Apartment living

Pretty much all of my adult life I have been living in apartments.  I lived in townhomes and apartments with my parents#kidLife until they bought an awesome house...as a kid my mom would always tell me not to run in the house because we had neighbors...not to bang against the wall because we got neighbors. ..not to talk loud because #uGuessedIt we got neighbors...but Mom#iWouldSay they banging on the wall and being loud why can't we?!#outRagedChild no matter where we lived it was always the same...we had to be quiet like lil church mice while the neighbors were crazy loud...that's just how my mom is...lol I still to this day don't know why she made us do that...I'm going to ask her too!!!

My 1st apartment as an adult was a basement apartment aka garden apartment. ..the floors were uneven a mouse ran thru every now and again..the refrigerator door came off and I had a lil space in the pantry for my stuff. ..it was straight boxcar children apartment#ForReal...oh I failed to mentioned I lived there wit an emo ex boyfriend who stashed porn and weed in his closet & cut himself#crazy, mad at the world white girl who had no patience for ANYONE#grumpy,  and happy go lucky rollerblade thru the house white girl#happy...but rent was only $230!!! I was like ima just stay in my room n keep my head down for this price...and it pretty much worked until people started to move out...this apartment was like $900...there's no way I could do that by myself...I had come to love my little hole in the wall apartment...I didn't have the rental history or income to even get a $450 studio. ..at the time I worked at a gas station so I felt I didn't have enough but actually I did...I ate out all the time and my shopping was up there...I took the bus everywhere so car expenses weren't an issue for me...I didn't want to give up my shopping and getting my hair done...but I was kind of excited about these irritants moving out and me getting the big room! So I did what any 18 yr old does#whtsTht? I tried to get my friends to move in with me...I was only able to get my african friend to move in and my current boyfriend #onlyBeenDating4threeMonths to come...we had one room left and with all of us wanting the rent to stay the same we did what all 18 yr olds feel is logical#whtsTht? Put out an ad and have a complete stranger come live with us for the sake of saving money#lol#doUwant2bMurdered?! We placed an ad in the university's wanted ads...it was a university craigslist before Craigslist got big...we had sooooooo many people respond!!! Mainly emos n hippies...there was this really nice flamboyant heavy set guy who came n really loved the place but we didn't feel he was cool enough because we were gonna plan parties and get drunk n we felt he couldn't hang with our potential cooldom...so we went with this condensending hippy white girl with red hair who smoked...maaaaaaannnn every day since the 3rd day of her living there this chick had a complaint or sumthing to say...everyday I contimplated having her jumped then act concerned when she came in beat to crap...I DIDN'T THO.eventho I had the resourses lol..maybe fantasized about it when she would be in her witchin' sessions but never did it...all the tension and this chick smoking in front of my window made me be like you know what I'm miserable here Ima just go back to my parents house and figure it out from there...

SOOOO of course there's the drama/CONFUSION when moving out...we let the red head hippy girl know we were moving out so she got her friends to sublet...we were supposed to move out on my bday which was fine with me....buuuuut my boyfriend at the time had other plans...he couldn't go back to his parents house so he did a sort of stand your ground tactic...he didnt move his stuff out on the day we were supposed to...I get a pissed off call from the girl saying he won't leave and she is going to call the police to have him removed#yadaYadaYada...so I get there and he is pissed off about to fight one of her friends...I calm everything down and take him to the side and basically tell him off...I was able to come to an agreement with the girl to give him a couple days to get his stuff out...after that me and my boyfriend were on our way to the rental office to make sure the sublet actually went thru and we got into a car accident....~theEnd lol he eventually got his stuff and the nightmare of the basement apartment was finally over and I lived back with my parents#lol

The apartment I live in now is in a decent non-student area.  Lots of families live in the area. Nice diverse neighborhood :) quiet#at1st...maaaaaaaannn my building alone had ghetto tendencies. ..I had the lesbian couple in Apt1 who fought EVERY DAY...I was calling the police daily! I thought they were gonna kill each other! Then the lady who lived off her son disability and stayed home all day and blasted her music all night in Apt2...then you have the Apartment manager right across the hall from me in Apt3...this man hates doing any work!!! Have you seen the show Lil Bush? Imagine the Dick Chaney character and that him...always mumbling complaining about tenants..."rah rah rah them Mf's F'd up the lock...how u F up a lock then put electrical tape on it?! Why not buy a new mf'n lock.rah rah rah .".mf this and mf tht...niggas this and niggas that..I swear the way this man carries himself and talks makes you think he was born and raised in a prison#lilBigOG...then my big boned heavy footed neighbor upstairs who would have sex marathons EVERYDAY up to the day she gave birth to her daughter#then all that stopped#naturally...I swear I heard that lil girl get made...I think I remember what the daddy look like lol..between noise of all of them I was going crazy but my rent is reasonable so once AGAIN I endured it...after while the lesbians got kicked out and the moochin lady in apt2 was evicted...there were some people upstairs but they were like me they stayed in they house away from the crazies...

Then something happened....the owner chged...he sent out eviction notices to EVERYBODY...even me who was up to date on rent...the previous owner didn't have accurate records of me paying rent...thank God I paid by my banks bill pay because they were ready to kick me and my son out! I had every payment. ..he was ok with it but then started to turn my apartment into an elderly living place...all of them don't pay rent...its paid by the state...once these old folks moved in...one near death...one druggy...one nice old lady there was a bedbug epidemic! I had to throw out EVERYTHING#FURNITURE...it was devastating. ..they sprayed like 3 times and my husband sprayed 1 more time for good measure...no more bedbugs...but we now didn't have beds or a couch...to me we were squatters and my house didn't have have that home feel that it used to...for the whole summer we had to sleep on air mattresses because were nervous about getting new beds and bedbugs being in there too#paranoyaSetIn...once we got beds the mood in the house changed#Exhale...I'm waiting for tax time to come to get new living room furniture and then I can go back to my home decor...

As much excitement there is living here in an apartment. ..I want a house...I've been on my realtor.com app looking at houses in my area...thats why I'm so for making extra money online because I want that house asap rocky!!!

Well...
