I love going to new places
I love talking to people
I love walking into a clean and orderly room
I love cleaning up a messy room
I love rushing to the bathroom in the middle of the night
I love sweeping floors
I love shopping for interesting stuff (aka: not clothes or boring stuff)
I love walking around the mall
I love comfortable messes
I love taking a walk in the neighborhood and knowing I'm not restricted to a certain route (unlike in my old neighborhood)
Some of these may seem strange, but let me explain:
I can't wait until I get a place of my own, and have all of the added responsibilities like cleaning my place and shopping for what I need, as well as the little surprises that make my life seem so much more real and less robotic, like needing to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
When I lived in my original house, it wasn't the best neighborhood. I wasn't allowed to go anywhere alone and the places I did go to were always the same, and I never got to explore for myself. Now my family and I have lived in our current house for about six years, and I'm finally tasting freedom. To relate it to video games, my life has gone from linear to open-world freedom. I go on walks and bike rides regularly and I change the route every time, and just last year I finally checked out the neighborhood's quarry (which is technically illegal) and just the other week I finally explored it, and damn it now I realize what I was missing out on my whole life. I was always jealous of Calvin from the comic series: "Calvin and Hobbes" for them having that cool woods area they could explore, and now I have that.
I'm pretty sure that all this freedom is helping me in other ways too; at school I'm starting to hang out with a lot more people and really get involved in life. Now I've just gotten a taste of freedom and I can't wait for the life that lies ahead of me, even if my long-time nightmare of becoming a street bum comes true.
Free at last.

Some of those made me laugh :lmao:
But its nice of you to get out once in a while, just put on some suncream and you will be ok ;)
Well I love laughing with mateys and eating things when im quite hungry. I also like playing a MGS game for the first time as it usually gets to me in some way or another.

Sometimes freedom can be a mirage. When I studied up in Laguna Beach, I thought I had freedom, but alas not everything is as it seemed.
When it gets late and your roomate isn't back yet, life gets frustratingly boring.
And when I did get to explore and drive around, all I found where boring stores and malls I could have found back at home.
The only thing I have regretted is not going to the LB beach more often.
When there is nothing to do and you live by yourself, be prepared for some overly depressing boredom and all around loneliness.
Almost every day in Laguna Beach, I found myself thinking of returning back to San Diego where all my friends are.

Depends on your perspective.
I completely and totally wish I could be drunk and alone at the moment.

For me if i'm drunk and alone I go into a state of depression, or I will do random shit like dance to crappy music which totally sucks. But around other people im really happy and talk to anyone even if I dont know them.
