One is human.
My housemate is a college student who will graduate after fall quarter with a BA in art education. She and I have known each other for about 5 years, and this is the first time we will be living together. She is a wondeful friend - like another sister. She comes complete with a cat and a kitten. At present we are also caring for another kitten, so we are surrounded by felines.
My housemate has a plaque hanging in the kitchen - Creative minds are seldom tidy - I hope it is more for humor than excuse. Oh, and she is also a daughter of the landlords...
More later...right now I have to get ready to go to work in the cab.
