on that note i am cleaning out my car for the first time since moving to this apartment (Feb 2009) and i found an entire box of cds and books that I never moved in, and a tupperware full of lunch from ages past

You have a thing you put in your toilet?? Pretty sure that's the opposite of dirt bag!
My toilet bowl is full of black streaks/specks that I think are mildew?? Weirdly enough it's not showing any other signs of erm, use, it's perfectly clean and white otherwise, but the mildew colony is going to be drawing up a Declaration of the Rights of Spores any day now.

PS: people drink chlorinated water all the time from any municipal water supply, so your cat's innards should be at least as safe as yours...?

at any rate, i am keeping the toilet lid shut 24/7 now lest he poison himself. yeah, the toilet bowl drop-in thing was not meant to be dirt bag; as i said, i keep my apartment very clean. all my dirtbaggery is car-related, and a result of pet ownership (stuff like everything i wear being covered in cat hair)

I'm actually pretty neat in my apt. My car is where it all goes to hell sometimes but I'm trying to be better about that.

My cat pukes up hairballs so much that sometimes I can't be bothered to clean them up until they have dried.
― roxymuzak, Tuesday, May 4, 2010 3:12 PM (2 hours ago) Bookmark
oh god i know how that is!
now that my kitty's shedding her winter coat, she's licking up more hair and thus producing more hairballs. yechh.

i should prob start treating my car not like shit, since for the first time in my life i am driving one that was built within a decade of the present
― Matt Daemon (jjjusten), Wednesday, 5 May 2010 19:03 (fourteen years ago) link
of course then i will just replace "dumb garbage in a pile in my car" with "dumb garbage in a pile in my house"
dumb garbage, can't do anything right
I need to donate a shit-ton of clothing to charity so I am forced to do laundry more often than once every 6 weeks.

I have a suitcase and several boxen of stuff for the Salvation Army already packed and ready to go and I CANNOT SEEM TO LEAVE THE HOUSE TO TAKE THEM THERE. Granted I have no car and will have to roll/carry them several city blocks but still.

I have lived in my apartment since April 1 and still do not have a trash can or trash bags. At the moment I have been putting refuse into tiny plastic grocery bags on the floor in the corner of the kitchen. It's disgusting.

I collect my beer empties b/c you get 3kc (about 15 cents) for each bottle you bring to the store and it's only 14kc for a beer. The only problem is that I'm lazy so the bottles collection always gets pretty big before I finally bring it to the store, so usually about half the bottles have horrible smelling mold residue at the bottom when I dump them out into the sink before putting them in a bag.

a friend who's moving away gave me her huge 3-drawer dresser - i have somehow just lived for 8 years using, like, plastic bins and, well, surfaces for non-closet clothes, which caused dirtbag situation. drawers fill up fast tho. why do i have so many stupid socks

i don't really use a dresser either, i will somedayi just dumped out some really really old food from the refrigerator, and i am eating tofu that "expired" a month ago

i was thinking of this thread last nite when i was making myself some delicious mojitoes at my desk. didn't have a knife for the lime so i pierced it once with my keys to extract some juice: i call this "the grunge squeeze".

this thing is due for a revive
i have somehow just lived for 8 years using, like, plastic bins and, well, surfaces for non-closet clothes
I am up to about seven years on this, but my house now has a lot of shelves in the closet I have been using as impromptu drawers
I have wrist braces on both arms (lol broken wrists) so I have been using mostly paper plates and doing a half-assed job of rinsing out glasses. Thinking of switching to red plastic cups that I have a surplus of. Clean laundry sitting in a stack because folding is difficult. Lawn unmowed. I've been using those wet hand wipes they have at bbq joints to wipe off my fingers.
I think I just kicked a couple condom wrappers under my bed instead of picking them up this morning. Kind of scared my stairs have cat hair tumbleweeds. Car smells vaguely of spilled Red Bull.

one of my two cats has an extremely dense coat. If not for the kitty-cat buzz cut, both of our lives would be completely miserable in the dead of summer. He is def willing to forsake fashion for comfort & his coat is pretty much completely back to normal w/in a few months.
