Lifestyles of the poor and nameless

I used to watch movies and wonder why single females are always hanging
out somewhere, or inviting strangers into their homes. After one night
in the 1BR, I now understand.

Yes, there's a certain level of liberation to being in your own place.
It's great not to hear your parents squawking at you about what you
could/should be doing and how you need to clean your room, etc. I
haven't had this kind of autonomy since my single dorm room in my last
semester of undergrad. I had forgotten how nice it can be. But, back
then I lived in a hallway with about 20 other undergrads, so it was
never quiet/boring/lonely.

Now, in my newfound space, I find myself eager to have company or go
somewhere. Thank God for cable. lol. I think I will end up spending
lots of time at the gym once I get my membership. In the meantime, I
have lots of movies and maybe even the Bible to keep me company.
