steve: get a sharehouse somewhere good, dont live alone. live with at elast 2 more people, so taht you can get to know their friedns, tehir friends frieds, etc
living in teh burbs is fine and good but if youre a socially isolated person who doesnt get people back home easily, its not useful. far better is a small share apartment within walking distance to teh party strip, or college bars - then you do something called "predrinks at my house" or "afterparty at my house"
also the second comment was in response to jh1
near the city is what i was thinking too. near all the action! I guess I'll just have to deal with the higher crime rate, lol.
what about roomates who make a mess of the place, play their music super loud, invite annoying ppl over, who pester me about stuff, keep me awake at night, leave junkfood out and tell me i should eat it, leave dishes in the sink, messes in the kitchen, a nasty bathroom with pubes all over the toilet.
i dunno, i dont think ive ever met a roomate that didnt come with their share of annoyances, and ive had probably around 10 roomates over my 4 years in college.
at the minimum i would need to have some specific people in mind that i enjoy, to be my roomates with me.
and in some ways i feel like itd be easier to have girls over if i didnt have roomates.
if im social enough, why should it matter whether i live with roomates or not? you can have predrinks and afterparties with friends too, just invite them over!

living near some good buddies (like if they lived nextdoor) would be cooler. but when u start sharing the same living space 24/7, that can be problematic, unless you find someone who is very compatible with you.

But youve already taken a break before. When you were foxgel, when you were evansteve, and now when you are healother. I dont see it changing much unless you actually do something in the interim like move out of your folks place, that is the first step. All other things are secondary.
right now im slowly increasing my cash pot. if i moved out that money might dwindle away quicker on rent, and other things (my cell phone bill and my gym membership which are currently on family plan, and the food my parents currently buy me).
i want to eventually save up and buy a house. I mean buy it outright, I dont believe in being in debt.
so if I can move out, and still make my cashpile grow, i'll do that, but i might need a higher paying job first.
