FREEEEDOM!

So for the first time in almost two years I have the house to myself. Robbiee has gone to Niagara Falls for some video game conference thing that I wish I was at. He's gone for five days. The only hook is that I have to look after his evil cats. That's not a big problem (other than the fact that they just drop turds all over the place and the basement smells like hell.) But the BIG news is that I have the house to myself. The first thing I did when I got home yesterday and he wasn't home was TURN OFF THE A/C! He's a spoiled south Windsor kid that needs a/c so long as the temperature is in the double digits. He doesn't pay the bills though. As soon as you're responsible for bills, you become "Dad" where you're concerned about standing in front of the fridge with the door open, or fucking with the thermostat. I already dress like an old man when I go out (What? It's my personal style!) and I'm told that I've got gray coming in my beard so why not start behaving like a crotchety curmudgeon? (I think I've got that down a little bit too.)

I was beautiful last night because I was able to sleep with the A/C off, and my bedroom windows open. I really can't think of anything I enjoy more than hearing the sounds of the street from my nice safe house. I'm hearing the wind rustle the leaves of the tree in the front yard and I LOVE it!

So I don't know what to do with my new-found freedom. It's strange having the house to myself again. It reminds me what I love so much about living on my own. Usually if your mom and dad go away and leave you the house you are thinking "Yes! I can be as loud and messy as I want!" I'm thinking more "Yes! I'll be quiet and clean around here now!" I'm a strange duck.

Now don't get me wrong. I do like having Robbiee around. He's a great guy and despite him sometimes driving me around the bend, I do like having him around. It's just really nice to have the advantages of living alone back, even if only for a while.

I don't know how to properly take advantage of him not being around. Sex in multiple rooms of the house? Strutting around naked? Not worrying about being quiet before he's up in the morning? Who knows??

Well to start of my reign of terror, I'm going to put a load of laundry in, and go clean up after the cats and clean the rest of the house.

Look out for me, world. I'm on fuckin' FIRE!
