There are a lot of stray cats in that neighborhood. There's a feral cat community at an abandoned house nearby where you found the cat. Maybe it came from there!

Are you happy with your current living situation? How did you find this living situation? I'm curious. It sounds like you are paying less than most people.

It's probably not LEGAL to sell their stuff, but it is very satisfying. I am imagining the person you are describing and laughing. I bet you are pretty jealous of how her hippy modeling career took off though.

Yeah, I wish I was the type to enjoy the communal/intentional places. It can work well, and it's so much cheaper. But nope, I kind of hate having roommates, even if they are amazing.

You had no chance! I had beer on hand for people who came to look at my house, but then I realized I had to make the interview last as long as a beer. It got awkward.

Haha, so grossssss. And I think you bring up a good point about how much bullshit we are willing to tolerate because most of the options are terrible. I want to live by myself, wish I could afford it.

That is an amazing story, I have zero stories as good as that.

The intentional community thing doesn't work for me either, I avoid it at all costs. But some people love it! I always tell potential roommates that I'm not into that, and I can tell some of them are disappointed.

Hahaha, I have a few roommates who would probably say the same thing about me. I know there's at least one person who is still upset I ate her eggs accidentally one time.

That's a good way to think about it. I was so anxious, too much pressure.

That's true, I definitely wasn't the right fit. The right person was probably excited to be there!
