TERMITE AND VINE


watch yer step...

MY first proper squat !!

(as in i actually live there and have all my shit there and its not my freinds place and i just took the building instead of having someone let me live there)

termite and vine is a shambling 24 room estate. termites have eaten through half the joists in the front of the house and the floor periodicly gives out. the basement 10 rooms are filled with the remains of a cement contractors equipment, he showed up one day, was mostly unphased that i was living above his storage space, looked at his ruined stuff and never came back. he also told me the owner died 3 years ago and he stopped paying rent on the basement. i now own 3 wheelbarows and a bunch of broken motor bike parts.

9 of my 14 windows are missing so ive been stealing windows off other houses and plastic wrapping everything.

the house is also being destroyed by epicly insane vines that grow through walls and cover the entire leaky roof.

i carried that neo french colonial couch 25 fucking blocks... im keeping it forever.. even if i wind up living on the streets in nunavut.. im gonna bring that couch and my life will still be decadent.

watch yer step...

my kitchen has RATS and MICE.

they are real smart and can get marshmellows out of the rat trap without activating it. i've sworn that if i actually catch the rat i'm going to deep fry him and eat him out of evil vengance, (there will be pics)

watch yer step...

as i said, termite and vine manor has no windows or stable floors, i also cant find the fucking water main cuz its under a mountain of fallen down tree debrise. and my whole block has no electricity.

here is my shitty solar powered system that i stole when i was a disaster volunteer. my 100 watt panel is in a stupid place and im to lazy to climb back up so i can charge a cell phone, run one 40 watt bulb all night, or run a power saw for 20 minutes. on a not cloudy day.

flood alchol. when stores get renovated they just pile this shit on the curb. alot of kids are drinking themselves fucked.

last night at my freind pigs birthday i got real ill of a rancid miller light and barfed pikles for 3 hours.

beers a lil dogey but the wine coolers are fine !!

grain alchol !!! distilled wine !!! thunderbird malt liquor !!!!!



watch yer step...

i'm totally gonna make this old water heater in to a woodstove but its been nice mild just-need-a-hoodie weather so i aint got arround to it yet.


watch yer step...

this room is just called the "no floor room" only two joists are actually outright missing, the rest are mearly termite sabotaged.

if i dont get kicked out of here by summer time i might actually fix this... i could actually loot all the joists i need from one of a half dozen abandoned construction sites...

if i had a fucking car..


i keep saying im gonna get joists in a shopping cart but the nearest site is 14 blocks from me and i dont feel like doing that yet...

i have been stealing windows and doors tho.


watch yer step...

for a month i had kelly the good witch doula lady who likes jam bands living with me. she used to give me zines about menstration and say stuff like "hey! wanna drink tea and talk about feelings?" (serious!) she was fucking awsome...

watch yer step...

this isnt my house... this is a vetranarian place that was boarded up for 23 years before the flood broke the door off the building... those are smelly jars of puppy foetuses and dog hearts. they where leaky so i didnt grab them.. but i did grab a dozen viles of 23 year old dog testosterone !!! who wants one ?? theres pituitary hormone to... these are wearwolf pills!!


watch yer step...

this is where i sleep, like some mentally differently abled animal. i gots sleeping bag stacks and theres paint chips in my bedding and chiken bo sometimes tries to hang out and poop on me while i sleep and theres a hole in the wall where wind comes in and tries to make me cold.

wanna screw ?

did i mention i completely abandoned personal hygine what with the no water or heat thing?

and laundry ? i been wearing the same undies for 15 days.the fucking waistband is starting to rot off.. want a lick ?

and i actually wonder why i got no game.

(i do have the room full of cheap fre alchol!)


watch yer step...

this is in the east wing of T&V manor... its sort of like a kitchenette with half the floor missing. i try not to chuck to much of my trash in to the floor but its hard to resist.

HEY!! I NEED HOUSMATES TO HELP STOP ME FROM SLIDING IN TO UTTER IN HUMAN NON PEOPLE NESS AND DE SOCIAL SKILL APATION. YOU COPULD LIVE IN THIS ROOM !!! FREE RENT AND ALL YOU CAN DRINK !!!

i'm serious.. all of you should move in with me. the trash picking is awsome and its easy to get jobs and i never actually spend money on anything and ill help you put a window in yer room.

i have a few other rooms besides this one, like kellys room has an entire floor and she left some furniture in there too.



i dont even care if your iresponsible... we have no bills and the place is allready ruined.

all i ask is that you dont steal my things, you have to like chiken shit, try not to inevitably ignite this dried out fire trap and you have to take turns with me dumping out the bucket we shit in. (pic of that to come)


i'm serious... your life could be this splendid (please bring me some non packaged food. all theese canned goods are givng me the squirts)
