Not Question Time*, But An Interrogative Conversation
I have a lot of things swirling around the brainspace, but none are really prepared for public discourse just yet. Yet, I feel the need to connect in a non-locked entry (this could be boredom, loneliness or some other ephemeral emotion). So here are some questions for you about you and your life

7) S. and I have been in the apartment for 2 years. It's a basement apartment (despite needing to go up stairs to get in) in a house built into a hill. This means that: there are only windows on one side of the house, in the winter we get maybe 3 hours of light, we get all the fun bugs including all of the house centipedes and spiders, and the 100 year old dust from the constant renovations all gathers in our apartment. I actually like the apartment and, for the most part, the landlord. However, the basement living combined with the peculiar spacing of the apartment (lots of open space that isn't really usable due to odd nooks and corners) and the lack of storage space (my clothing closet is in the living room!) just made me want to move on.
I generally find it both. S. and I are old people, so our schedules and routines are embarrassing and ridiculously low-key. This is naturally completely turned on its head whenever we have company. But, I've noticed that my stress level really depends on the people/person visiting. S. and I have worked hard to create a certain calm, positive and safe energy in our home space, so really negative, hyperactive or self-absorbed people can really throw us for a loop. However, most of our friends are, even on their worst days, pretty positive so it isn't usually a big deal. I am also supremely lonely here, particularly since the only jobs I'm working right now are either from home or at the video store where I man the counter alone, so I'm willing to put up with much more for company.
