LOO POO WEE PEE
Hi, I’m Linn. I’m 21 years old and poo all the time. I still enjoy poo jokes and probably always will. My interest for toilets is also above average. I’ve got Crohns disease. But fuck that, why grow up!
With Crohns dissease you go to the toilet a few more times a day than the average person, both in the middle of the night, and several hours before you would normally get up in the morning.

CROHN WHAT? Crohn’s disease is most likely caused by an over active immune defence system. The immune defence system thinks that the digestive system is ill, and attacks the imaginary threat. Since the digestive system is perfectly healthy this results in inflammation, wich again results in pain, diarrhea, weight loss, vomiting, fatigue and several other symptoms not directly relatet to the digestion. It is a chronic diesease, wich means it’s for life, and may attack every segment of the digestive system, from mouth to anus. There is no known cure, but the course of treatment is to control the inflam mation and treat other symptoms.
Traces of inflammation can be found all over the digestive system. ESOPHAGUS STOMACH
SMALL intestine 4-6m LARGE intestine 1-1,5m
The more a section is inflamed, the more scartissue, and sometimes polyps, develops.This is narrowing, and in the long run, obstructing the passage and causes a lot of pain when food tries to come trough. The section before gets overworked and widened.
Diarrhea is very common, we celebrate each time we don’t have it!

November 2006- classmates ask me to stand up on a desk so they can see how skinny I am. Imuran has stopped working.
December 2006- Three days at hospital, trying out a new biological medication called Remicade, given intravenously every eight weeks.
Remicade works perfectly, life back at 100%, it’s awesome!
Spring 2010- awful skin rashes.
Autumn 2010-changes from Remicade to Humira. Same medication made differently and in injection form.You should be able to set the injection yourself, I can’t.
Humira works as good as Remicade, my mother sets the injection.

PUB CHRIS
UBLIC NORWEGIAN RISTMAS PARTY On the countryside in Norway it’s normal to have public Christmas parties every day from Christmas Day til New Year’s Eve. These take place in quite different premises, everything from pubs to local assembly halls. And since everyone is home for Christmas and the age limit can be from 15 to 20, the toilets on these parties can turn out to be quite... interesting. When I came in to pee in this toilet there was a girl lying on the floor in the other cubicle, her blond hair and pink dress flowing over the floor and her shoes pointing out through the opening. I tried to ask if she was ok or needed help, but she only stirred and dissap peared and I didn’t see more of her.
“The flush toilet, more than any single invention, has ‘civilized’ us in a way that religion and law could never accomplish.” Thomas Lynch
The flush handle in a public toilet can have up to 40 000 germs per square inch.
HOW TO WALK IN THE LOO
WAY IN 1. First look. Take in what you see and plan your way from here.
2. Turn your feet to get the other way around and at the same time avoiding whatever that’s on the floor.
3. Position yourself by the toilet seat, pull down pants, sit down.

HOW TO WALK IN THE LOO WAY OUT 4. When you’re finished, stand up, pull up pants. 5. Twist on your foot to find flush button while still avoiding stuff on floor.
6. Get the hell out!

UBICLE DANCE Most people tend to choose the cubicle in one of the ends, thinking this is a safer choice since there is at least one solid wall.What they don’t know is that these are the dirtiest ones with most bacterias, because these are the ones most used. If you want a “clean” cubicle you should choose one in the middle.
1. I’ll take the inner cubicle, snug in the corner. 2. NOPE! Poo in the toilet bowl. 3. Maybe... this one, far down... naah, taken. 4. OOH, MIRROR! 5. That one! That one, yes, this is good.

When you get the urge to go to the toilet anytime, anywhere you get to see quite a few of them. Some better than others. Also, you tend to explore a bit when you get bored!
