i consider living in a basement one of the few things in my life that i can be comfortable with. i mean what's wrong with not actaully living in a real room? i have no walls or a ceiling; both of which are covered with multiple shelvings. my floor is actually a concrete slab which floods every time it rains. my door is miniature-sized, so as to accomodate tiny folk, and the temperature is an inviting 54 degrees on average. i love this place. yay area!
