living space advice.

i've asked a couple of friends their opinions about this, i thought i might as well put it out for greater public consumption.

in may i moved to a new apartment. I've talked about it before, but as a recap: apartment is connected to a house where the landlord and landlady live, Danny and Caylie, a couple in their mid-20s or so. They are huge

Friends stay friends when you can miss them a little bit. Or, "good fences make good neighbors."

When you have roommates, you always have to be on good behavior. I have a feeling your worst behavior is still very good behavior, but still, sometimes you just wanna fart or walk around in your underwear or have non-silent sex.

Also: When you have a roommate (let alone two), there's rarely silence. I need quiet. Or... I want to make noise (or listen to music) without worrying if it's interrupting two other people.

That's just me.

that's my instinct in many many ways.

but still, it might not be as bad as i think it would be. trying to keep an open mind about it since i have time to think about it.

If I was you, I would prefer to have my own space and to join in with them when you feel like it rather than because you have to. Though saving money is good, it may be best for your cat.

mallory is a huge influencer here for sure. although even if she wasn't, the privacy of my own space is still pretty considerable. i'm leaning that way, but i don't want to or need to make a hasty decision. :)
