things that i will miss about living in an apartment:

-how the guy upstairs, with the extremely creaky floor, knows exactly when we go to bed each night so that 15 minutes later, he can walk around above us in his room for a bit and then go to bed. this is amazing, considering we don't have a regular bedtime.
-the little brat across the hall who loves to jump off the stairs into the sunken living room, rattling our coffee table. daily. and repeatedly.
-after returning from an adventurous camping trip, not having anywhere to dry out our wet tarp and tent fly.
-watching action movies much too quietly.
-listening to daft punk much too quietly.
-the wonderful smells of curry, chinese food, and something indistinguishable wafting through our place, even though we're just eating kd.
-the tight feeling i would get in my tummy when i'd hear someone banging on the window of the guy downstairs, at 11:30 at night, which was when his buddies usually arrived.
-the very lovely white walls.
-the fear that my neighbours might leave meat boiling on the stove while they go grocery shopping and burn down the apartment building.
-the time that almost happened.
-the sounds of the neighbours having a drunken party at 2 am.
-the sounds of the neighbours having sex.
-the silverfish.
-the split second of fear when hearing a man's voice, when i knew i was home alone and just stepping out of the shower, until i realized that it was coming from out in the hallway and, yes, my door was still locked.
-the two windows. yes, i will miss both of them.
-going downstairs and then walking to the very end of a very long hallway to the laundry room, only to find that the dryer didn't actually dry my clothes, and i've already used up my last loonie.

mmmmm. we shall miss you, apartment living.
