Das Gothhaus?
My accomodation problems for the coming year may well have been solved.
Two friends of mine proposed that we get a house together in either Rusholme or Fallowfield. Should this come off, the parties will be of biblical proportions (Proverbs 4:16-17, for the curious) and I'll be enjoying the novel experience of living with people I actually get on with.
That said, considering the bunch of us have been spending most weekends completely bladdered in each other's company, we may as well be living together for all the difference it'd make.
"Choose someone willing to listen to you sing the same song over and over again, offkey with broken lyrics. Someone you won't mind seeing you, and who won't themselves mind seeing you, drool, or laugh, or cry, or piss your pants with fear, or talk to God. Someone who will hold your hand while you take a shit to keep you from falling in and getting flushed down the drain. Someone, perhaps, a little stronger than you physically.
Definitely, someone who has tripped before, more than once. Someone who has stories to tell -- and things they won't say. Someone who seems to take it all seriously, but still has a sense of fun.
Definitely, someone with some degree of compassion and, gosh darn it, Wisdom.
Definitely, someone who won't leave you by yourself, even for a second.
If you choose someone you might get sexual with, be sure they will accept a clumsy, giggling fool as a lover, and that they won't be offended if you can't perform or forget to. Someone that can keep cool and keep you cool if you get pushy.
If you find anyone who meets all these criteria, consider marriage. Try to be worthy."
