I wish I lived alone, and I didn't have to deal with roommates! Especially with the trouble I've had in the last two years, and also most recently with being kicked out while in the hospital.
I would love to have a place that I can call my own, and have it my actual sanctuary.
Sadly, where I live renting is very expensive. Calgary just slipped a few dollars under Vancouver for the most expensive place to rent in Canada (We were slightly ahead of Vancouver a bit by a few dollars, becoming the most expensive place to rent, and actually even live 'cause everything costs more out here).
I think the only reason that I still live in this city is friends. Other than that, it's expensive and not worth the money to live here. I don't get why anyone would want to live in this city... most people move here because there's jobs, but end up being more broke in the end 'cause that's how it is in a town like this. It's big, but it's also lame because there's no cool clubs that I like. We only have one Gay club, which is lame, even Edmonton has several gay clubs and it's smaller than Calgary. I've grown to get very annoyed with this city. It's a very apathetic city, that is very conservative
When Bush (after his presidency) came to Canada to visit, he picked Calgary because Calgary is the safest place for him in Canada 'cause the majority here are apathetic, and very conservative and religious. Annoys me.
Blah, anyway, sorry abt the rant. LOL
I have a lot of friends, which are awesome, so I usually don't have much time to myself or to be alone. So, I think it would be cool to have my own place. I just cannot afford it in this city... but it would be cool. That way, I can go out like normal, hang out with friends, and then go home and relax and have a bit of me time and sanctuary away from everything for a little bit. LOL
And believe it or not, I actually have a social calendar. LOL I don't work at the moment, but sometimes (actually, a lot of the times) I feel overwhelmed by ppl asking me to hang out with them, etc. I make friends pretty easily and I end up getting popular -- not 'cause I want to or that I'm seeking that, but it just happens that way. There's a down side to it, although, 'cause I end up with the wrong people easily and people that hurt me. I have a few close friends, and those are the ones I keep close and do things with the most. They are the ones that really care, and the ones that showed up to visit me in the hospital... But, yeah, some nights I'm getting 4 or 5 ppl wanting me to come hang out with them, or go to some concert or club with them, or some party, etc. It gets frustrating. Sometimes I want alone time, and I don't wanna feel bad about having that. I always feel bad when I have to tell people no about going out with them to something. But, it's also overwhelming. A place alone without having to deal with people, and having some me time and alone time -- a place that's mine -- would be awesome.
