bartending on the freeway
A few things you can do when you have the whole apartment to yourself- Blast music you guess may not go down well with your roomie. You whisper Love Psychedelico, Scissor Sisters, Athlete and live selections from Tori's Piano Bar.
- Crank up food concoctions with strong smells (like kimchi, apple-cinnamon bread pudding, french onion soup and anything to do with fish) which soak into the air in the apartment.
- Chat endlessly and loudly on the phone about ridiculous stuff like botched cosmetic surgeries, cravings for M&S choc chip cookies and how if you pad yourself with lotsa layers of clothing you'll feel no warmer than if you dressed more frugally if you get what I mean.
- Guffaw in a most unfeminine manner as you watch stuff on the computer or the telly. They were screening The Iron Chef, Yakitate! Japan, FMP Fumoffu, aussie football and well, the daily Aussie late nite news.
- Burst the fridge with your own yummies - brie, choc soymilk, celery, meatballs and leftovers of the strong-smelling concoctions you whipped up, amongst a selection of others.
- Jump up and down, jog from one end to another, flail your arms as you attempt to keep yourself warm without having to switch on the heater.
- Conscientiously try to keep the apartment tidy because you know that if it gets icky, the only one to blame is you.
- Enjoy peaceful slumber free of any inconsiderate or unintentional interruptions.
I am loving it, if it has only been for a day so far, and when the fears of loneliness have yet to start kicking in.
