On my own

I've recently (ok 3 months) moved to the lovely state of South Carolina.  A few hundred miles from my hometown of Forest, VA.  In the past few months, I've learned what it's REALLY like to live alone, while I do have some great friends down here it's certainly not like Forest where I could call my mom and she'd be over in 10 minutes.  There are good and bad things about truly living alone.  Here's my compilation:

The Good

My room is PINK and GIRLY!  

The few gentlemen that have seen it in passing have all remarked "Now that's pink."  Nobody can tell me I can't decorate the way I want.

If I don't feel like cleaning, I don't have to!  

There is currently the past 2 days of clothes strewn across my living room.  Which bring me to my next point.

No pants!  

This needs no further explanation.

Ice cream at midnight? Yes please!

I've also found an ice cream STORE open until 1am.

My Neibs

Apparently I live in a retirement community.  This is awesome, they love me.  I got fresh baked cookies the other day!  I also get an odd amount of marriage proposals.  They totally have my back though, and when I come in late from work if I pass someone they usually walk me to my door.  

Lookin' Good!

Due to having 3 jobs that all involve me being on my feet, I've lost 2 sizes.  Yes, ladies and gents, I'm back down to the size I was my SOPHOMORE year in High School!!

Abracadabra
I've gotten to spend more time working on my magic- and I'm currently working at the FIRST magic store I went into as a child!  How cool is THAT?

The Bad

Wtf is a Palmetto Bug?

The most disgusting thing known to mankind.  I'm pretty sure they're part demon.  They get in EVERYWHERE.  Now, I've only seen 4 or so...ok, it's a cockroach.  Here's a fun tip: they effing FLY.

Finding new "places"
In Forest I had regular Mexican, Japanese, Italian, and breakfast places I frequented.  So far I just have the breakfast place here.  I'm on the track to finding a Japanese place though!

Slugs are NOT snails
They're different.  Slugs creep in through cracks in your door/wall/sanity and invade your house.  I've had to "relocate" three so far.  Hate these stupid things.




As you can see, the good outweigh the bad.  I adore it here, so if you ever find yourself in Myrtle Beach- give me a call!  Just make sure to bring the salt...
