It's not ecologically sensible but I can't share walls with people anymore.
Really I should get to this more. That's how all the posts that are once-annually made here by lapsed livejournalists go. It's true, I don't super need the validation & attention of strangers anymore which is alright, but also limits your utility as a person.
