First Post In Forever...Chronicles of living alone

Ah, it's been awhile. Almost a year, actually. As of August 1, I live alone for the first time in my entire life. I had a huge family growing up, and have had at least one, but usually more, roommates since I left for college in '98. So, this should be an interesting experiment. I'll get into everything that's gone on since last November in a later post, but I decided not to pick up anymore roommates. I just turned 27 on Thursday, and they say everybody should live alone at some point in their life. I'm realizing it makes me weird...I talk to the TV more, and my dog Onyx gets talked to non-stop. I think she's trying to figure out how to communicate "Shut the fuck up" in dog-speak. I'm also more liberal with smoking in the house with no roommates; ironic, since I was always the hard-ass when it came to that.

Anyway, there's my first post. More to come...
