We've this flatmate and her sister sometimes stays over because she rents a room too and it's very cheap and cozy and whatnot but it's also in the suburbs so it's much easier for her to stay here (which I don't mind at all. So much for wishing to live in a hippie community back when I was young but just as glum; it's bf's generous disposition that brings all sorts of people here) anyway this sister's birthday is tomorrow and she was talking on the phone and said smth like "i couldn't possibly invite anyone over to this shithole" and while she wasn't talking to me she did nevertheless say it in my vicinity and it hurt you know? It is in fact a shithole (mostly due to bf's compulsive hoarding which runs in the family but also the fact that I seem to be the only person doing the cleaning here) but it's also a welcoming and friendly shithole with guest sofas and snacks and enough patience and tolerance to build a fucking skyscraper inside the fucking Mariana Trench you bitch
