I've always known I was a disgusting human being.
But now that I live by myself I can safely say it is to a greater extent than I had ever imagined.
When you live with people, your disgusting nature is somewhat restrained.
But now I have the opportunity to live it to the full.
Here is what I discovered about myself:
1. The dishes
It goes without saying that an unclean person will leave their dishes for an extended period of time before cleaning them.
So what makes me different?
I leave the food in there for a start. For example: I had a party. I served cocktail frankfurts. This involves boiling them in a pot. I did just that. Then left the remainders in the pot. In the water. For a week. They began to decompose. And pork I have heard is quite similar in smell and taste to human flesh. So it smelt like dead bodies up in here. Most people would be offended by that smell to the point of disposing of the source of said smell. Not me. I just put the lid on the pot. That fixed it.
I wish I had a photo for you.
It was disgraceful.
2. My bins
Living in an apartment means you have to take your garbage bags 'all the way' down stairs to dispose of them. So naturally I leave them until they are extremely full. Once again the smell begins. Nothing a little Glen 20 won't fix. ;)
And the recycling doesn't smell. So it just builds and builds to the point that it takes me three trips to take it downstairs. And that will only be if people are coming to visit. Well not my closest friends. Because they already know I am gross. And an alcoholic.
3. The bathroom
I have chosen to exercise a little bit of self restraint with this section because I feel like I could possibly change the way people view me by mentioning my lack of bathroom cleanliness. So I shall mention the nicer parts, which no aren't as interesting, but I choose to remain somewhat of a lady. I recently had a trip to lush, which for all of you not in the loop is an amazing smelling shop that sells bath products etc. These often include a whole lot of glitter. Which as you all know means it is never going to leave. My whole bath tub looks like it is dirty. But its gold glitter that has stuck to the white tub and walls...
Also, toothpaste has adhered to the sink and its surroundings.
4. Sleep habits.
I am not longer confined to one room. I sleep wherever. A few weeks ago I just fell asleep at 5pm on the couch and woke up at 5:45 the next morning. Hell yeah.
There is also no better feeling then finishing a night shift, coming home to a silent house and just being able to sleep for the whole day.
5. Food
My fridge has developed a strong smell...
So I stick to Jagermeister and ice cream. No really. That is what I had two nights ago. Delicious. Last night it was peanut butter on toast. That's protein right there. I paid attention in year one when we learnt about the food groups :)
6. Budgeting.
Or lack thereof.
7. The parties
Do you know what I don't miss about living with my parents? Having to ask to have people over. It's not that they would say no. But I had to ask permission.
Now I can have ridiculous parties! Like the last one I had, Oktoberfest themed. Yep. We got dressed up as beer maids and went around singing in german accents and drinking out of beer steins.
No, you can not see a picture.
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!!
