what's that on your head?

At the most, I only wear my shirts 3 times before washing them. Jeans I wear a bit longer before washing. And as far as I'm concerned, I constantly buy these things; new, bundle, whatever.

But I only have ONE helmet, never wash it, put it (sometimes) on the floor, sit on it, leave it on my bike seat for God-knows-what to come over and stay there (am referring to microorganisms here) and the rain to soak, and I wear it on a daily basis. ON MY HEAD.

Today after quite some time procrastinating, I washed it. Yes, I WASHED MY HELMET. At first I only intended to wipe it a li'l bit. I applied some water to the part where the helmet meets my forehead to make it damp and used some facial cotton to wipe it. For those of you who're not in the know, facial cottons are white (or supposed to be white). And as soon as I wiped it, as if by magic, the facial cotton turned brown; waaaay browner than your average cigarette stubs. For a while I thought if I'd dunk the facial cotton in plain water, it'd make a decent impression of Nescafe 'O.' It was THAT brown.

Alas, I finished my washing. OK I didn't finish it. Just the part where my forehead meets the helmet. It took me like half an hour. Now I've a helmet which is damp where it meets the forehead. ~sigh~
