@Booderdooder: Oh no, I feel you on that one. I also was recently uprooted but thankfully didn't have to relocate very far. While I don't abhor the idea of having roommates, I want to do so on my own terms. I want to be sure I can afford to live in a place on my own should anything not go according to plan. But having someone to get rid of dead bugs for me and feed my cats when I go out of town is a very appealing scenario.

@Booderdooder: We (my boyfriend and I) had bought a house together but we weren't really aware of all the things to look for. Things that SHOULD have been caught on the inspection but, us being first time home buyers with little to no experience in home buying, went with the inspector the realtor recommended to us. Don't do that. They're trying to sell the house. You want someone who is going to point out every flaw. So anyway we ended up having to replace and remodel a lot. It was pretty exhausting and very expensive.

And yeah, the roommates and their responsibility level can make a big difference. If they're not cleaning up after themselves it turns into a pig sty very quickly.

@booderdooder: You got me there. I was previously living with my boyfriend at the time. I am currently living with my parents until I figure out what I want to do next. I'm fairly certain I could live on my own renting an apartment, but there is safety in having a roommate you can trust. That being said I'm also looking into home ownership again because my first go around was a disaster. You're right to be wary. There's a lot to consider.

@Booderdooder: Ah, same then. I also waffle over indecision. Even though I've been independent for SOME TIME now, and have learned how to do many things, I still just... procrastinate. I guess it's just a hard habit to break.

Taxes aren't too bad if you just have wages. It only gets complex when you have to start figuring in big life events, large purchases, you are self employed, or if you just make a lot of money.

@booderdooder: IDK why our generation is so bad at this. Anxiety, disassociation, and executive dysfunction are at all time highs. Sadly the pills only help, they're not a guarantee. More of a support.

Congratulations! I hope you have many happy years together. I think it's smart to take care of the legal stuff first and the expensive ceremony later.

It got quiet in here. XD Oh well. Maybe I'll have time for some pixels today. =3

Hello and welcome! I'm sure you'll have no trouble settling in here.

Ahhhhh! I'm so glad people liked mine as much as I did. Thank you everyone! I really liked Tsun's and Raxton's too, they were super cute.

@Vampiretaco: It's very mild and smooth. Just make sure it's just jasmine and not like... jasmine with green tea or something.

That's... a lot of tea bags lol.

I prefer chamomile with honey or just plain jasmine tea for a peaceful tea.

@Ruby: That's a lot! But they're pretty independent. My boys are very high maintenance. I don't think I could handle many more than I have. Especially if they're as needy as these.

@ruby: Honestly I'd have more if I could. But I realize there's a limit to how many cats I can feasibly handle. u_u

@Anarchist Beauty: These are very cute!
