I have asked my wife and will post the novel here when completed. If the Dope has enough disk space. ---

I’m extremely messy, and rather wasteful. And take too long to do most things. ---

I’ve had past roommates, who decided not to be anymore, who’ve said I was too smart and too good at just about everything. Now it’s obvious I have a superior memory and puzzle-solving ability so things just come naturally for me. My family are all very athletic and I am as well so physical things also come easily to me. But I don’t go out of my to show off or be a braggart about it. ---

I don’t talk. My husband is a talker, actually more like a debater, and would like it if I spoke more and gave him a sparring partner. But I’m rather an introvert and hate bickering. So there’s that. ---

I spawn clutter from a myriad of crafty projects that I seldom complete. I love to sing. Especially to make parody versions of other songs. I am not good at the singing part of it. ---

My batshit crazy dog who is 5000000 times crazier and louder when I am home. I have had several professionals tell me that it isn’t my fault, but it doesn’t change the fact that the vocal versions of her craziness only exist when I am home and awake. ---

I live in clutter, due to having too many hobbies and art projects. And I procrastinate about every damn thing. And I sleep whenever I feel like it, which is never enough. And my cats puke everywhere and rub their asses on the carpet. The list goes on and on . . . . I’ve heard all of this from my husband, who is a squeaky-clean, no-clutter minimalist. This is why we live next door to each other. ---

> [@Machine\_Elf](#): > > I snore. > > I fart. A lot. Probably the farts for me too. That and my recent bouts with anxiety, making every morning’s wakeup practically a game of Russian roulette for the poor man. If I had to pick one, farting. ---

I grind to a halt when I fall into the bottom of my bi-polar. It’s happening less and less now, and nowhere near the frequency, but it has to be annoying as all hell to be going along like normal, then I can’t even clean the kitty litter or fold a load of laundry. The manic highs might also bug the devil out of the uninitiated. ---

I’ve been described as “intense” by more than one SO (that i lived with). In the context it was used, it wasn’t a good thing so much. ---

Where to start? I live without human housemates by preference. Cats, dogs, and hamsters are fine, but not human beings. So the worst thing about living with me is that I really don’t want anyone living with me. I am very messy and disorganized. I have sleep apnea, so I probably snore. I keep irregular hours. I can be very grumpy. I fall asleep on the couch when watching TV. I have three cats who aren’t very well behaved. I have a tendency to fix things with duck tape and WD-40.That doesn’t always work. That’s all I can think of at the moment, but I’ll bet former roommates could make a much longer list.
