Living On My Own
(Bee-doe-day-up-bee-doe-day-up-I don't have no time for no monkey business)
I have been thinking about this for a while now due to the fact that I don't really like living with other people at the moment, more so because one of my roomies wrecks my head, and really ever since I have been doing the whole house share thing (6 years) there has always been someone who really gets on my wick.
I want to move out of my house anyway as I feel that I have been here for too long and there is really no reason for me staying as I moved to this house initially because it was 5 minutes from where I worked, but then I haven't worked in that particular establishment for nearly 3 years now, and after January I will have only one South Side friend cause the other three are going travelling etc.
But then I am thinking will I be too lonely? Will I get scared? Because when I am here and I know that I am on my own I do get kind of scared, but then I think that's just because I am used to hearing other people here and then when there is no noise it sort of freaks me out.
To be honest I am just sick of dealing with other peoples shit, I want to have my own space that is not just contained in my bedroom, I want to not come home and not be able to make my dinner because someone else is already doing that, I want to be able to shower when I want and not be worried that the noise of the electric shower will wake someone or piss someone off, I want to be able to not have to clear away someone elses stuff so that I can eat brekki, I want to be able to sit in the living room and watch what I want instead of always the Simpsons because everyone likes the Simpsons, I want to have responsibility for no one apart from me that is. In my house I am responsible for EVERYTHING, urely because I know if I leave it up to someone else it will not get done, the bins will not be left out, plastic will go into the green bin even though there is a sign detailing everything that does not go into it (apparently plastic two litre milk bottles are not real plastic in La La land), I pay the bills, I sort out everything, I sweep the floor, I wash the floor, I wash the unclaimed dishes, I dip the oil tank every week so we dont run out and get an air lock, I call the landlady, I call the police, I am the one they ask how to do things or can I do things, and I always do it. I am too nice I think.
For the past two weeks I have been conducting an experiment, I have been coming home from work and not interacting with my roomies to see how lonely I get, and so far, not lonely, I have not actually had a visual sighting of ANY of them for two weeks now, and it's fine with me, not lonely, not getting separation anxiety not anything, actually better than before. I can do what I want, I can watch what I want, I can sit here nakey and no one can say anything because my bedroom is mine, and no one can come in, and I think that's what I want my home to be.
Plus, I own all the furniture so it means when I do move out they have nothing which I know will piss off at least one person who I will be happy to piss off (a lot!) heehee!!

You're well able to get yourself an oul' flat of your own, go for it! And you can always ask your big brother (that's me, new reader) to come around bearing tasty treats and DVS's if you're lonely.

I understand what you are saying babs but please don't buy right now if that is what you are contemplating... Or at least, spend some time with us chez le property pin before ya do... Forewarned is forearmed, etc.

No not buying yet, maybe in a year or two, will just be renting I think, I am only thinking about it really for the moment, but it really makes sense to me, as most of my time is spent sitting on Pearse Street having conniptions because of the traffic literally not moving for an hour (tis cool) and I think if I live on the North Side I will not have this problem anymore as no more cross town traffic yah?
