I spent the next four months on her couch playing Dragon Quest 7, watching daytime tv, and drinking cheap scotch.


Didn't you feel guilty or ashamed of doing this? Not meaning to offend or anything, I would just feel like a prick if I was relying on someone else to live in that manner.

I am generally too racked with guilt or shame to even consider extended periods of unemployment, simply because I'd be terrified to leave the house if I thought people were talking about my parasitic lifestyle behind my back. Here's to a Catholic education!

that's kind of why i mentioned that housekeeping goes such a long way, especially if you enjoy it and or are good at it. i mean - don't kid yourself into thinking that we all have to work or even that there's any sense in holding one person to the same "standards" as another; if you can stand yourself (and please try) then you're eighty percent of the way there as is.


Well yeah, the main problem here is my perception of myself if I wasn't doing anything productive, rather than the faults of people who are "unproductive". If you can manage to sustain yourself and have a modicum of self-respect then you pretty much don't have to answer to anyone.
