you skipped a step
I mistakenly grew up out of order- I skipped over the whole live-on-your-own thing before moving in with your special somebody. I went from dorms, to a roommate to roommates and Paul-- and now I'm completely on my own. It's weird for me because up until now, I hadn't lived anywhere without someone else, boyfriend or not.
Boyfriend aside, what I miss most from this move is the people. I know I wasn't always the most social, and spent a lot of time at home anyways-- baking, gaming or just being lazy-- but I always knew there were people there. And that's an odd feeling knowing you couldn't just pop over and say hello if you felt like it. Chatting on AIM is not quite the same as enjoying a lazy afternoon with a good friend.
