Lenni grows up!

So I just signed a lease on a one bedroom in which I will live all by my lonesome. and although I'm a little concerned that it might take even longer to discover my body if I die I am mostly thinking of all the wonderful things that living alone provides:
  • working out in the living room without my roommates watching
  • having a big worm (compost) bin without grossing out my roommates
  • closet space! mine! all mine!
  • refrigerator space
  • peeing with the door open
  • sleeping with the door open
  • letting the yellow mellow
  • being able to leave my stuff in the living room or kitchen or anywhere
  • feeling slightly less guilty about not doing my dishes
  • naked time!
  • having all my books in one place
  • sleepovers
  • decorating all living space (including the refrigerator) with MY photos and artwork
I do however have cold flashes when I consider other things about living alone
  • as previously mentioned, longer time needed to discover that I've died (if I happen to die)
  • I have no living room furniture! or appliances!
  • I have to pay the whole utility bill all by my lonesome
  • My spectacular roommate won't be there to buy toilet paper when I forget to...or dish soap, or paper towels, or cleaning supplies
  • No one to help me open hard-to-open jars or reach hard-to-reach shelves
So I suppose if you, loyal reader, have a couch, coffee table, book shelves, armchair, microwave, cleaning supplies, can opener, bottle opener, tool kit, air conditioner, nightstand, tv, dvd player or area rugs you know to whom to donate them.

Me.
