Open Post: Hosted By A 78-Square-Foot Apartment
If you don't have 7 minutes to watch this architect give a tour of his 78-square-foot live/work space in Midtown Manhattan, then just eat a bowl of microwaved eggs under a twin bed to get the same effect.
Okay, when you move to NYC, you know that you're most likely going to live in an apartment that is smaller than Parasite Hilton's snatch (and has more bugs too). But this dude is going beyond! Dude pays $800 a month to live in a giant coffin that has no kitchen AND his ass has to share a bathroom with the other apartments on his floor. David Blaine couldn't sit in that apartment for longer than a few hours without an assistant feeding him ice chips through a door slot.
Even though this apartment is just as big as the refrigerator Cherie's stupid got stuck in during that very special episode of Punky Brewster, it's not the size that bothers me. Call me a spoiled bitch, but I'm way too old to be smelling someone else's shit fumes while I'm getting a glass of water from the shared bathroom sink.

Is he on welfare? What the ?? Did he say he pays $50.00?

hahaha That'd be rich! People on Section 8 live in *better* buildings than me and probably you. AND because they're so appreciative of these conditions, they manage to put holes through walls, blow up sinks and knock out entire plaques of sheetrock, doors and windows, only for the state to rebuild it all up and pretty again at the end of the year.
This guy is a tax-payer, of course. Welcome to America.

@Hoof Arted
Obviously what you're going through is too serious and complex for free fix-advice, no matter how heartfelt or well-founded in personal experience. You probably know by now that you need professional guidance to rid yourself of all that is tormenting you (and maybe a good divorce lawyer?). But besides the troubled version of you, there is also the smart-ass Hoofy. The first persona may sometimes take her fellow dlisted members on an emotional roller coaster ride, the second one keeps them guessing and coming back for more. Therefore, I, for one, would miss you when you're gone. And in light of your agoraphobia, I wonder if it's wise to give up a working and functional connexion - virtual or not - to the outside world when you are feeling this low. I come from a long line of crazy and more than anything or anyone before has ever could, dlisted is helping me to come to terms with that. Because underneath all the wittiness and snipiness lay the souls of living breathing human beings, some of whom have faced or are still facing complex challenges and still they manage to come up on top (undinespragg!). In this era of selfishness, where else would you find such inspiration and solace?

Well, so much for my carefully prepared "get-thee-to-a-borderline-specialist" speech. No good deed goes unfuck-youed.
*crumples up notebook paper and tosses it in Dlisted Dumpster**
fuck deficient and loving it.
I believe this is what is known on Regretsy as a "flounce." I amend that to "Flounce: Suicide Edition".
To those who try to guilt trip people who make less-than-favorable comments to them on a certain site by saying things like "The internet is my only escape!" I say, there are countless numbers of forums and not returning to one of those--not feeling welcome/fitting in at one site--does not mean you have no other place to go on the internet to vent your frustrations.
I post on about 3 other sites, though Dlisted is the site where I feel like I don't have to worry about people judging me for admitting all the stupid shit I do.
Again, I will say that I also have suicidal thoughts about half the time, so I feel justified in calling people out on the subject.
I also spent years with an abusive husband because he was my soul means of financial and emotional support. I was worried about things like medical insurance and how it would affect our daughter--also, it just seemed easier. Eventually I woke up and figured out that if I found out I did have a terminal illness I sure as fuck wouldn't spend my last days with him just for medical insurance. Now my life is pretty much up in the air and I have no job, but we are signing the divorce papers in a few days anyway. It's worth the risk IMO. No matter how much of a loser you are, you don't have to spend your last days on earth with an asshole.
But, I'm not worried about Hoof Arted because as long as we are talking about her she'll keep coming back to read the posts and won't kill herself! (I would.)
I'm not cool enough for the forums either, but have no idea if I would even like them as I've never been in there.
In other news aside from flouncing drama, I will be drowning my problems in booze tonight after I spend a couple of hours working on the details of the custody agreement with my soon-to-be ex. Luckily we are doing it in a public place so we can avoid a screaming match (I hope.) It fucking sucks, but soon I will be free!

You're only bisexual if someone rams a bottle of water up your ass and you cum. FACT.
Hoofy/Angela -- oh, god, I'm sorry to hear you won't be coming back. Please re-think your position about coming back. Yeah, a few people gave you shit, but a lot of us are truly concerned about you. You are not a fuck up; you've just had a lot of bad shit happen to you in your life. I wish you all the luck in the world, but please come back. For example, a couple of weeks ago, some of us were talking about bipolar disorder, which I have. One person had the nerve to come out and say I was making an armchair diagnosis. My dlisted loves came to my defense and told that person that that wasn't for him/her to say. Please take care. NEVER put off going to the ER, regardless of whether or not you can afford it. Go, get the help, and when it comes to the bill, tell them you'll have to pay them back a little bit at a time -- they will work with you. I also hate to tell you this, but I'm really beginning to hate your husband. He obviously knows you're troubled but won't respond to pleas for help? I hate to see you depend so much on one jerk. But remember, you have a kid, so live for him/her please, okay?
Love, Twat
I'm an idiot/jerk/asshole etc. ad infinitum.
I apologize for my stupid, desperado shit I posted here but I was truly freaking out and I can't afford another fucking ER bill IN THIS ECONOMY. lol
My husband showed up at 9pm-ish and didn't even respond to my desperate text messages. So much for 'love' in the rinse cycle after 25 years of being together. YAY.
I suck at life.
This is my last message on dlisted. Even though Michael K. has been a sweetheart to me, I realize I'm not wanted here by a majority of you here and I can't fight that any longer.
Many of you have harassed Michael K. about getting rid of me.
Well, guess what? You WIN.
I was never 'mouse' [if said 'mouse' person EVER existed], I was just one fucked up individual who gets out of her house barely twice a month at best [agoraphobia].
The INTERNET gave me the ability to reach out and communicate where I otherwise couldn't.
Am I a fucked up loser POS? You betchya.
I depend on my abusive husband because I really can't function alone and he knows that and he is all I have.
HE IS ALL I HAVE.
So, kiss your babies...love your GOOD parents and be glad you aren't the fuck up that I am.
I wish you all peace and love and health.
I'm so sorry, Michael K.
For everything.
Really.
Love you...

As anybody seen the fuckery that is Dance Moms?
__________________________________
I watched the first two episodes and then I couldn't anymore...I could complain about so many things with that show (even though I may not have a right to). The dance instructor "Abby" (Abbey?) seems like such a bitter bitch who is taking out her personal issues (weight, failed dancer) on the girls. The moms were kind of scary as well.

I can't sleep either. It's after 2AM here and I'm not even drunk. There is no booze in my house! I've decided I'm too lazy to be an alcoholic. Liquor stores always close early and aren't open on Sunday. I can't get the motivation to stock up on liquor during business hours.
Here is what I am doing: Watching horrible TV show on Netflix Streaming and using a program that lets you rearrange furniture. I'm moving in 3 weeks and trying to figure out how where I'm putting all my stuff. My life is so fucking lame. If lameness was the criteria for killing oneself, I would be the first to go.
For tonight's TMI, I was watching the latest episode of True Blood online yesterday and it was taking so long to load that I watched porn to kill time. (I mentioned how lame my life was, right?)

If he's a straight guy, he'll probably just have two complete sets of clothing items folded into a drawer. Which goes to prove that women are not supposed to live like that. As for the bikes, most Dutch people have at least one bike for the city and one for touring, so for me, even squeezing them into a toilet size appartment would make perfect sense.
P.S.: Good calling on the w/d versus the diswasher. Just have a man do the dishes for you.
----
It looks like this guy is a bachelor anyway, so how hard could it be to wash dishes for one? (The answer is, it isn't!) Especially considering he doesn't have enough space to store many dishes.
It just seems like he is against excess, so I can't imagine needing two bikes in Seattle.
Well, I'm awake. And a "lady." For some inexplicable reason I am watching the horrible 90's TV show "Sliders." No idea way. It's horrible.
Re: Hoof Arted drama.
I just can't get with it. I am suicidal about 50% of the time and I figure if you're writing out a long ass response like that you aren't killing yourself. Also, to not reply back, I don't buy it. I co-sign the "being played" comment.

Hahaha. Not sure if we've ever spoken to each other directly, but I got a laugh from this.
I have a friend who totally wants to DP at some point. She says it's on her bucket list. As a woman, I don't see the appeal of doing this with two other people. It seems like there would be too much going on and hard to coordinate. Also, I don't get the appeal for macho straight guys. Most of them won't acknowledge how homoerotic it is.
My sentiments exactly, Becky, hency my chickening out (what if someone takes what you write the wrong way?). It's early morning here, and I'm mentally preparing myself for doing my mom's hair and nails. She's up for yet another doctor's appointment in Belgium and she wasn't all that cheerful to begin with (understatement of the year). Fortunately, MK had the usual great stuff lined up. That has a more Zen effect on me than any yoga session could ever have.
How about you? What is/was for dinner today? Your earlier comments made me think that you must be a good cook. In my book, separating egg whites fromt he yolk is for pros only.

I realize Angela (Hoof Arted) has had a troubled past, perhaps some professional attention is required. Self-analysis and natural remedies don't seem to be helping her to reconcile her issues. Or maybe there are just too many issues.
Dunno.
A celebrity gossip website, regardless of the community atmosphere, has inherent limitations and is not going to provide any real answers.
Anyways, how are things with you this evening? :)
Sorry, DP.

That's a phenomenal use of space, but not for the claustrophobics amongst us.

No kidding! I am among the claustrophobics. The thought of ten people in that space freaks me out.
But that guys is a genius. I wouldn't mind visiting or sleeping there occasionally, although that "video area" looks extremely uncomfortable to sit in, especially for a guy that is 6ft2.
I would love to see a video tour of this place, though. Among my questions are: Where does he keep his clothes? What are the dimensions of the "soaking tub"? Why does he have 2 bikes?
Also, I was apartment shopping the other day and saw a w/d combo (not stacking, the washer and the dryer were the same thing). I would give up a dishwasher and go for a w/d if I had to choose.

He's not that inventive. He needs to think UP: shelves, bunk bed, hanging seats...
He also needs to think rationally: For $800, he could rent a room in an OK house in, say, Brooklyn.
Plutonic my arse!
Well, at least his apartment seems to have air conditioning. It's something, I guess.
Just wanna say how lame I think this guy is. "I like it compact!" Ok, I can't even stand to be in my closet for more than a few seconds. I'm just way too claustrophobic for that shit. $800 a month is a damn mortgage on a decent house and this "architect" is a dipshit.
