New Apartment Yay! RIGHT?!?!

Hmm... I live in a 2 bedroom with a friend of mine for......... $460 rent, about $600 after utilities.


Needless to say, its shitty!
 
I just moved into my new apartment a few weeks ago.

I have a roommate, which completely blows. I've never had a roommate before, but I never thought it would suck this much.

Sometimes I want to lay on the couch and just stair at the ceiling. No can do. We've always got to have the TV on or we've always got to be talking about some mindless bullshit. If not, then the apartment is filled with horrendous music. Screw you, I say.

I wish I were still living alone. Oh well, it's only for a year... ...
 
Everyone needs to live alone for at least a year or two, IMO. A nice small 1 bed, 1 bath place is perfect for the first-time-alone folk-easy to clean, and the furniture you have fits in just right-and you don't really need a whole lot of room anyway.

I did that for about a year and a half before my roomate moved in with me, which has worked out well for the better part of 3 years now. I like having a roomate, because it makes cooking crazy stuff more practical (instead of serving a single person), and the extra flexibility in terms of cleaning and amount of money I save is really nice.
 
Im done with roommates. Its more of a personal standard than anything. At 25 I feel a little too old to be doing the roommate thing.

I've known my roomate for well over a decade-hell, we built potato cannons in high school and resold illegal fireworks for videogame cash during summers after I got my car (was turning a 1500% profit on bottlerockets at one point). So that helps-we're perfectly comfortable in not invading each other's space, which is the thing that makes it work.

Definitely a personal choice though. Glad you're happy with the CootCrib-looks like a good place. I will second the suggestion of birdfeeders on the deck, though-one tube feeder a mixed seed and an open-top feeder for oily black sunflower would make a nice addition to your deck in during the daytime, especially if it is in view of the kitchen or eating area.
 
Damn...$700. In NYC, an apartment like that would cost 1200 at least.
 
My rent at the apartment I'll be moving into in Japan is going to be just under $500 a month. That sounds pretty good to me after reading through this thread, but I have no idea how big it is. The last place I stayed at over there was about the size of a closet.

One day when we're married and have youngins, I'm sure we'll be living over in Issaquah and Redmond. For now, I'd rather be surrounded by my fellow ultra-liberal neighbors and be in walking distance of indie record shops and theaters.

Heh, more like yuppie, seeing how I'm a slave to Banana Republic.

Growing up in South King County, I always vowed to never live in Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, etc... Sadly, I know that's where I'll end up one day. Damn woman :)

You still need to meet up with element and myself at a show sometime. That's like the only reason we come into Seattle these days.

New Pornographers on 8/22 or Xiu Xiu 9/20. I'm taking my nephew and my Dad to Arcade Fire. That should be fun.
