To avoid complications, she never kept the same address

Can I tell you guys how much I LOVE living on my own?

There was a whole thread the other day on TrekBBS about how pissed off somebody was at his roommate messing with his computer, installing shit and getting it infested with spyware and viruses. Yesterday in the Terran chatroom someone (not Kindredwolf as I first misremembered) was ranting about another roommate borrowing his speakers without asking, returning them in the wrong place and knocking his computer over. brendan_moody never stops bitching about his headphone-challenged insomniac roommate. Even people you love will get up your nose with alarming regularity, like my mother and sister feeling perfectly free to interrupt my IM conversations, frantic fiction writing and occasionally cybersex with trivial crap - and then getting annoyed if I say I'm in mid-whatever, because it's on the computer, it's not real - gah!!!

No more. Never again. I can keep all my message boards logged in all the time, I can keep my Rampant Rabbit in the kitchen cupboard (if I keep it by the bed I'd forget to wash it and the dogs would chew it up - besides, it gives me a small depraved thrill to see it there next to the sugar and the coffee and the box of Pop-Tarts... I'm odd like that.) I can let my dogs lick plates without anyone telling me it's unhygienic (it's really not, you know), I can let them on the furniture, I can leave raw beef bones all over the floor and porn up on the computer, because it's ALL MIIIIINE!!!

Forgive me if I sound smug - it's because I am. And any of you are welcome to come and stay, any time.

As long as it's not for more than three days, that is.

ETA Memeage! Though why myrystyr couldn't have posted it before I finished this entry, I don't know.


The Fourth Doctor: Quirky, unpredictable, clownish
and often absent-minded, you are nonetheless
resourceful and quick to anger in the face of
injustice. Although occasionally clumsy and
unconsciously arrogant, you possess a highly
skilled mind, displaying powerful hypnotic and
meditative abilities. You sometimes play the
fool, but are completely fearless. You can
always be counted on in a tight spot...even if
it doesn't seem that way.

I didn't cheat to get that result, either, though if it hadn't come up I would have. Tom Baker as Dr Who was the first person I ever had detailed sexual fantasies about, a great many years ago. Ah, happy times...

" I can let my dogs lick plates without anyone telling me it's unhygienic (it's really not, you know)."

Actually, it is. Dogs have less bacteria in their mouth, but they still have bacteria. Besides, they lick their own butts and eat poop. :p

Of course, I do it too as long as the dishes go through the dishwasher afterward.

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

Well, of course I wash the dishes afterwards. At least, I'm certain I'd remember to if someone else was likely to eat off them... ;)

lol

and that is why we have switched to paper plates.

now if only i could get my mom to stop letting hersh eat out of the pots...

[myrystyr.livejournal.com]

glad to be of service... :)

What happens on the 4th day?

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

That's when I kick you the hell out, unless I'm given a really compelling reason to let you stay...

...I confess, I am incredibly lucky :) Zoe and I get along so well it's actually disturbing - I can't think of one major fight we've had since I started living here nearly two years ago. Computer sharing isn't a problem - we squabble over the internet cable every now and then, but she's got her comp and I've got mine, and if she needs mine for anything she's got her own account on it. We share every household chore, both like the same music, both watch the same television (hardly any - snooker, football (for the men) and Casanova), both appreciate the aesthetic appeal of naked men (she bought me that Ann Summers catalogue...) and both know the perils of interrupting the other when in full creative flow :)

(Plus if I lived on my own I'd never eat anything except cereal and wouldn't get out of bed until about three, which would be bad :/)

...and my evil ex roomate, whose boyfriends of the moment decided my computer was a good surface to mix all these fruity smelling drinks. I put a stop to that rather quickly, but still.

So you're happy to be living alone.

Ahhh, now you understand my frequent comments at TrekBBS about being ecstatically single. LOL

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

I always did understand. I'm just even more ecstatic not to be camping out in my mother's house any more :D

[brendan-moody.livejournal.com]

I think "never stops" is a slight exaggeration. I hope so, anyway.

He's not so bad, honestly. I'm just an impossible person to please . . .

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

I always exaggerate for effect, darling :D

i'm so scared of hershey getting a hold of one of mine and having to explain it to my mom it's not even funny. and i'm with you on the depraved thrills...

i so can't wait to move out.

I'm lucky with my mother, she's the queen of TMI herself and I can do things like compare sex toys and stuff. It woudl have felt icky to keep it in someone else's kitchen cupboard all the same, though...

I've managed to break my family; they now accept "talking to people online" as equivalent to "being on the phone". In fact, my mother came in to ask me something the other day, and actually *checked* I wasn't talking to anyone first...

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

Nice one! My sister would get in a strop if I so much as typed "brb" to the person I was talking to. Infuriating.
