Don't you just love waking up in the morning, to that smell of coffee. You wake up, your eyes filled with morning crust, you log onto your computer, and then it hits you. You ain't in Kansas anymore; your living across town in Munkchin land in your very own apartment, parent free.

Ah, living free, for the first time ever. My first apartment ever. I can have as much sex as I want without fear of parents walking in. I can also get as drunk as I want, and stay out as long as I want. Of course with all these upsides there are many downsides. Like say, bills? Electric*?

Of course all the furniture that I have is used, all the food I don't have is uneaten, and all the alcohol that I've consumed has been, well, very alcoholish**.

Ah, freedom. Yes, sweet freedom. Like an Oompa Loompa free from Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, I have escaped my parents and wondered into Wonder Land. Seeing as how I don't really know when to stop my vodka intake, or rambling on about how great first aparments are, I'll cut myself off here.

So what about your first hole in the wall?

except you often have to clean up after them! One very good peice of advice I once recieved: No matter how many roomates you have, always make sure that one of them is a neat freak.


unfortunatly, that ended up being me :P oops.


roomates are much better multi-player vid-game opponants, though.


congratulations!

Yeah, first apartments are GREAT!! I especially loved the no curfew thing!!!! However, moving back is awful and things seem even worse....it sucks.

yes yes i agree! after living in an apartment, staying with my parents this summer has been brutal. but everyday my mom comes home from work with something new she bought me. she's quite obviously building up my collection of homewares "for when [i](you) get [my](your) own apartment" as she always says. i recently acquired a buttload of stuff from the farberware tent sale. the farberware regional office is on her way home from work. they want me out as much as i want to leave!
i have to hide my alcohol. hide it! this is stupid. i don't even get carded anymore but i have to hide it from my mom or else she thinks i'm an alcoholic.

Pfft..tell me about it. I have to hide my stash......what a drag man...

wOOt! I'm back from vacation.!

And as a matter of fact, I was thinking quite a bit about moving out while there. (My siblings and parents crawl deep into my skin.) Hopefully during the late spring or early summer. Most likely fall...

As to how I'm going to be able to accomplish it all...I have no clue. The only thing I"m sure of is that it's gonna be a slow decision process with consequences I'm excited about.. IE most of the benefits you mentioned up above, counsler

Funny since hiding alcohol ussualy is a sign for alcoholism :D

Thank you all. Thank you. I appreciate your kind words.

I have to hide my alcohol. And Im almost twenty-one. Now I don't have to anymore. I can put rum in my cheerios if I want to.

Yeah, first apartments are GREAT!! I especially loved the no curfew thing!!!! However, moving back is awful and things seem even worse....it sucks.

Nope, never moving back. Never! I'd rather die and go to hell! Well wait, if I do move back I'll die and then go to hell!

My mom got me the one thing that I needed for my apartment, a coffee pot.

haha i know someone who accidentally poured vodka on his cheerios (wasn't looking, grabbed the wrong thing in the fridge) but he was too proud not to eat it.


i don't usually hide my alcohol. but my mom is slightly crazy and she thinks having half a beer once a year is on the road to alcoholism (i kid not). so now that i'm staying with them i have to hide it.

you can walk around making dinner in the nude too
with a drink in your hand and then tell your parents if they phone to ask how you are
yeah great thanks im cooking dinner in the nude
and having a drink
it will almost garantee they will phone first before dropping by unexpectedly :D
get a peep hole for your front door if you dont have one already
and change the locks regardless of what the land agent says

thats a good point about the alcahol thing
it seems that there generation lacked self control
there children have gained a greater amount than they have
unfortunately it has now gone seriousely backwards in the current
younger people 25years and under
oh and some around the age of 30-35 aswell as being the well sold victim to pasions of effects
i.e i was drunk so you can not expect me to be responsible for my actions

groove on :)
