WWC(ish): bitter & sweet

so i, uh, totally intended to do this week's WWC since i've been such a slacker recently, and the words were totally fun, too: bitter and sweet.

except. yeah. i suck. BUT! even though i do not have PHOTOS, i still have PICTURES for you. because i care, people. because i care.

so here we have an illustration of why living alone right now is bittersweet:

it makes me very, very bitter to have to pay double rent and double utilities. bitter, and sad.

...and yet i've got to admit that it's pretty sweet that i can run around in my underwear and no one is there to care / cringe / holler inappropriately.

ta-da!

in roommate news, i MAY have a friend moving in this weekend! yay! hopefully! someone i actually KNOW, too, as opposed to the craigslist folks who have failed to come through thus far. oh craigslist. how i love you, even while acknowledging how thoroughly unreliable 90% of your users are.

  2. BWAHAHAHAHHAA. Those illustrations are AWESOME.

    Jason always yells at me to close the shades when I change clothes, but honestly, the idea that someone is hovering at their window, binoculars at the ready, at the precise angle they would need to see me, for a 4-second glimpse, seems HIGHLY unlikely.

  3. Ouch on the bills, esp. where you live!!

    Sweet for all the right reasons!
    I've had good luck and not-so-good luck rooming with friends. But rooming with acquaintance? No good luck there...just the bills getting paid.

    Best roomie of all has been my husband.

  8. Oh, I feel your pain over the bills. I have lived alone for so long though that I doubt I could stand to have a roomie now. Great play and I love the illustrations.

  9. I LOVE your "representations"! Who need pictures when you can draw?
    And crossing my fingers that your friend works out - MUCH nicer to have someone you know than an unreliable stranger. I know what you mean about Craig's list - love it, but some of the airheads on there - sheesh!

  15. Love the pics. You're a Microsoft Paint DaVinci.

    So I'm going to go ahead and guess the code has something to do with underwear.

  17. Fingers crossed you get a flatmate!

    I think living alone would be fun. I'd never wear pants in the lounge again.

  19. There are a lot of guys on Craigslist who won't mind if you run around the apartment in your underwear. When I first moved to NYC, I was amazed by how many dudes listed a "roommate wanted" in some kick-ass part of the city, and they were offering free or really cheap rent in exchange for the girl just walking around in her undies and/or naked, or full-on sexual favors. Sickos, I tellz ya.

  20. LOL. You're funny. Pictures because I care people. Of course if I were a cynic I might say it was because you had too much time on your hands.
