Its been a year nearly, and I have another year before we part ways to live different places. I think if it was going to happen, it would have by now. Still annoying though!
My last game of "whose going to replenish the toilet paper first" resulted in like a 2 week wait before we both happened to be going to the store together and were like "we should probably get more toilet paper." Turns out we were both hoarding secret rolls in our rooms.
I bought a box of 48 bog rolls so that I wouldn't have to worry about that for a while. There's one in there marked 'Emergency Roll' so I've put that one aside. It (and a folding shovel) also came on the long motoride that I did with a mate just to make sure we wouldn't get caught out. One of those 'if I bring it, I won't need it' kinda things.
A long time ago when the history channel showed history related programming (long long time ago) there was one of those historical shows with interviews about the battle of Stalingrad. One of the Russian dudes was saying he preferred his spade to his rifle for going up stair wells and killed a lot of dude with it.

In WW1 British soldiers each had an entrenching tool. They were pretty useless at digging and they were almost never used for that since they had ready access to full shovels and picks. Instead they made very effective close combat weapons in the trenches since a rifle and bayonet would be too long.
I have an original that was made in 1915. It has a lot of wear marks on it and as I type this I am just realizing that many of those marks might not be from digging.... Hmmmm... Not sure how I feel about it now.

I just always kept my own rolls on hand in my room.
Sometimes I would resort to using someone else's, either because mine ran out too soon or I forgot to grab one on my way in.
In that case I try to always replace whatever I took, asap. Toiletiquette is very important!
Also I'm moved in now, but for some reason my compy needed me to run a repair thing. Afterwards, it decided to stop recognizing my keyboard (except in bios while its booting.)
I am super tired from moving, and this new problem is some major bullshit! I'm at a loss, here.
Also, my wrist is sore as hell from using the on-screen keyboard to type all of this! Argh!
@Wyborn and I helped my sister move last Friday. She's renting a basement in a town 1.5 hours away so she can take some audio engineering classes for the year.
Sister and her boyfriend cannot drive. She wanted Wyborn to transport her and her beau and her stuff, and wanted me to come along for the trip too, for funsies. Sister determined that the best vehicle to do this, since there's to be three passengers in addition to the driver, was a large pickup truck. She assured me that all her stuff could fit in the bed of the truck.
Well, it could not.
Long story short, Wyborn and I made the trip twice in a day

Our landlord needs us out at the end of this month. His wife is divorcing him and he needs a place to live. So we found a new place about 30 minutes away, but have no one to help us move the furniture.
I bought some pretty old dining chairs really cheap because I didn't have any. Now I'm half-assedly restoring them. Well, I started quarter-assedly restoring them tonight, and then I realised that a quarter wasn't gonna cut it so I'm gonna have to wait till I have some time on sunday and do it more properly.
Not totally properly because that would involve a lot of intricate wood stripping and taking the brass studs off the seat and reupholstering and fuck that noise.
Moved into my new place away from campus because fuck living around students especially when you're not one anymore. I forgot how nice central heating/air were. Also I have my own washer/dryer now which is great because I do laundry a lot.
Also two of my buds are in the same complex so we can hang all day. We're gonna get a super router so we can just have a massive wireless network.
edit: tonight I was reminded that it's way easier walking 20 feet to your apartment from your friend's house when you're drunk compared to trying to work out the logistics of finding a ride or like, walking a mile or two.
finally halfway to getting sorted in my flat. Still got a bunch of stuff to give away/sell on ebay, and the study is a mess. But I've managed a serious declutter, got rid of at least two or three boxes of junk, taken two large bags of clothing to the charity shop, and vacuum-stored the hell out of everything I won't be needing in the next six to nine months. Hopefully next time I move it won't be quite such a chaotic nightmare.
also I have a private balcony and access to a large walkway/waterfront area which has gorgeous views
I can even wave to the swans while I'm washing up.
Took the trash out today. On the way back, I noticed my downstairs neighbors had a black box on their patio up and running and that there was smoke coming out of it -- I thought it was some kind of electric grill or something.
I called into them, and they let me know that no, it was a smoker. I said cool, that's what it's supposed to be doing, and went back to my place.
The woman of the unit came up to my place a while later to apologize, and gave me a plate of pigs in blankets and watermelon. I felt really bad! I wasn't bothered by their smoke, and really felt guilty that they thought that I thought they were being bad neighbors.
And so now I still haven't introduced myself to the people who live below me and have their own meat smoker. Apparently I'm the shitty neighbor, surprising no one.

yo, I don't know if you're still having troubles with this but
windows 8 has trouble recognizing PS2 keyboards sometimes. it's a known, unpatched issue with a registry fix. if that seems like your problem, there's a couple tom's hardware threads with a guide to fixing it
I helped my girlfriend look at apartments yesterday.
I didn't realize how nice apartments were when you actually had a job and weren't a student and could afford that kind of stuff. Makes me look forward to getting the hell out of school and joining her, although hopefully we'll be renting a house instead.

Yup, that's the switch I just made. It's really nice not being surrounded by 3 different parties that last until 4am to celebrate Thursday.
I can do laundry at my duplex but I have two other roommates and it currently blooooows
Not as hard as last roommates, but it's still not ideal. I'm actually pissed at the landlord for signing this one dude, but he's alright for a young guy.

"Not much, just doing my laundry inside my apartment."
Oh man, I was stupidly excited to have my very own washing machine. I was just coming up with excuses to wash things. "Oh, these sheets that I've not used yet are a little dusty. I know, I'll wash em!"
Got over that WASH EVERYTHING! instinct pretty quickly. Though on moving to Washington, I was surprised to learn that laundry machines in apartments are a thing. I never saw that in California.

They do do that with cleaning up though, they both do less than me combined.
Because I like to be clean.
This has happened to me.
very important
i need to replace the folding shovel, i broke that on some shit plant that i was removing from my sister's yard that had come over from her neighbor
But as a tip, wrap it in a plastic bag first.
Satans..... hints.....
Dig a hole, or hack a man to death.

and then at the end "Oh by the way you can also dig with it"
It also highlights how terrible it is as a shovel. Shitty knife AND a shitty shovel all in one inconvenient device? Where do I sign up?!?
