Neglect

Okay, I do neglect this blog. My passivity towards writing is due in part to the fact that growing up I've never put my thoughts to paper.

A fairly vocal person about my thoughts and feelings I find it difficult to find the right words to express how I feel or what I thought about things that have happened to me throughout the day. Introspective - I am not...

I digress...I'm currently debating the conflicts of being a housemate and of being a friend right now. No, it's not a life altering decision, or one that affects too many people but myself and my housemates. This won't wake you up and realize you're living a life that's not your own and you should suddenly go out and revolutionize things.

Both my housemates are gone for the next week. I've cleaned the apartment and patiently taking care of two very fat cats while they're both gone.

While both are gone - one has asked if a male friend can crash in the apartment during the week he's gone. I don't know this person. Truth be told I don't know my housemate very well either.

To be fair, I don't want to have to worry about this person being in my apartment. I don't want to have to clean up after him or just have a complete stranger in the apartment period. It's one thing if the housemate were here while the friend was crashing. It's completely different when I'm the only one home and a stranger is living here.

I agree - the housemate's room is his to do with as he pleases. But the rest of the apartment is shared. That's what you get when you live with housemates. If he lived alone - he can lend his room/apt out to whom he pleases.

Why am I trying to justify my own actions? Because I just feel the need to do so.
