Describe where you live

Post Reply New Topic

I live in a village called Fetcham which is in Surrey, the county south of London in England. It is beautiful and quiet. I see deer on my walk home from the bus stop.

I was offered a sail boat trip around the world but backed out due to my tendency to get sea sick. I'm cursed
I would define 'conventional NT lifestyle as owning a house in the suburbs. The primary reason I rent a house on a month to month basis is so that if and when I get the urge for a new and different environment, I have that freedom. I will be in line for the first house on the bottom of the ocean. Love to scuba and swim with dolphines.

Humboldt County California

I never knew the significance of this place until I moved here. Anyone know what that is?

HINT: Some of you self-medicating types might know

I currently rent a tiny blue house on the corner.
It has two rooms... one for my daughter which we painted, carpeted and then put in her bunkbed and other accouterments, the other I filled with all my junk, clothes and extra stuff so now I can't sleep in there.

I sleep in the living room on a futon couch with my body-length pillow... My Friend .
We have one bathroom and a laundry room. The kitchen is central in the house.

There's a large backyard with a tiny wooden shed with a space underneath my daughter recently described as a 'kitty dispenser' because we found three kittens and their mommy underneath.

There are fruit trees that are not growing, in the back. A small front yard with a view to the ocean.

I sorta wish I could buy this place but the landlord has decided not to sell.

When my divorce is finally done and I have my family's property back in my name, I'm going to sell that and buy some property and a new car... I hope so anyway.
Then I will put a Yurt on the property to live in (with a little Yurt attached for my daughter), and a larger building to store all my stuff.
I really like small houses, especially if they are away from neighbors... for their sake and mine

Actually, I find it hard to live where there is noise.
The house I shared with my wife (which I didn't want and knew she really did) was on a busy street in a small town.
I swear, I could hear people talking late at night when they were a block away. There is this sort of amphitheater effect going on there.
I'd hear the 'noise', wake up and couldn't go back to sleep. She might wake up and ask what was wrong and I'd say, "They're talking out there and I can't sleep.". To which she would respond.. "I can't hear a thing!"

Anyway, I'm not sensitive to every noise, just things like people talking/walking loudly, cats yowling, dog's barking, clock's ticking...

I really like living in the country... those kind of noises don't bother me!

Here's the Yurt I'm talking about. We looked at them in person years ago, they're nice!

That's exactly what I meant. You don't own that house in VillaVille; it owns you. Don't give up that freedom, it's hard to get back. We'll be neighbors on the seabed!

Before my marriage, I lived a rather nomadic lifestyle out of my pickup.
When I moved, I could fit everything I owned in the back. If, by chance, there was any leftover stuff then it went to anyone who wanted/needed it.

I spent some time living out of a dome tent and a little hole in the rock (sort of a cave but not very deep). At that time, I had a Harley and an old truck. My job was at at a government building on a military base (I was a civilian) and we had locker rooms to change in.
That was perfect because I could shower and do all the regular bathroom/grooming stuff there.
No utility bills, no rent, fresh air and privacy.

This all came to an end when my brother came to town and we wound up sharing a little travel trailer for a short while.
Then I met and moved in with my future wife and now I have SO MUCH STUFF, even I can't believe it! Even after splitting everything up for the divorce!

House. Yard. Street. Neighborhood. Town. State. Country. Continent. Planet. Solar System. Galaxy. Universe.

Is there a zip code for that?

Lol! Yes, it begins with an 8!

If I look north and walk 300 meters Ill be in lake Ontraio.

In a small fishing town of about 2100-2300 people.

I live in an apartment on the third floor of a small apartment building near a typical Dutch canal. On the first floor is a practice where some kind of alternative therapy called "haptonomy" is performed (I'm not sure what that is), and there is also a dietician's practice there. The second, third and fourth floor contain apartments, two per floor.

My apartment consists of two rooms (bathroom not included). My bedroom / study overlooks an important arterial road with a broad verge in the middle with tall trees (I think they're beeches but I'm not sure, I have limited knowledge of botany). In my bedroom / study there is a raised bed (to save space), my computer and peripherals, a large writing desk and several bookcases. I keep my philosophy and law books there.

The other room is the living room. It also has several bookcases where I keep all other books, mainly novels and books on history, art, architecture and some other subjects, and several encyclopedias. It has a small dining table with four chairs, and a television / reading corner with three armchairs, a coffee table and of course my television (a relic from the stone age ). My living room overlooks a courtyard with a car park, which is surrounded by other apartment buildings.

My bathroom has a toilet, a sink with mirror and a shower. Unfortunately no bathtub. I'm considering having one installed.

Officially I live there, but I spend a lot of time at my parents' place. They have a much bigger house (detached) and a large garden. I don't have a garden. Only a storage box where I keep my bicycles and some old junk.

I would say my apartment is on the whole fairly clean and tidy. There are no two-weeks-old dishes with microbe cultures or anything like that.

Four walls. Three doors. Six windows.

ok...last post of the day....er...hour....

I live in I think the 4th largest city in the U.S>..or something like that...in big weird green building next to a factory that makes remesh (steel concrete reenforcement sheets)
My living room has a bar in in there is tons of silly artwork all over the walls by lots of different people...there are 6 gravitation games of the coffee table...a kiddie table with old fisher price toys and crayons and stuff even though no kids live there...2 sit n spins....random homemade stuffed toys all over the couch...all kindsa other stuff.

I guess what would be my den is the theatre with old movie seating and a stage...there are big murals all over the walls..as well as several different painting...the largest pieces happened to be done by friends of ours who are schitzophrenic..

There is an art gallery off to the side of our living room...there is also my art dungeon which is currently in such a state of dissarray that I can't go in there without having to move stuff...and the spare room, which is cursed.

The master bedroom is big and messy...the kitchen is in there...it is tiny and horrible and festering with every household pest you can imagine...the worst being slugs...

...and flakeys old claymation studio...is in there
and most of my screen printing supplies.
I have a sewing machine next to the bed..and there is an entire section of the master bedroom that is like a no-mans-land because I don't know how to organise it....annnd.....

There is a patio that has kinda gone to seed...it has a swing and a fire pit and concrete lions and breeds mosquitos...

I started out living in a womb

Moved into a house

Then a unit

One day I hope to have an ensuite in my urn....

I live in one of the nicest areas in Indiana. I really like it here, especially compared to where I lived before I moved (It wasn't trash or anything, just cliquey and there was nothing around). Now I'm around nicer people and there's plenty of stuff to do. Plus we just got the state's first Dunkin' Donuts!
