Wish I could, every good friend I have can't move right now and I decided it was time. I've been wanting to do this since about last July and told my friends and family that if I didn't find someone to move out with by the end of January that I'd move out on my own. I set a deadline and I'm keeping to it, that might turn out to be a stupid thing to do but I've got some money saved up and I'm prepared to get my ass handed to me by this
real world everyone talks about. I've crunched the numbers and I can afford it. It's in a decent area of town and the apartment is about the size I would use. All in all it's nothing special but there's nothing wrong with it which is what I was going for.
Things I intend to use this time exprience for:
-I can now read/watch/play what I want without catching flak.
-I get a certain measure of privacy and silence I've been wanting. My Mom runs a home daycare so there is no end to interuptions.
-Learn to cook. I want to be frugal and relying on my own wits to feed myself will help in this.
-Walk everywhere. I am within walking distance (As defined as 1 mile or less) of a theatre, resturants, laundry, grocery, Comic and Game Shop (I will admit the nearness of this shop was a reason for choosing this place) two coffee shops (Both Starbucks) a bookstore, a mall, and a used game store. I am 4 miles away from work, on good days I fancy I may ride a bike there instead of driving.
