Independence Post

No I'm not bitching about the fact that Fox pre-empted Simpsons to show Independence Day (though I'm not pleased with that, I understand their reasons for doing so). I've been missing my appartment a lot lately. There was just something nice about being able to do what I wanted, when I wanted. I still do what I want when I want most of the time at home but there's a lot less freedom.

If I take an early release at work I can be guaranteed my parents will nag me about it, I am pretty much confined to downstairs after work as my parents room is open thus making trips upstairs difficult at best. It's not just my parents either. Heidi can also be quite a drain at times. I'll be sitting here after work some nights and she'll decide I need to be paying attention to her so you'll scratch my leg until I throw one of her toys. And then about 15 seconds later she'll lose it under the bed and howl till I go and get something to get the toy out with.

I love my parents and I love my dog so it's not like I don't want them around. It's just that it was nice when I had my own space to do my own thing. Now I'm pretty much anytime I'm home and awake there's someone demanding my attention.

I shan't complain too much though as there are definite perks to the whole home thing. (Free laundry, room and board, more people around I know, etc).

Well that's enough venting for today.
