Hmm.... well I don't want to ask something that would seem normal, 'cause one I'm not normal, and two where would be the fun in that? lol

So.... my questions (that last one was kinda rhetorical), are as follows:

Assuming you could afford to purchase any residence of your choosing (within reason here, no Buckingham Palaces, or whatnot, say 1/2 million value max limit) what would you get, where would it be, who would share it with you (if anyone), and why?

 

I'm using this as an excuse for us to learn more about each other, so.... I will tell you my responses to that set of questions.

What?  I'd make a giant garage with a full basement under half of it, and use the other half to park a motor home in. The basement would be done up like a separate 'apartment' with an open access laundry room.  (Why? It's cheaper than a full out house, extra money to retire earlier, and I just like the way they do up the motor homes, they is cool.  But, I also don't want to actually move it around or anything.)

Where? In the country, near Stratford (a nearby city), and within the fibre optic service area of one of the local internet co-operatives. (Why? I like the space/clean air in the country, want to be close to Stratford for shopping/church stuff, and the local co-op provides fibre to the home in some areas for the same price as normal highspeed.)

Who? Well, my family if I get one of my own, or if not, perhaps my bro and I share the motor home and I rent out the basement apartment. (Why? Family is pretty obvious.... bro and renter for job replacing/offsetting income, and regular company otherwise. Living alone is boring, been there.)

Okay, mini-novel complete!

This is seriously an awesome question, but hold up I need to put some thought into it, haha.
I will be back with an answer!

Okay so I'm weird and keep thinking about having any type of residence I want and I still really only want an apartment. haha. Okay, maybe I'll go for a one bedroom condo. With a HUGE closet. Maybe I'll make it a two bedroom condo and just use one of the bedrooms as my closet. haha. I'm pretty sure I would have to live by myself. I'm not sure I could trust anyone else financially and I definitely am someone who needs not only her own space but her alone time. For some reason, I keep picturing this out by the water, whether it is the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, or the Pacific Ocean (because sometimes I want to move to California!) I'm not sure. I don't really want to live on the water though, but the view in my head is pretty nice. I think a nice little Suburbia would suit me just fine; outside the city. I lovelovelove cities but I HATEHATEHATE driving in them and I think if I lived closed enough just to visit even daily if I needed to, that would be kind of cool. 

but what about the bus?!

I like driving =/

*chuckles* Wow, a very undetermined one!  But I totally understand the alone time. I need mine too, but it's easy to do for me, even in the apartment I share with my brother.  I probably get less time with him than on my own.  He watches a lot of T.V. while I'm on the computer a lot myself.  What is it with women and the water, lol.  Most females I know seem to like being near the water.
