mood: happy (satisfied isn't a mood i don't think).
state of mind: smitten with my kitchen's progress.
tune: random disco, funk, and house - the music i listen to when i'm happy.
it's so easy to tell when i am getting a little panicky. the inner control freak inside comes to the fore, and i must clean and tidy things.
exams are getting closer, and i am starting to stress a little. they say a bit of stress now and then, and the subsequent corticosteroid release that follows, is good for one's health. if nothing else, it is certainly good for my kitchen; the benches are now clean, no dirty dishes in sight, shiny stovetop - salmonella and e. coli didn't even see me comin'! still have a few things to do, and i am having grand visions of procuring a new, convenient-sized bin to help put an end the transient piles of trash that appear here and there.
my poor roomie was admitted to hospital thursday night for an appendectomy. this clears the way for me to clean things without her being around. i can move her shit, and reclaim dishes from her room, all in the name of "just looking out for her when she is ill"... alterior motives ahoy!
gotta go, my bathroom is looking evil.

An opportunist cleaner - sounds a bit like my mum. It's not right, however, I do like a guy who likes to clean and keeps things clean. I just hate it when I've got heaps of assignments to do (like right now) and you've got books and journal articles all over the room!
And the salmonella, e. coli thing was gigglaticious!
hehe, yeah that did sound like i was being a bit of a vindictive cleaner (if such a thing exists). but in all honesty, she's a nice girl, and deserves a helping hand while she's awol. in the interest of sounding more decent, i washed ALL of her dishes too, no matter where they were from.
and you have my sincerest sympathies on the assignments thing.
Want to clean up all the cans of V, Red Bull, Sprite Recharge and Ice Tea bottles on my desk? Combine them with Panadeine Forte and other medication and I'm totally off my tits! I've got 5 bottles of ice tea, and 8 cans of the guarana stuff. I should measure my heart rate... I've never drank so much crap in my whole life. I've only ever drank V and Recharge once before the past two days. I usually drink Ice Tea but I asked my sister to buy me a sixpack of them... I gave her one for her efforts. Hopefully after tomorrow my room will be clean and clear just like Clearisil (or is it Neutrogena?).
I reckon you'd be an awesome housemate. I can remember when I sharehoused with these people and they seldom cleaned after themselves unless I was totally pissed off! I usually had to clean up after them. Also, I hope you have your own toilet/bathroom because I cannot stand using a grubby toilet or shower. If I walk into one I gag. Cheers and beers for clean people! (NB: I don't drink beer)
yes, thank the heavens, i have an ensuite. i would almost categorically refuse to rent a place if it involved sharing a bathroom with a young lady (no offence girls!) and guys really aren't often that much better.
cheers and beers for ensuites! (nb: i love beer, and wine, and liquers, and spirits, and...)
oh J ... remember how u cleaned my crib? i was thiiiiiiiiis close to marryin ya, now if u were wearin a french maid outfit, it would have been game-set-match!
ooooi, are we gonna be living in the street in sydney? and if so, do i need to pack my own trolley or does the city of sydney provide one for all its derelicts?
you mean that was all it would have taken. remind me to pack one next time. that aside, i am sure it would accentuate my shoulder definition.
and btw, i found you a nice dumpster in an alley in sydney. you should feel right at home, especially given the close proximity of not one, but two fried chicken outlets. i believe kennedy fried chicken is opening an outlet nearby soon too!
nah, seriously, it's all sorted. i got yo back baby O!
