Roommates

I have found that I am a little annoyed by the fact that I might soon have to share my apartment with someone else. I had a very nice girl come over and check out the apartment last night. I see that we could get along well. Yet over the last week I have grown to love being alone in the apartment. I love cooking and cleaning and decorating, and being away from people.

I think that cause of all of this is that I grew up in a small house with lots of people (six of us) and dogs, cats, and other animals. And although, thankfully I had my own room in high school, it was still inside the crazy house. Then during college I shared a room always with at least one other person (thankfully minus one, I had great roommates). And even though I have shared this apartment up to a week ago with two amazing friends, there really is nothing like your own place.

And of course what got me thinking about all of this is the fact that I find out today if the girl who came and looked at the place last night, is going to move in. I spent a ton of time yesterday cleaning and decorating and moving things around. My room is still a little haphazard, although cleaner then it was last night. The good thing about the possible new roommate is that she is also into theatre, which means the apartment stays full of artists, and she had family within a couple of blocks. Still change is hard, and since I can't pay for the whole apartment by myself, its coming no matter what.
