A Vacant Bin

A Vacant Bin
2006.04.13 0:27

My cohabitant sometimes throw away my belongings. She seems to think that some of my possesions are dust. Despite the fact that I have been asking not to throw away anything in my room.
I want ot say to myself in loud voice. 'If you can't give me anything, don't rob anthing of me.'
But the fact is she gives me stability, security and tranquility of my mind. I'm not supposed to say complaint in front of her.
What did she throw away? It's a vacant bin.

Have you ever listened to the music [samthebutcher.com] on my site? I have a song called "Cohabitant". I like it a lot. :)

The term wife is used for a woman that got married to me legally. So even if she doesn't live with me and haven't had sexual relationship with me, that doesn't matter. She keeps on being my wife. The term love or girlfriend is used for a woman who has sexual relationship but doesn't live with me. The term concubine is used for a woman who lives with me and has sexual relationship with me but is not married to me. The term cohabitant means a person that live with me, so cohabitant might be my wife, my mom, my dad, my kid, my servant, my grandma, my grandpa, my grandchild. Sometimes my cohabitant means a dog or a cat that lives with me.
Isn't "cohabitant" a great word?
My cohabitant gives me stability, security, and tranquility, so my cohabitant is a great person, but the word cohabitant itself has nothing to do with the greatness itself.
It was already seven or six years ago that once I lived with a woman who is very rich. I wanted to marry her and proposed her to marry me. She said, 'No, I have no merit to do so.' That's right, it was going to be a misalliance. I might have gotten a great benefit, but she would have lost many things. So for two full years, I was a sex slave, but it was a really rejoicing experience though. I admit though almost all women hope marriage. I feel remorse in my situation.
As to your song. I have just heard your song. It was a great song, you should have written the title of the comment as 'Isn't "cohabitant" a great song?' I didn't have to write such a long reply.

I like words. I like the sound and meaning of some words. I wrote the song, I don't feel qualified to say if it's "great" or not.
By "great", I meant that I really like the word "cohabitant", not that cohabitants are great. They can be. But that's not really my point. :)
I'm glad you at least liked the song. :)

Oh, I see. You like the word 'cohabitant'. It is rare for us to have a liking for some particular word unless we have some association with the word. I used to live together with very strange people, the word is associated with good and bad memory. We had often had quarel with one another when I lived with someone. This time rather belongs to rarity.
I must admit though that I am always a very analytical person as such. I think much more than ordinary people. But believe me I am also a very sensitive person. Sensitive here means showing great appetite in art. So when I found your name in my friend's list in devianArt, I felt greeat pleasure. (Though still I don't know how to befriend you.)
By the way, do you smoke, especially when you compose the song? Although this is merely from my impression.
By "great", I meant that I really like the word "cohabitant", not that cohabitants are great.
I like the word 'debauchery', but I never flirt with someone when I am in love, so I know what you mean.

I suppose I see your point. I have bad associations with the word "roommate". I had several "roommates" in college that I had disagreements with, as you say "quarrel". We don't really call them "cohabitants", although that's what they are.
On deviantArt, you add them to your deviantWatch list. When you go to someone's profile, on the bottom of the first main box, there's an icon on the far right of icons on the bottom...it looks like a person with a "+" sign by it. You can choose from the next screen what of them you want to watch - journals, "deviations", scraps, etc.
Do I smoke? As in cigarettes? No...My parents do. My sister does. I do not. I have a cigar [pipesandcigars.com] occasionally. Not usually when I compose/write music. I might have a drink or two, though. Wine usually anymore, but I like beer.
I agree, "debauchery" is also a great word. :)

My wife always wants to throw away a lot of my stuff. "Garbage" she calls it.Hrumph!I don't complain about how many shoes she has, no matter how much I'd like to throw away most of them (and she'd probably never notice...).But them sometimes I realize how emphereal it all is and how none of it is going to matter in the long run.*sigh*

I am amazed to hear this. I cannot get my wife to throw away a used q-tip, let alone anything that _might_ potentially be used one day. "We can repair that. I'll darn those. We might need that staple." I am amazed to hear that.

Well, some stuff like an 8 year old computer she thinks is still useful (it could be as a router or some such, but she's talking about as a computer for primary use), but stuff like books and games she wants to toss.

You're lucky. I suggested throwing away a book once after the ferrets annihilated the spine, and you would have thought I pawned her engagement ring. And mind you, this book from free from a library giving away books.

I know your wife and you are one of the best couples ever. In a sense I've been seeking for my better-half in my entire life chasing a shadow of my past woman. The day is yet to come.
