Technically, no. But I do have a court date next month because a former tenant didn’t pay rent. I want my money, dammit! (\*and I found out he was spending the rent money gambling, so it’s not like he didn’t have it.) Do you like scary movies? ---

Yep… freshman year of college I locked myself in my room with a pile of junk food and a Nintendo 64. ETA: Forgot to ask a question. Have you ever been hospitalized for more than a week? ---

I did in-patient rehab for my alcoholism/addiction, in a setting that was within a hospital – not sure if that counts or not. Have you ever stayed up all night? ---
