one more thing that is a serious downside of my house...we have virtually no plug-in's, and if you use an octopus or plug too many things in at one time, the breaker blows. no big deal except that the switchboards are not in our apartment...so if the breaker gets blown upstairs (i did this last week running my crab light, lamp, mini-fridge and laptop), you have to go to the upstairs apartment, pray they are home, and flip the switch, or else you're left sitting in darkness. if you blow the breaker downstairs (i just, just did this using the kettle and toaster oven), you have to go to the downstairs apartment and hope he is home, or else the power to the fridge is off. he is not home this morning, so none of our plug-in's in the kitchen work, and we need to keep our fridge shut until he returns, haha. i really like this place, but mannn...i CAN NOT WAIT to have a place where i don't accept shit like this as a fact of life. i don't want to accept moldy ceilings, constantly running toilets and leaky taps, floods, broken doors and windows, scary neighbours, etc.
on a bright note, i can add some things to my list of things i love. one of them is peeking out from under blankets with a room full of terrified people, watching horror movies (and then watching happy movies after, so we can all get to sleep). another is last night's taco night. i remember when i lived on champlain, we would often have family taco night, and it was always tasty bonding time. lastly, i love saturday and sunday mornings when we gather after our respective adventures, tell stories and try to piece together our evenings, while nursing our hangovers.
for the good and the bad, i think this phase of my life right now just epitomizes what it's like to be a twenty-something, just trying to get by. blown breakers and leaky pipes suck...but i know this is an era of my life that i will miss. i have absolutely no regrets about taking a year off school in order to do this before i buckle down and commit myself to some form of 'real life'...although the older i get, i'm starting to think that it's all relative. i'm pretty sure, i'll be spending most of my 30's and 40's and so on, talking about when 'real life' begins. i'm pretty sure it's already happening. i'm pretty sure it's happening all of the time. i like that :)
