Movin On UP!

When we last left Bunky, he was just getting settled in.  We had decided on a move in date, it was on a weekend.  I was being polite and decided to leave for a few hours so Bunky could move in without someone hovering.  How much stuff could Bunky have?  I was merely offering a room for rent, right?  Sure we're sharing space but my home is fully furnished... Bunky knows this.  As some of you know I'm kind of orderly and like a slightly minimalist lifestyle.  My home is simple and not a lot of clutter.  So I'm home  now and the living room was filled with boxes including Bunky's room.  GOOD GOD was my first thought.  Where is ALL this shite gonna go?  Bad Bunky BAD!  Bunky does love her comics books, DVD's and books (poetry, philosophy and novels) See Bunky does have some cool geeky qualities.  We all love geeks, am I right?  Hell I'm a 'tard.  I'm going off course here.  Basically I had a small anxiety attack and proud of myself, very politely said to Bunky: Bunky (slight elevated tone) not all of this stuff is staying, right?  What you can't fit in your room you're putting in storage, correct?  Cutting to the chase yes, YES Bunky fit most of it in his room.  The room is somewhat organized with different size and shaped bookshelves.  I feel claustrophobic when I pass by and the door is ajar. You look at my room and it's the polar opposite.  Simple bed, night-stand and dresser.  My room is modest, clean, airy and open.  Bunky's room is cluttered, dark and filled with Bunky's personal effects (TV, bookshelves an even an office desk - amazing!)  Sweet Bunky is so happy and feeling free from mama's home.  Yes, Bunky is moving on up and happy as a pig in shite! 

I think we are best described at the Odd Couple.  Oscar Madison and Felix Ungar 1970's version.  But who is Felix and who is Oscar?  My fridge has mostly been stocked with a few condiments, beer, some eggs and cheese not much more than that.  Bunky LOVES a full refrigerator.  Bunky tends to look a bit disheveled most of the time and lumbers.  Bunky has categorized all of the comic books and such.  I'm a sporto and yet hates to be dirty and sweaty. So you see, it's not quite clearly defined as to which character we actually are.

Whewwww I think that's enough for tonight.  I promise you we'll get down to the root cause of why I've started this little blog.  I feel I needed to establish the personalities a bit and the move in  

This little place is not the best place I've ever lived.  Parts of it is cool like my built-in bookshelves in the living room and the hardwood floors. One bookshelf dedicated to books/pictures the other has been set up as a cool schwervy wet-bar.  All in all it's kind of a little shit-hole.  Enter the sweetness and humility that Bunky possesses.  Bunky has said many, many times.  GAWD I love this place, it's one of the best places I've ever lived.  For all the dumb-shit things Bunky has done, all the personal space that has been infringed upon it's all worth it an I am humbled at that point.  There has been a few times where I wanted to punch Bunky right in the throat but Bunky does have a few redeeming qualities.  

So stay tuned, the next installment will be something to do with either food or keys.  God only knows, there have been a few crazy things that have happened within the last 2 short months.

Bunky's Introduction

I'm sure there are many posts about roommate's.  I can well imagine some are rants, some are hilarious and maybe one or two might be written as a story.  Well this is Bunky's story,  that's Bunky the Roommate to you.

Bunky came to me October 1, 2012.  Bunky had been living with her/his mom for quite a long time.  Her/His you ask?  Well Bunky is gender neutral.  Sometimes Bunky might be referred to as "she" or "he" depends on what I'm feeling at the time. Right, now back to the story.  I was feeling financially stressed.  Sure I could pay the bills and rent but not much else to show for.  Bunky was feeling like she needed to spread her wings and see what life would be like beyond mamma's house and so we agreed and my second room turned from potential massage space to Bunky's Room!  Bunky was now renting a room.... A ROOM

I will catch you up in small increments these past two months.  They have been filled with disruptions, sweet times, irritated times, funny and plan old fashioned WTF??!!!

First installment... My bookshelf and personal pictures.  It's my little corner of this cozy flat.  I came home one of those first few days and what did my eyes see but Bunky's pictures mixed in with mine.  I found it odd.  I felt so primal at that point and wanted to pee on everything and mark my territory.  I know, I know not nice I have to learn to share but really, couldn't Bunky find a different place for one's own pictures we aren't dating fer feck sake!

There's plenty more where that came from.  Some are down right funny some are just weird an will make you wanna scratch yer head and say what the FECK but all in all Bunky's heart is in the right place or at least I think so.
