You need to get some cash to ease your living situation ;)

some cleaning material might be helpful :)
and the most important thing is DSL or CABLE hehe

oh yeah, now that you mention it, where is the web site that tells you how far the dsl cable box is? i want cable but fear that since the area is so tightly paced, that my speed will suffer.

Hehe, yeah get DSL. And some Cat5, and a router and switch, and long picnic tables so you can have LAN parties.

When I got my apartment I got cats. Cats are cool. Stupid, but cool.

Cash good too. Don't get a nice stereo unless you have nice neighbors. I have a mom below me that complains that she can't hear the phone when I watch DVDs. Dogs are a big no. No to dogs, they need space.

Get food. Ramen good, very good. And cooking stuff. Frying pan and microwave are musts. Get a good supply of alcohol, can never have too much alcohol.

If you need convenience get everything on rollers. Dressers, TV carts, computer desk. Makes getting to stuff a lot easier. And get stuff to organize your closet, overclock the space you got. Go to Walmart.

Ok, those are my apartment suggestions. Good luck.

I almost forgot. Get big poster of Jaymee Ong or some other hot babe. I have an almost life size poster of Heidi Klum so you can see her from the parking lot. Very cool. Jaymee Ong the best though, go Jaymee Ong!

OK first off, if you get DSL buy one of those huge spools of cat five cable. It can't be a box, it has to be a spool. Because when you are done unwinding the Cat5? Instant end table!!! Got any old computer cases? Put two of them on the floor, a piece of plywood over them. Instant coffee table!!! Decorate with various computer magazines and you have the beginnings of a cozy living room. Chairs? Lawn chairs, always lawn chairs. ;)

Cleaning and cooking devices, in other words a woman.

I know I eat 10 times better now that I have someone who doesn't mind cooking for me! I can't imagine not being able to go home and see dinner on the stove. Mmmmmm. But of course, help out and all that, don't be a dick.

Couches and chairs are helpful, as is a bed. You'll also want a shower curtain and towels and a bath matt. Don't forget all the neato things like shampoo, etc.

Figure at least $1,000 worth of misc. junk you never even thought of. Food == spendy has hell too. I spend easily $200 every 2 weeks feeding myself, and the girlfriend.

living on your own when you have to pay for everything sucks ass, get used it. I had more disposable income before when I lived at home making $8k/yr. argh. :)
