because sometimes you move into a collective with your two best friends and think that every night is going to be like a sleepover party.
untill you find out that they never wash their dishes, or snore really loud, or eat with the smack smack smacking equivalent to a large woman’s feet schlopping on the tile floor of your local indoor pool. or sometimes they cuddle with boys on the couch when you REALLY wanted to just sit around in your pajamas watching skins all day. sometimes you’re watching your figure and they decide that that is the moment when they’re going to bread and deep fry everything in the kitchen and serve it with a side of ice cream. and sometimes hearing their incessant sexy time through the walls makes you want to curl up with your mom and pretend that “oh baby” still was a term of endearment for a tiny child. and sometimes you actually do run home to your mom and pretend like you still live with her.
despite that, i have learned several different things:
1. vegan food. holy crap. so good.
2. 90’s music videos, CAN get old.
3. label your food, it doesn’t mean your a prick, it just means you like your jar of pickles in your own goddamn mouth.
4. headphones are awesome.
5. sleeping next to someone else is always better than alone.
6. even the threat of cyanide will not make anyone do the dishes untill their ready.
7. people, including myself, are particular. they’re chock full of opinions about everything from how to raise a cat to wether or not to flush pee. its your job to decide which of these is actually valid.
8. if you’d like to start a blog about collective living, you should do it.
9. if you’re going to invite your parents over, hide the weed.
10. dance parties are awesome, just don’t plan an end time because no one is going to listen to you when you say its time to go home.
