  • The more I walk around these streets
    The more they all look this way
    Crooked situations on a different day
    How'd I survive? With friends by my side.


    I want to be alone, but I hate being alone.

    I mean, it's nice to be alone, but living alone and having to be alone the entire time? It sucks. On the other hand, I believe I'm a pretty crappy roommate, so I should be alone. I used to be retardedly clean. Probably verging on OCD. Then I had a filthy roommate or 2 (or 5... or 6...), and I slowly stopped doing all the cleaning. I did my half of it, and the other went undone. I got used to things being dirty. Then I had a roommate who did all the cleaning in exchange for less rent and I got completely out of the habit of cleaning. Now I'm trying to get back into it, but the place is kind of gross. Not as gross as it was a while ago. I'm not going to mention who that roommate was, but I would put on my shoes to go into the bathroom to piss. I don't have to do that now, because I can hit the water in the toilet. It must suck to not have that ability. Well, sucks for anyone living with a person who doesn't posess it, rather.

    So, I lost my train of thought. Oh yeah.

    I don't want to live alone anymore. It sucks to pay all the rent, and it sucks to cook for myself. Then again, no one else would eat top ramen and mac & cheese daily like I end up doing. If I could somehow get a large house with a handful of roommates, I think it'd kick ass to cook dinner, a dinner of real food, and I'd do it on a nearly daily basis if everyone took responsibility for some other chore. You know, even if it was a group of friends next door to each other even. Like on Friends. I've never known the people I live around, other than what they look like really. Kind of sucks. It's probably my fault, but people don't seem to be all that friendly. I was about to say anymore but I'm not sure people were ever that friendly.

    I'm pretty sure I'm just rambling.

    I'm so freaking bored. I don't feel like studying for my Econ final. I will, but I don't want to right now. I want to do something with someone. Even if it was just watch a movie. Something. Damn I'm bored. Everyone I know has a life, or a family, or both. I hate calling people because I think:
    • They would have called me if they wanted to do something
    • They are busy
    • They're doing family things
    • They don't want to hang around me as much as I would hang around them
    I'm sure that makes no sense, and is stupid, and probably a few other things, but that's what goes through my mind as I sit here.

    Bleh.

    I'm so bored I went through my subscriiptions list and removed a few people from it who haven't seemed to update for 2 years or more. There's still some people on there who fall under that category, but they're people who I sort of connected with, and I'd like to meet in person. They are obviously gone, people don't tend to come back to Xanga after a 2 year break, but you never know. Feels so final when I unsuibscribe from someone who's gone, you know? Anyway, over the next few days I'm going to clean it up a bit more to make room for new people to be added.

    Why? Because I have this horrible habit, once I get back into the groove, of feeling the need to go to every site on my list, and I only have so much time. If I subscribed to everyone who subscribed to me, I'd be on here longer than I can afford to be on the internet.

    Yes, indeed, I am rambling. I think I'll go... do dishes or something equally fun. Have a good weekend.

    EDIT: Been working on this site, going to try and update it regularly. Also, I'll be working on the dumb comic one as well. I'll let you all know when I have an update for it.

    I can so relate to all of that. I used to be meticulously clean too but stuff kept happening and all that isn't as important anymore yet the mess is driving me nuts.

    And I want to have people around all the time but then I hate them and want to be alone. Then I hate being alone and want to be around people. Then I hate myself because I'm not the superhero that I'm suppossed to be and can't seem to make my home perfectly clean so I don't want anyone to come here and see how not perfect it is.

    Finding the right balance is tough especially when you have something big (school) to focus most of your time and energy on. Bide your time. You will make it all happen when  you can.

    living alone is the worst thing for me.

    it's one of the biggest factors in me putting up with some of holly's crap

    living alone is tough. i used to think i'd get a flu and die and no one would find me. sorry. that's not helpful is it? i liked having one roomate who was neater and more responsible than i. it was a good balance.



    have a great weekend!

    I look forward to living alone, but I'm in a completely different situation where I've never lived alone.  But, I do get being bored, big time.  The meetup group is helping somewhat with that. .but this morning?  It would just be nice to have someone to talk to while drinking coffee.   Kids aren't good for that.

    Yeah, God and I aren't on speaking terms, and that's the way I like it. And, just so you know, Wal Mart is where people go when they die without Christ.

    Weird, I just tried going to this site like 30 min ago and it told me it no longer existed. Glad it's back!

    And I know what you mean about living alone. Sometimes, I LOVED it. I really had a great ritual for coming home, making dinner, watching television, playing on the computer, etc. I didn't have to answer to anyone. But, sometimes I just felt like I wanted some company, ya know? Someone to talk to besides the cats. =)
  • Texie

    I'd have dinner with you!

    I wouldn't mind being alone though.. as long as I have WoW and my cat....

    Oh god.. I just re-read what I typed above.. and what bothers me most is, it doesn't really bother me. I really HAVE become "that woman". lawl.

    this is the first time in probably ever that I've lived alone.  I don't mind it most of the time, but I do find that it's incredibly frustrating when the television doesn't speak back directly to me and I have to hurl something in its direction.  Also, dinner is pretty much non existent because it's not worth doing dishes over.  I was obsessively clean at one point but now just do what's necessary to make it look nice and healthy.  I'm hoping that in a new place I can start clean and stay clean

    I think having one roomate is the way to go. I had 2 roomates, all of us sharing a bedrooom, and that was hell, so the next year i lived completely alone, which was lonely. Now i have one roomate which is perfect.

    I used to be clean too. Now she doesn't clean so neither do I, because i don't want to clean up her messes. There could be worse problems as far as roomates go
