Living alone is, at this time, preferable. That's not to say I won't change, but it suits me right now. Having lived with a variety of, uh, unique roommates through college, I can firmly state that living alone has its advantages. You have only one person to blame for the mess in the sink. You have only one person to cook meals for. And you can be alone whenever you want. However, living alone has its disadvantages too. You have only one person to blame for the mess in the sink. You have only one person to cook meals for. And you can be alone when you'd really rather not. If you have a sufficient circle of friends to keep the lonely times at bay, living alone is better. You can get the companionship you need from your friends and the solitude you need from your home. Rick Lindsley
