Good Luck Tanha. I may well be wrong, but I think you will thank your mother for this one day. Nothing will teach you to take care of yourself faster then haveing to.

Moving day complete.
Whole new place is a mess. Nothing organized.
GF will be giving me a desk along with a lamp for my room.
Also found out some "unforseen" things yesterday. For example, Cable is $20/month extra, while I have to set up my own phone line. That'll cost me another $25/month.
Fortunately, I'll have my cellphone with me. Unlimited weeknights and weekends option. Gotta love it.

Oh no. Cable is expensive! The horror. Without cable, you'd be like a poor person, with their pizza's and poor clothes.

Cable is $30-something a month in L.A. My mom doesn't want us to watch too much tv, so we don't have it at home. Of course, we get free cable in university housing.

I think it's around $30/mo. around here. We don't have it 'cause my parents are too cheap to pay for it. Not that it'd be worth it, aside from the Sci-Fi Channel and some of the educational ones...

WHAT? We barely get a reception from terrestrial TV. And we have to buy our own TV licences. And I have to share a shower with about 12 other people. I tell ya, it's a squeeze getting everyone in their at once. And Eric keeps looking at me funny. But so does Sarah. So that's okay.
Our bars quite cheap though. Pity the closest cash machine is 10 minutes walk. Damn those Carnatic boys with their shop and cash machine and sex. Damn them all.

I've been on my own (sorta) for about a year and a half.
I say sorta 'cuz I've got a roomate. But only for six more months, then I get my own nice little one bedroom up yonder in Cockeysville.
So, in the next six months, I have to:
-Save up a security and pet deposit (probably about $700 all together)
-Pay off at least ONE of my credit cards (my goal!)
-Buy a TV ('cuz the one I have now is my roomies)
Course, living on my own won't be much fun either ... I'm not going to have someone to split cable, electric, OR phones with ... but I don't use the phone that much, I'm pretty good with turning off lights and A/C when I'm not around, and cable is a flat rate, so ...
But, hey, it'll be fun. I'm looking forward to moving. My own place, almost done with college ... =)
Then I can go get my law degree in Bahstan (er, that's spelled according to how it is pronounced, BTW)

Your telephone bill isn't a flat rate? Or are you only talking about long-distance?

Stupid non-flat rate BT bastards. *mumble mumble* smother to death *mumble mumble*
BTW Jeff, that pizza and sex thing is one of the worst analogies ever, and not true, unless you've been a very, very lucky boy.

I've never tried it, but I'm told that dialpad.com is a good way to make long-distance calls. Basically, you just hook up a headset to your computer and make your calls for free over the 'net.

So, Tahna, out of curiousity, how is your own place working out for you?
I'm currently trying to figure out how I'm going to cram all my stuff (junk/crap) into my new place.
