Reasons for Living Alone

1) You can watch all the bad television you want without hearing about it from your TV-snob roommate. So what if you are watching a rerun of the Gilmore Girls for the third time?

2) If you stink up the bathroom, you don't have to search for deodorizer spray. Your pets don't care. Plus, if you don't have a male housemate, you don't have to deal with their razor hair being left in the sink.

3) You don't have to wonder if this will be the week they will do their chore without you telling them to. You don't want to be a nag or their mother but you certainly can live without the small clumps of pet hair, like little gerbils in the corner of the room. Ewww. And you won't have to explain why using Windex in leiu of Swiffer cleaner to mop the floor is a bad idea.

4) If you want to sit around in your underwear and eat Cheeze Its all day, you won't get a funny look that says, "You sure are lazy."

5) You won't have to watch your mouth and refrain from saying, "I have PMS. Don't fuck with me." cuz there won't be anyone around to annoy you.

6) If you want to bring someone home, you don't have to first warn them and then, try your best to keep it down. I hate keeping it down. Same goes for crying. You can let it wail.

7) You don't have to share your booze/dinner/ice cream/detergent/toothpaste.

8) If you've looked at porn or the personals, no one will know cuz it is your computer and you are the only one who uses it.

9) You won't have additional housemates (re: their significant other) that you didn't bargain for, particularly on days you don't feel like talking to anyone.

10) You don't have to defend your blogging hobby while comfortably sitting on your couch trying to enjoy a quiet evening at home.
