    Default Living alone - update...

    Remember I posted almost 6 months ago about how I was scared to live alone and all of that?

    WELL -

    Just updating on the fact that I LOVE living alone.

    It gets a bit too quiet sometimes and sometimes I get jealous when I call my friends that have room mates and they are all laughin and cooking together and stuff...

    But...

    My house is ALWAYS CLEAN.

    I come and go as I please.

    No one eats my groceries.

    No one changes my channels when Im watching CNN. (Or...*coughAmericasNextTopModelMarathons*)

    I can have conversations with my cat and no one thinks I'm crazy.

    I can order a pizza, eat the whole thing in front of the tv, and no one calls me a fatass and then scarfs down half of it.

    I can play music really loud while I clean.

    I do the dishes every morning and they are still done when I come home from class.

    When I study in the living room no one bugs me.

    I can sleep in and no one wakes me up.

    I can skip one night of work and no one calls me lazy jealously because they had to work that night.

    I can fall asleep naked on the living room rug watching lifetime movies and no one walks in at 8 am and screams.

    I LOVE IT!

    The only thing is when the power goes out or theres commotion outside or I get a random four in the morning craving for tacos or am upset I have to be alone. But I do have a best friend that lives across the street thats always up for coffee at the little cafe by us.

    Yay.

    I was a little scared about being a young girl, and a stripper, and living alone...but the complex I live in is almost entirely 35 and up Indian people that work at a big business nearby, except for a really really sweet hispanic family who live underneath me that every once in a while the mom or the dad will come knock on my door to check on me because when I moved in they were worried bout me living alone so they bring me whatever they made for dinner that day sometimes or the dad comes and fixes my balcony door when it sticks or whatever I need.

    Anyway. Just updating.

    Congrats!

    And I agree... living alone kicks ass! I love it so much I'm afraid I won't ever want a S.O. or hubby living with me ever again! LOL!

    I think its soooo sweet that that family comes and helps you. That is so kind of them.

    My roommate and I sometimes feel all alone in this big bad world, but when nice people come to help us we feel so much better. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, we are so grateful.

    Id never lived alone until my hubbie took this job working away.

    Its great to know that the place will be as I left it (We ended up kicking his deadbeat brother out) and I dont worry about nice meals and loads of dishes each day. Its heaps less work on my own, but I DO love it when hes home
    Theres no sense crying over every mistake,
    you just keep on trying till you run out of cake

    Enjoy living alone while it lasts, there will always be a tiny small part of me that misses it.

    Ummmm. Okay.

    Just teasing! I have an extended conversation with my female cat every single morning. It's a ritual. She jumps on the bed, looks up at me, and waits until I ask, "Who's beautiful?" She meows. She won't talk again until I ask that question again. If I ask if she's hungry--silence. Her dog-like brother has no interest in these games whatsoever, by the way.

    Next year I am getting my own place for sure. No more Residence, crappy small bed, and horrible food. I wish I could move out tomorrow!

    You are sweet and adorable and I am very happy that you are happy, Miss Shell.
    Drought was over. Where was I? Drinks were on the house.
    For mixers, my love, you'd poured--what?--even the rain.

    Hmm... I'm stuck with having a roommate since I can't afford to live in a 3 bedroom townhouse all by myself. I can afford 2 bedrooms not three. I would so live by myself if there were pet friendly units with decent backyards and facilities so i could still hula hoop, and do everything else.

    I know I would be okay living alone now since i have my AWL volunteer work to help me socialise outside of work

    Congrats Pooka!!!
