Some days I’m feeling sexy and so I write about blowjobs or threesomes. Other days I’m feeling funny so I write about dating or the skeeze-bags who want to buy my underwear. On a really good day I hit the snark just right and out comes pure bitch-gold. Then there are the times like tonight when I find myself ankle-deep in shit water in my bathroom.
As if standing in shit weren’t bad enough, it was my own shit. MY SHIT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO TURN ON ME.
It was poo time. I got my magazine, dropped my jeans, and was having a lovely time. Flush, pull up jeans, wash hands, walk out with a smile on my face.
Then I heard that dreadful sound of rushing water that can only mean one thing: aw fuck. I ran to the bathroom. The toilet was overflowing with brown water. POOP IS EVERYWHERE! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
What’s my first impulse? Save the Cosmopolitan! [I know I KNOW okay?! Shit water is covering my fancy white tile and I save the fucking Cosmo magazine with “Hair That Gets You What You Want” printed on the cover. There is no need to point and laugh. I mean, fuck, I spent twenty minutes standing in shit-water, is that not embarrassment enough?]
Water hits my toes, then the bottom of my jeans. My eyes dart from toilet to feet to floor. Why won’t the fucking thing stop?! It’s never done this before! THE TOILET PASSED THE POO TEST MONTHS AGO OTHERWISE I WOULDN’T HAVE RENTED AN INFERIOR BATHROOM! WHY IS IT DOING THIS TO ME NOW??? WHY AT MIDNIGHT ON A FUCKING SUNDAY NIGHT?! WHAT HAVE I DONE TO ANGER THE TOILET?! IT’S NOT MY FAULT! I ATE A SALAD, YOU DIPSHIT!!
Frantically I pulled up the legs of my jeans to my knees, flung the bath towel off the shower rod onto the floor, and pulled off the top to the back of the toilet.
It’s times like this I really wish I had a boyfriend. Boys like icky things and potty jokes. They are one with poo. Where oh where is my imaginary boyfriend? Hey sweetie, why don’t you fix this and I’ll go make us some flan? BJ later love ya okay kisses!!
The water wouldn’t stop overflowing. OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS IS ICKY ICKY ICKY! GOOD LORD ALMIGHTY MAKE IT STOP!!!!
I ran into the living room where I had left yesterday’s pool towel [it’s Texas. It’s mid-October and it’s still ninety degrees. This is normal.] The water had nearly made it to the carpet in the hallway. With a triumphant flourish I threw down the huge towel as a barricade to keep the water inside the bathroom. It worked! The water was backing up in the bathroom! And now I’m standing I AM STANDING IN SHIT WATER. I perched one foot on the bathtub and raised up on the tip-toes of the other. WHY HASN’T THE WATER STOPPED YET?! I pulled up the floaty ball thing because it is the only thing I know to do to fix a toilet other than duct taping the whole fucking thing closed and praying the water pressure doesn’t create a geyser of shit-water in my neighbor’s bathroom.
I waited a few seconds. All is quiet except for the slow drip of water from the toilet to the pool on the floor. I let go of the ball floaty thing. The miniature Niagara Falls of shit-water starts again.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
I pull it up again. I am standing on one foot in shit-water with the floaty thing in my hand. I have no idea what to do. The phone is too far away for me to use my free toes to dial my father. I am fucked.
NO. I AM A SMART INDEPENDENT WOMAN! I DO NOT NEED A MAN!! At least not for this. I AM A FEMINIST! I OWN POWER TOOLS! I CAN FIX SHIT! I WILL FIX THE SHIT SITUATION ON MY OWN!! GRRR, MOTHAFUCKAS, GRR!
I run out the bathroom and grab a couple more towels from the dirty laundry. Two go directly in front of the toilet to hold back the worst of the water. The third one goes directly in front of the one protecting the carpet.
The big scrubby brush I use for cleaning the tub is lying on the floor. In shit water. It has a handle. A handle covered in shit water. I grab it and maneuver the handle to tuck under the metal arm while the larger part rests on the porcelain. After a couple tries I get it to hold so that the floaty thing is still and water stops flowing.
Silence.
By this time I am ankle-deep in shit water. I wish I were exaggerating. I would love to be exaggerating about this, but it was so bad that four of my ten little piggies are still crying in horror of the memory.
Once the water stopped, there was a damn of towels holding back three inches of shit-water.
Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. THIS IS NOT HOW MY RELAXING SUNDAY NIGHT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO.
I spent the next hour cleaning the bathroom and unclogging the toilet. To top off the fun, the cleaning products I use are kept by the toilet. That meant they were victims of Shitfest ‘07 and required extensive cleaning before they themselves could be used. It took a total of seven towels, an entire roll of paper towels (the good ones! this is why you don’t buy the generic crap, mother), two loads of laundry, innumerable and frightfully creative expletives, a 25-minute shower, and a chug from the bottle of wine in the fridge.
So that story was nice and cute (in a totally disgusting let’s-never-speak-of-this-again sort of way) but there’s more to this post than the simple shit-water situation.
Every once in a while I feel the need to remind readers that there is more to me than sex. When I see that nearly 75% of my daily readers find me from Google searches for “how to give a blowjob” or “nympho,” it gets depressing. I may write about sex and I may love writing about sex, but I cannot always write about sex. I’m fucking human. I go four and a half months without getting laid. I get caught up in work I have to do for my “real” job. I cry. I have shitty days, and on those shitty days I don’t give a fuck about sex. All I want to do is get in the shower and scrub the scent of shit-water off my skin.
Many days I am damn proud to be Google’s #2 blowjob queen, but sometimes I want to scream there is is more to me than sex. Not that I have a right to be angry–what is to be expected when I call myself the Over-Educated Nympho and write detailed posts about blowjobs, sex, and threesomes? It’s fun and I enjoy it, but I’m not like that all the time.
Do I ever think about ending OEN? Not at all. I can’t. I’m not all sex, but I’m not all serious either. Sometimes I look at my blog and wonder how so many different voices come out of one person (sweet merciful crap, I had an aunt with schizophrenia). Sometimes I wonder if I should quit OEN and call myself something else that wouldn’t be such a let-down to those who come in search of nothing but dirty whore sex and find themselves face to face with this side of me.
Then I remind myself that this is how I am. Moody as hell, horny as fuck, and everything in between. I don’t know any other way to be.
I am not about sex. I am about life. Life is wandering, love, anger, epiphanies, frustration, and rivers of unexpected shit-water. Of course sex is a large part of life (especially when you’re not getting it), but there is so much more to life–to me–than sex. I’m still figuring out just how much more.

Even if you think your story is the least sexy thing ever… on the Internet, someone, somewhere disagrees with you. I’m not googling to check, though.

Great write up!
Next time there’s such an emergency you can shut off the water supply to the toilet too, there’s a valve thingy on the water supply line underneath. At least then it will stop when the water in the tank runs out. That will give you time to deal with whatever the problem is.
You should be happy to be #2 on Google; I’m getting good traffic, and 0 of my visitors come from Google. Not sure what happened, as I used to be there on the first page in some searches.
Love your blog!

Icky. Very icky. I feel for you and your toes.
Still, this post made me laugh out load (I think it’s called LOL) several times. You are one funny woman.

It must have been a bad weekend for water, my water heater exploded. That little tale just made me feel better about it. I would still like some hot water…..but at least I don’t want to cry anymore. It is stressful being a strong, independant woman. Especially when it comes to plumbing. I think most of your readers love the whole, horny, moody package. You can make me incredible horny with your descriptive sexual writing and then have me laughing my ass off about toliet water. What’s not to love?

I just laughed out loud in a coffee shop, and fellow patrons are looking at me oddly.
While I love reading about your sex life, I wanted you to know that I only take the time to read you regularly because you are articulate and clever.
I could read your words about shit-water all day. That’s how good you are.

Amusingly, another of my blog-buddies had this happen to her in the past week. I’ll tell you what I told her…I had my first experience with toilet repair last year, and I’ve never wanted to smash porcelain with a sledgehammer so badly in all my life.
At least you’re in an apartment, so when, say, a year after you invent new expletives in the act of toilet repair, tree roots pierce your 50-year-old terra cotta sewage pipes outside, clogging up both toilets so that you don’t have a working bathroom in the house for four days, you don’t have to pay to have a plumber spend all day at $100 an hour to tell you the problem is fixed “for a year or so.”
Bleagh.

Oh. My. God! What a (sorry) shitty Sunday night.
I enjoy all your posts. As humans we are definitely multi-faceted. You have a gift to tell a story, be it about awesome sexy or icky toilet issues, so don’t go trying to force a change.

Great post! That sounds… well, shitty. But now there are hundreds (thousands?) women out there who can not only give fantastic blowjobs but can also repair toilets by themselves. Oh, and deal with the relationship/work/family/etc. crap. And all because of you! You should be proud
Joanna | 15-Oct-07 at 10:54 am | Permalink
Sighs…that seriously sucks about your toilet. Have it checked cuz once it is fucked, it will likely fuck up again. Be prepared.

I have to agree with Autumn (who by the way have a cool name). I wouldn’t be a regular reader if you weren’t a good writer and having something to write about. I’m not only here for the sex posts, even if that were the way I found you.
I think when it’s all about sex it becomes boring to be honest. Cos sex is just part of life, not all there is to it.
(This comment isn’t very well written, I’ve barely slept the last two nights)

Alright well if it makes you feel any better, one time I had to do the number two at a friends house (normally I just say no but I really had to go lol) anywho…her toilet was frigged…I was supposed to use the downstairs one, but when you’re as forgetful as I am…you forget! Lol so I did something very similar to what you did, except it was three inches, more like 1, and my friends Dad was the one that fixed it ^_^
Why I decided to share? Don’t Know
LOVE Y’US

Yes, that was really gross, but I feel for you - I’m single too and I’ve had to deal with overflowing toilets before too - it totally sucks. You on the other hand, rock!
Juli | 15-Oct-07 at 4:18 pm | Permalink
aww you poor thing! Sounds like an I Love Lucy episode! LMAO!! I was fortunate? to grow up with lame, weak toilets that clogged up ALL the time, so I totally know the first thing is to drop to my knees and shut off the water valve. You can leave the water shut down while you plunge, and have no overflow. I’m so paranoid, I ALWAYS watch the toilet flush.. just in case. And by the way, though your sex entries are entertaining, my FAVORITE are your man conquests, your entries where you are questioning yourself, the HUMAN ones that show a little of who you are, NOT your sex entries. LOVE your blog!

” pulled up the floaty ball thing because it is the only thing I know to do to fix a toilet other than duct taping the whole fucking thing closed and praying the water pressure doesn’t create a geyser of shit-water in my neighbor’s bathroom.”
This made me laugh out loud, literally…i was cracking up for a solid couple minutes
and I totally agree with everyone, as great as the sex stories are (finish the 3 somes !!!), and yes, that’s how and why I found you, I can honestly say that your tales of being human are what keep your readers hanging on wanting more. they invite your readers to the mortal side of you which we can all relate to. sex does get boring after a while when it is the ONLY focus, because its not what lifes all about.
touche to you for such fantastic artwork through words!
Justin | 15-Oct-07 at 5:18 pm | Permalink
Actually you push down on the big rubber thing at the bottom to stop the water faster then pulling up the float or turning the water off. It’s saved me from that many times except once.
I started reading because of the title but stayed because of your everyday life posts that makes us all know that we are not alone it issues we have with life.
A Loyal Reader | 15-Oct-07 at 5:36 pm | Permalink
That’s pretty nasty. When I was little my brother used to leave the bathroom with a pile of shit and toilet paper in the toilet and I’d go in there expecting to take a nice piss to find that… Then have to flush it and hope it didn’t overflow… The times it did were aweful, but never that bad.
That sounds like an experience you tell your grandkids for some pointing and laughter.

Wow, I can almost remember the days when the comments were shorter than the original post - and sometimes I was even the only one to comment. How the popular start to flourish!
Vix, everyone has to go through this situation. Even though we’re not supposed to talk about it anymore - you did a wonderful job
And of course us good readers know there’s more of you than just sex … there’s writing and corporate-vix and going-out-vix and staying-home-vix … yeah ok a little one sided perhaps, but the interweb is still a 2-d world
Great work kiddo

If there are disappointed people out there that is just too bad; as you said you are human. Besides it is fun to listen to your day and relate so very well.

I found your blog for it’s sex stories. I’ve read it since then for the way you write and entertainment you can provide with some of your stories - this one, the Triad, etc - and will gladly come to your aid if this situation should occur again, just to repay you for the enjoyment I’ve experienced from your blog.

You handled it a helluva lot better than I would have, that’s for sure. I could very seriously see myself curled up in a ball crying, “Make it stop, Mommy!” I don’t know how to do squat around the house. It’s a miracle I’m able to survive alone.
I must say that I totally empathize with what you had to deal with, but I haven’t laughed this hard at the visual images in my head in a long time.
Em | 16-Oct-07 at 6:54 am | Permalink
ew! Not fun not fun not fun! If it makes you feel any better (probably not), I think the floaty thing is called a ballcock… and you were holding it up with a shitty stick…

Well, someone will google “shit water” sooner or later and be amply rewarded, so it will all be worth it, yes?
Plumbing is one of the first things i had to learn about when i became newly single, and it doesn’t bother me like electrical problems. Pretty hard to drown myself in the toilet, but i could electrocute myself trying to fix wiring. This is the kind of thing i think.

It’s a relationship between you and us, lust is our initial attraction, then we fall in love (sorry, I don’t believe in love at first sight-it’s lust) build a relationship on honesty, trust, loyalty and, of course, sex. As in any relationship, there must be compromises as well as acceptance.

We accept you in all your good, bad, ugly and horniness. We are here for you when you need that cyber-shoulder and when you just wanna share. If we were just in it for the sex, we would’ve ran off with the first slutty blog skirt that crossed our paths.
Love Ya Vix

My reactions to everyone’s comments:
1. Awwwwww you really do love me! Even when I’m standing in poo! You are such sweet perverts. The memory of shit-water on my feet has been replaced with candy-scented warm fuzzies.
2. THERE’S AN EMEGENCY SHUT-OFF VALVE?! SON OF A BITCH.

I sympathize with you, and Taoist Biker … I lived in a basement apartment, and the back up drain was located, under vinyl tile, in my kitchen. I came home after a weekend away to discover sewage ALL OVER MY KITCHEN and half way down the carpet in my hall, and it had seeped under the makeshift wall separating my bedroom from the kitchen.
My landlord was no where to be found, but I’m a smart woman, I have an uncle who works for the city, so I called him to see who I’m supposed to call in such instances. An hour later, the waterworks people had snaked the drain and pulled out, no word of a lie, a TREE that was about 5 inches tall that was growing in the terracotta pipelines under the front yard.
Three hours later, with 3 borrowed mops (cause I didn’t own one of my own), I got all the sewage mopped up and my landlord came home, and got mad at me for calling water works, because now she would be billed.
Screw you bitch, I had other people’s shit on my kitchen floor, thats like a bio hazard. I moved out shortly after.

I must say this is surprisingly articulate for the subject matter involved
One minor nit though: dam, not damn.
And for what it’s worth, having read some sex stuff before this post, the impression I got was that there is definitely substance and “life” in it, which is lacking in almost anything sex related on the internet nowadays (informative or entertaining). You make a good impression, and it’s obvious there is more to the book than just its… err… blog.
Thanks

I really get where you’re coming from, too. I’m a little overeducated and nymphomaniacal too

I second raven-temptress’ thoughts.
Hey, my brother-in-law is a plumber, and wouldn’t have hesitated one moment. He would have fixed the problem while the floor was still dry.
But he wouldn’t have been able to tell the story half as well as you did. That’s why I’m here.
