Is a bachelor enough?

I'm done with the LOL posts. It was a way to get through the Valentine's day weekend which, surprisingly, was pretty smooth anyways.

In fact, life has been pretty good as of late. Between good times with friends, a back/neck injury that seems to be solving itself, and (here I go jinxing myself) a new boy (nothing serious! just dates!)... it's just been really easy.

Sure, I feel stuck - in a job with crappy hours, with no where to go and no money to do it, a pea sized apartment that increasingly makes me feel like I have no room for my stuff, and aspirations that reach beyond my capabilities...

Yet, lately, it's okay.

My friends are rad and so far in 2009, they are playing an active and constant role in my life. For that, I couldn't be happier.

But looking around my apartment, a few hours before I make that march to work... the piles of clothes that I have to rearrange just to fit somewhere, the bookshelf that can only accommodate 3 more hardcovers despite my willingness to lend them out never to get them back...

I have this place bursting with stuff. And while I love the view of the mountains and the cross breeze going through... sometimes I wonder if my $800 a month can be better spent.

Does it mean I re-enter the roommate zone? Try for a similarly priced 1 bedroom? I'm terrified to let this place go only to have to live in Surrey. The location is impeccable and without a car (or if I bring Ales back into service, a part-time vehicle), walkability is such a huge priority for me.

I've got two months to figure this out.

Any suggestions?
