How many different places (cities, houses, apartments, dorm rooms, etc.) have you lived in? Which is your favorite? And your least favorite?
1. Michael Crescent, Saint John, NB (1985 - Sept 2003)
The house I grew up in. I lived there until I graduated from high school, and my parents stayed there until last autumn. Any gaps in apartments were probably because I was living here again for a bit.
2. Route 103, Wakefield, NB (Sept 2003 - 2004)
When I went away to college I first stayed with my aunt. I had run of pretty much the entire basement. There was a water bed, and dressers, and the room I stayed in was rough and unfinished. The house itself is outside of Woodstock, but not too far. Far enough that I had trouble getting back and forth when I wanted to see friends though.
3. St. John Street, Woodstock, NB (2004)
Which led me here. I "moved in" with Shelley and Amie, friends from the graphics program. I slept on the couch, and walked to school every day. I loved living with them, but it didn't last too long.
4. Queen Street South, Woodstock, NB (2004)
Then I stayed with Ned and Bill for a little while. That didn't work out.
5. Queen Street, Woodstock, NB (2004)
So eventually I moved into Capital Square - a really crappy residence for the college students. I made some great friends, and had some amazing times there. My door didn't lock, and the roof started leaking. But I stayed there until the end of the school year.
6. Wayne Street, Shediac, NB (Jan 2005 - Feb 2005)
I lived here for only a couple of months. It's a little summer cottage that my cousin and I were renting one winter. She was taking classes in Moncton proper, and I would stay and watch her son during the day. I really liked it there. I had a big enough room, and it was right on the water. Unfortunately it would have been a lot more expensive to rent in the summer.
7. Queen Street South, Woodstock, NB (again) (Feb 2005 - April 2005)
This apartment was kind of ridiculous. It was basically passed down between all of our friends. After Bill and Ned moved away, Ryan and James took it over. After James left? Well, that is when I moved in. Ryan and I rode out the rest of the school year there. Despite it being a crappy college apartment, I really enjoyed it. The bathroom was gross, and under the stairs. It didn't have a proper shower, and we had to staple the curtain to the wall. But it was a damn good time.
8. Union Street, Woodstock, NB (April 2005 - Sept 2005)
I was in love with this apartment, but it didn't last long. Can you say haunted? Okay, well. I'm not sure what exactly it was. But I've never been so terrified to be alone in my life. I couldn't sleep in that apartment, and I hated being there. We couldn't stand it at all, and ended up leaving only a couple of months later.
9. Main Street, Woodstock, NB (Sept 2005 - May 2006)
I loved this apartment, despite it being yet another crappy Woodstock place. Lacey and I moved here after Union Street, and spent an entire school year. It was crazy long, and had rooms branching out from a single hallway. The shower pelted you with this fine mist, and it felt like your skin was ripping off.
10. Parkside Drive, Fredericon, NB (May 2006 - May 2007)
This is by far the *nicest* apartment I've ever lived in. Dishwasher, fireplace, etc. It was plain though, just another boxy apartment. Not my sort of thing. I lived there first with Paul, who eventually left for home (England) when he couldn't find a job.
hollygoroughly took his place for a while, but the landlady haaaated her. She eventually moved downtown, and Bradford took her place. I got out as soon as I could.
11. Church Street, Fredericon, NB (May 2007 - Sept 2008)
I think I probably enjoyed my time in this apartment more than anywhere else. It was cramped, and my shower wasn't in the apartment itself... but it was in a gorgeous building, I had amazing neighbours, and I was close to everything. I loved living by myself, though I don't think I'd ever choose a bachelor apartment again.
12. rue Normandie, Dieppe, NB (Oct 2007 - May 2008)
I moved in with a friend in Dieppe, but had to leave when I couldn't pay rent. I had a neon green room, and it was massive.
13. Portledge Avenue, Moncton, NB (May 2008 - Sept 2008)
This is another favourite. When I moved out of Dieppe, Lee and I found a place in Moncton itself. It has gorgeous radiators, arched doorways, and amazingly old wood floors. I moved out when I left for school, and Lee moved out just last week. It was my first real apartment with a boyfriend. Too bad it was in Moncton, hmm.
14. York Street, Fredericon, NB (Sept 2008 - March 2009)
Oh my. This place. I lived there most of the school year, and moved out to stay with Kayla and Katie. I enjoyed living with Sandy, though I don't think we make good roommates. We called it the York Street Pet Emporium. So many pets there... three cats, two rats, a hamster, a spider, and a gecko. Most of said pets died in the fire, unfortunately. Only my hamster and my cat made it out.
15. King Street, Fredericon, NB (March 2009 - present)
Oh, what a place. Technically I still live here, though I can't imagine I'll be spending any more time there. Small apartment, loud street, but great neighbours.
