WHY IT'S SO WONDERFUL NOT TO HAVE ROOMMATES
Since I moved out, I've been living alone – and I loved and still love it. While all my friends were sharing a student house with 35 others, I had a little house all to myself. After a year, there came Cat Disco as a lovely roommate, and that's where it stayed. Boring, lonely, and uninviting is what many people often think. But let me tell you why living alone is the absolute best.
Walking around naked
You can just do that without anyone seeing. Maybe some roommates are so comfortable with each other that walking around naked is no problem for them either, but you never know when someone suddenly has a visitor and there you are in your naked vagina. In line with this: cleaning while naked. We already talked about that here earlier. And by the way, you can also freely do a pipi with the door open. All the food is for you.
I remember an episode in the house where 4 of my friends live, where one became FURIOUS when she discovered that her last Red Bull had disappeared. "Oh," said the other, "I drank that yesterday." Really, the house was too small. When you're alone, you never have that; everything is for you and you don't have to deal with shelves or containers for who gets what. Wonderful.
Nightly visits.
I've always found that the most complicated thing about roommates. How can you have a session of
sexy time in vivid detail when theoretically the whole house can listen in? That you're lying there moaning and groaning while your roommate is one wall away cramming for her statistics exam. And then there's the thing about the next morning , that your nightly lover has to quietly leave the house or first do a round of roommates. Really, it seems terribly awkward to me. Conversely, I also don't like sleeping with men who have roommates. If there's a point where it's clear that 'sleeping' together is going to happen, I always ask about his living situation. If there are roommates involved, the party continues at my place and not his., Throwing dinner parties.
When I feel like inviting people over for dinner, I can just do that. I don't have to consult first whether I can have "the dining table" on such and such an evening. God, I find that such a hassle. Or when you go out to eat with a friend because you need to catch up, but then halfway through the evening someone else joins because they just live there. It can be very cozy, of course, but also very annoying.
Borrowing clothes.
Yes, okay, I don't have a second and third wardrobe available, but on the other hand, there's no one messing with my stuff. Because I really don't like that. I'm quite protective of the expensive pieces in my closet and find it a dreadful idea that someone would wear my beautiful Joseph dress to some fraternity gala and then definitely
get stains from drinks and bodily fluids on it. Look, if you really want to borrow something, you can always ask, but I don't lend out expensive things, and without roommates, you can be sure that doesn't happen either. No cleaning schedule.
Maybe the greatest benefit of all. If you feel like leaving the dishes for three days or four weeks, you just do it. That you're then sitting in the fruit flies and stink is your own problem, but at least there's no one who will complain that you're not keeping up with your chores. Your own boss in your own house. Wonderful.
