When you walk in your front door, which room do you enter?
The lounge room. It's the room with the lounges in it.
Do you have a dishwasher?
Nope. I've had one before, though, and always feel faintly guilty using it, like I'm wasting electricity when I could be using the box of Pizza Shapes I just ate to fuel my cleanliness instead.
Is your living room carpeted or does it have hardwood floors?
Floorboards throughout. I can't rollerskate on carpet.
Do you keep your kitchen knives on the counter or in a drawer?
Both. We've accumulated so many knives from former housemates over the years that we have no less than two knife blocks and a half a drawer full.
House, apartment, duplex or trailer?
House. Is a duplex what you get when you build your house out of toddler lego?
How many bedrooms is it?
Weee-eeelll....according to our landlord, three. But one of the alleged bedrooms has an entryway with no door in it, which removes it from bedroom contention in my mind. But we live in an university suburb, where a small space under the stairs can be let out as a studio apartment. For a lot of money.
Gas stove or electric?
Gas.
Do you have a yard?
Yes. It's full of sheds.
What size TV is in the living room?
It's okay. But don't ask me in centimetres.
Are your plates in the same cupboard as your cups?
Mugs have their own cupboard. Glasses are in the same cupboard, but on the shelf under. The same mechanics that have delivered to us a squillion knives have also given us at leat three sets of crockery, a brazillian glasses of all shapes, and more mugs than even we can filthy.
Is there a coffee maker sitting on your kitchen counter?
My mother who loves me got me an espresso machine for Christmas, and my wonderful boyfriend has learned to use it with such skill that I have been well and truly forever spoilt.
What room is your computer in?
The computer room. It usually contains more computers than people.
Are there pictures hanging in your living room?
Yes. I paint, so I hang artwork wherever I can. The bathroom and the kitchen are the only rooms without some sort of art in them.
Are there any themes found in your home?
Chaos, anarchy, disorder.
What kind of laundry detergent do you use?
Radiant Blackwash. It's made from the tears of a poet, weeping at the tragety of beauty. Because I are tragic goth.
Do you use dryer sheets?
I use the mighty drying power of the Sun. It doesn't generate much static.
Do you have any curtains in your home?
I like our curtains. Best ones I've ever gotten out of a rental. Big heavy burgundy light killers, with white reflective backs.
What color is your fridge?
Just white.
Is your house clean?
Nope. Not even in the slightest.
What room is the most neglected?
Probably the lounge room. All residents spend most of their time on their respective PCs, so the lounge room only gets used about once a week when I role play. And it's kind of off the main thoroughfare of the house, so if I leave a plate on the coffeetable on game night, it will stay there until following game night. Under sheets. And dice. And tissues, CD cases, lolly wrappers...good Lord, it sounds much more sordid than it really is. Well. Not that much more sordid.
Are the dishes in your sink/dishwasher clean or dirty?
Pretty grotty. But I like to let them build till we have a sink's worth. We're in the middle of a water crisis, doncheknow?
How long have you lived in your home?
Almost a year.
Where did you live before?
In a house made out of sticks and mould.
Do you have one of those fluffy toilet lid covers on your toilet?
May I be struck dead if I ever sink to that depth of depravity.
Do you have a scale anywhere in your house?
I had some attached to my fish, but he died.
How many mirrors are in your house?
Two in the bathroom, one in the toilet (over the sink) and three lined up to roughly approximate a full length mirror at the end of our hall. The odd effect of three seperate pieces of glass reflecting at subtley different angles makes everyone look short and blocky.
Look up. What do you see?
This. Do you have a garage?
Kinda. It's more of a shed than a garage, though.
