True or false: It’s better to be psycho for houses or psycho for love?

This May the entire Lifestyles Channel is doing a month long theme event called “Three Doors Down.” The idea; sort of a meet & greet (and introduction) deal among blogs in our b5media channel.

I’ll be introducing you to one new blog a week here at Offbeat. Each of the blogs is one of my neighboring blogs – from three blogs down of course. Fittingly, I decided to give each of my neighbor blogs a house that’s appropriate for their blog.

This week, I’m kicking off the event with Psycho for Love. Not a blog I read normally, because frankly, to answer the question posed in my post title, I think it’s better to be psycho for houses, or any structure really, than love. Why? Well…

So not into stalker people – however stalking homes is a fun pastime activity.
We could flip the question as well. Even psycho homes themselves are better than psycho people. A psycho house will do no harm; a psycho person just might, in fact, they probably will. Even if you’re dealing in truly psycho homes; think Amityville, really what’s the house gonna do that I can’t solve with a match and some lighting fluid? I can take a house.
Me being overly amused with all things structural gives me a nice topic to discuss at parties and other events. The psycho for love individual cannot bring up their issues at a get-together, not if they don’t want to raise a few eyebrows.
Seriously, when have you ever seen a psycho home lover arrested for some MySpace crime? Oh, what’s that, you haven’t. That’s right, I’m practically 99.8% less likely to end up in jail than a psycho for love person.

Best answer: True; it’s so much better to be psycho for houses.

Disagree? Then you might like Psycho for Love , a blog blogged by Trench, a blogger I like actually (i.e. not psycho). Topics covered include things like:

I know; wrap your brain around this blog, right.

In any case I have a nice house in mind for Trench. I can’t remember if I’ve shown this house at Offbeat before or not, but I’ve been psycho for it, for a good long while. It’s one of the weirdest I’ve seen, plus a wee bit incognito, thus fitting.
