So I'm sittin' in my room...

It was high time, lovies, and so I've gone and signed up for the Apartment Therapy Home Cure. I didn't expect to feel absurdly frightened, but that's where I find myself. As I posted to their forum: home matters so much to me, and somehow things have gotten woefully out of hand around here... I fear that the only answers I'm going to find will be along the lines of, "YOU HAVE FAILED!" and "YOU NEED A LOT MORE MONEY THAN YOU HAVE!" (which, somewhat coincidentally, is next to none.) In any case, to help get myself over this all-encompassing sense of doom I'm experiencing, I'll be sharing the process with you.

Here, then, are the answers to the quiz.
