In 1984 O’Brien didn’t actually release the rats, so if you were willing to extend the same courtesy, I would consider it. However, in all seriousness, it seems like a rather strange condition to put forth for what I’m asking. Do you happen to have a rat cage with two scomaprtments seperated by a door with a release mechanism, with one side shaped like an inside-out fencing mask?

I’m not sure you’d want to. I mean, it would be a week of listening to our neighbour either,
a)play the exact same fucking song on repeat for two fucking hours,
or
b) sing “I wanna rock and roll ALL NIGHT!” really, really, really badly. Repeatedly. For two fucking hours.
Both of which I’m having the honour to experience today.
Breakfast’s at 10, cleared by noon or so. Bloody Marys are on til 3pm if you want them.
You’re on your own for lunch or we can all go out somewhere. There’s some nice restaurants around here. None of that hipster city vibe, no, sir!
Drinks before dinner can start whenever we all get back from lunch, with snacks!
Dinner is whenever, probably between 8pm and 10pm.
Lots of talking at dinner and after, and the first night we all have to trade scary ghost stories.
The other nights you’re here we can go do karaoke with my buddies or go hang out at the neighborhood bar across the street from me. They have good food and are frequented by a lot of old people who are characters and it’s pretty cool.
Crash whenever. I usually go to bed pretty late.
There’s CDs to listen to, lots of different kinds of music, but no fancy sound system. The television works, sort of, but I only really get one station. No DVD player or video games or Xboxes or Wiis; it’s pretty basic around here. Maybe we can go to dinner or a cookout at my friend Maria’s house, there’s always something going on there.
Daytimes you’re on your own or we can go shopping or maybe to a museum.

Just a week or two, tops. I know you don’t really know me, but I’ve been posting here for a while now so I’m not exactly a stranger.
How 'bout it? (the couch would be fine)

It’s April. How are you at spring cleaning?

Could I crash at your place for a while?

Amateur! If you want to be anything other than a wannabe Hippie you have to learn Greek and the names of major universities, and their dorms.
The Irish cousin is coming in a couple weeks to stay for the summer. After that, I might see if I can gouge some republicans for a weeks stay in the musty basement. But hey, it has a king sized bed, a jacuzzi tub, it’s own bathroom, the beer fridge, and a sump pump that goes off all hours of the day and night. What’s not to like?
The couch is currently taken, but I have a lovely little room that can be reached through the upstairs linen closet. We call it the bat room. There’s also, disturbingly, a few abused Barbie dolls left from the previous owners.
Man! Your old lady’s gonna break a foot off in your ass! You better be watchin’ them kids too. You remember the shit you got into when you was a kid? Same shit,different day.
