HOUSE.
I like the idea of living on the coast, having a hurricane threaten, and then just packing up the house and driving away. Fuck the weather, I'm moving.
Seeing a tiny home-that-is-mobile being driven around like that makes me grin like an idiot.
This apartment seemed really small when I moved in.
I have the feeling that when the desk taking up space in my living room leaves that it will feel quite large. Too large, in fact. The kitchen already feels like a grand expanse of linoleum.
I utilize the area in front of the new desk, the futon, the bed, and then parts of the kitchen and bathroom. There is a large amount of wasted space in the living room and bedroom. The bathroom, in fact, is the only room in this apartment that is a decent size. Everything else is just too large.
How does it go again? 20% of the space is utilized 80% of the time. I would much prefer to only have that 20% of space. I would also like an LCD monitor that has RCA cable hookups so I can lose the TV.
Even the cats don't utilize the entire space. Well, Jiji does, to an extent. He'll lay in the middle of the floor. Zoe either sleeps on the desk, under/on the futon or bed, and then on the chest of drawers. Only when they're struck with the crazies do they use the full space. The only reason they're not toilet-trained is because I'm afraid of what I would find if I left them alone for three days, as I do on occasion.
There's a whopping two feet between the end of New Desk and the space currently occupied by Old Desk. Enough space for me to roll the chair around and to walk through to get to the kitchen. I could remove a good sized chunk of this living room and be happy about it.
All I need is 50k and some RV hookups. Although I'm sorely tempted to buy a cheap used RV off craigslist and live in that for a while, until I could afford to buy a tiny house on wheels. First, though, the car and student loan must be paid off.

Maybe I won't be spending the rest of my life in apartments, after all.
"Why don't you just buy an RV?" RV'S DON'T HAVE LOFTS. OR PORCHES.
