I forgot about. Oh well,
   I'm still piecing my life story together and trying to fill up
   the holes.
