>>creepy civilian? dude, you're talking like it's the end of the world.
As far as I'm concerned, it might as well be. I was looking forward to the whole experience of living alone, just myself and my gear.
That's the other thing -- over the years, I've amassed a sizeable collection of DVDs, CDs, books, and home-theater equipment. I'll want it with me -- my new school is halfway across the country, so I can't go home on a whim -- but I'm not keen on sharing.
