Is it only me?


I love having people visiting me, especially friends I haven't seen for over a year. And since I'm the perfect housewife of visits, I'm running around crazy trying to give my girl the best of Seoul and Korea (got my monk buddies to take her for a few days to Haeinsa and down South...부럽다). Not an easy thing when you're juggling midterms at the same time.

Be that as it may, as much as I love being the tour guide of the month, I hate having someone staying over at my house. Even for a few hours. A guest puts things away in the wrong spot, makes everything messy and crooked, leaves things lying around (like dirt!). Yep, I'm your Polish version of Anthea Turner. If I don't clean my room COMPLETELY at least once a week I feel guilty to the point of being sick. But what puts me off the most is that when someone comes over, the air changes. I kid you not: every time anyone comes for a visit I can feel the smell changing in my room. Not that my friends smell. I mean they do: differently. And it's something that bothers me in my tiny room. To the point that I ask we got out. Except it's not something I can do with my friend...

Interesting fact: when the photographer came over (to be an abusive but damn hot jerk) the smell stayed the same... And that freaks me out more than my inner Anthea Turner.



PS. Yep, I've got the rubber gloves and everything. I've also got a toothbrush to clean the corners and hard-to-get-spots in the bathroom.

:D this is hilarious! In Germany we would say you're a "putzteufel", but it's rather a good thing than a bad thing.. But what are you going to do when you start to live with someone?? :D
