I'm kind of feeling depressed right now. I guess it's the fact that I feel that part of being a man is to have my own home. Not necessarily owning a home but having one. I walked out of my home in July and have been living with friends ever since. They have been great friends for putting up with me and its helped me out in many ways.
The problem is that the owner of the house works in D.C. and only comes home on the weekends about every 3 weeks. So why he is in D.C., I sleep in the master bedroom (only empty bed) but when he is in town I am sleeping on the foldout couch with 5 other adults in the 3 bedroom house. That wasnt so bad but lately it seems that what little pride I have is getting stepped on. Like when Danas mom is sitting 3 feet away smoking and watching TV while I am trying to go to sleep. The TV is no big deal but I dont smoke. I dont care if someone else smokes because I feel that if I dont want to smell it I can go to another room. But when I have to get to bed because I have to get up for work and everyone knows I dont smoke then I think smoking over me is rude. Then while I was out of town I guess it was O.K. to move my personal things around so they could do crafts in my area. So I put my things back where I have them (not like I am a neat freak but I like to have my stuff in its spot) and I came home today and my stuff is moved around again.
I have been thinking that I need to get my own place again but I am just starting to get caught up with my bills. Then last night, a friend of mine called to see if I would be interested in moving into her sons condo. He is having a problem and he has to stay with his mom for a while, so she asked if I wanted to move in to his place now and then pay the January rent of $1000. I thought that it sounded good to me but today she said that they think that he is going to be gone for up to 5 months so they want to know if I want to find a roommate and just take over the condo all together. At this point it sounds like it might be a good idea but I dont have a roommate to split it with. I have a friend that says that she only rents out to men because she doesnt get along with women. I dont know if I should go for the gamble (Vegas, I know) and move in hoping I find someone to rent out the other room or what. Maybe some of you could tell me what you think. I really think I need to do something about moving soon (somewhere).

Dont be too depressed. It is a hard feeling, but trust me once you get your own place you will feel real proud of yourself... it will be refreshing.
