Living alone fears/concerns
January 30, 2009
Before I moved into my own apartment I had some concerns, for now I’ve only done/experienced a couple.

-Something catching on fire.
I really like those scenty thingy’s with the oil and 3 hour candles and I’m scared one of these days I forget to turn it off before going to bed or leaving for school. So far, it hasn’t happened yet.
-Leaving the stove on
Urgh, this was one of the things I was soo paranoid about that one day I’d leave it on. And I did, BUT it was right after I made food, so when I went to the other room to eat it I forgot to turn it off. So when I went back to the kitchen it was sooo hot and smelt kinda funky then saw the stove still open. ?!?!?!??!??!?!. Yeah, thankfully nothing bad happened.
-Leaving the fridge open
This has happened soo many times.
-Passing out/Die and no one would know.
You know, when you’re living all by yourself and with no close friends in the same city, I’m so scared one day I’d pass our or die and my body wouldn’t be discovered until I get evicted for not paying my bills for soo long. Freaky yeah?
-Psycho killers
I’ve seen enough Asian horror movies to put weird ideas in my head. What if there’s this person who goes on a killing rampage.. and breaks into my place and kills me? No matter how much I scream by the time anyone notices I’d be dead!
-While in the toilet someone knocks on the door.
This hasn’t happened to me yet, since no one really knock on my door.
-Forgetting to lock the door.
Automatic locks in the boarding school made me ignore locking doors, so sometimes when I leave the my apartment I find myself climbing up the stairs again to check if I did lock the door. I’ve never left it unlock yet… I think?
-Fridge
See, I’m not good with expiry dates, I mean sure if it’s expired I wont eat/drink it, but since the whole recycling things right, I can’t just throw it in the trash. Solution: leave it in the fridge until the smell gets unbearable. Until this one time where I had about 3 cartons of milk and I almost drank out of the one which has been in my fridge way past it’s expiry date.
-Clogged toilets.
I don’t know how to unplug plus I don’t have a plunger. Thankfully I have good pipes ?
-No one to run to when something bad/scary happens.
I remember one time there was this REALLY loud explosion outside, flash of light and a car driving away really fast. I got soo freaked out I started shaking, I wanted to go run to my neighbours, but yeah, we’re not that close so I decided to lie in bed, fetal position.
This is all I could think of for now, if you have any more things to be freaked out about, tell me. Add to my paranoia.

Hahaha you sound like my dad. He’s SO paranoid about all those things. I get paranoid about leaving the door unlocked and leaving the stove on. Those are two very, very scary things. You have a legitimate reason to be scared.

LMAO. This post made me laugh out loud for real. I loved it.
I would worry about such things as well, but I’d be so into the thought of living on my own that it wouldn’t matter.
But psycho killers scare me the most! I would cry if I just unintentionally left my window open and some rapist came strolling in …
But enough with the depressing stuff.
Congrats on the apt!

yeah.. the SU for people leaving away from parents are bigger ayt? so if I move it will be bigger? But if I stay here and go to uni it will be the same as what I get now?
haaaaaaay
Good luck with finding jobs! I’ve been unemployed for 3 months already, I’ve applied tons of places, nobody likes me
How’s uni life btw? Oh Kamie, I will be applying soon, but I’m really confused.. I don’t know if I should go to Uni or if I should apply for apprenticeship instead.. haaay life!!! gonna be blogging bout it soon
wait and hear about my problem..
