This post I got from Tricia, who got it from other people, so really, we'll just consider it post viral at this point.
Places I've lived:
1. Brandermill - house #1
This was a cute little condo, two bedrooms, one that I shared with my brother. I don't remember much about it - we moved when I was in kindergarten, but the staircase had a landing and I liked that.
2. Brandermill - house #2
I spent most of my childhood in this one floor house. It was not constructed for having guests over so I hated bringing people over to my house - my room was TINY but there was nowhere else where we could go to have fun in the house that wasn't under parental supervision at all times. I hated that house, I never invited anyone over. Back in the day the cool thing to do was have slumber parties - I never got to have one because we had nowhere to sleep. Can you tell I'm bitter?
3. Powhatan
We moved to Powhatan at the end of my sophomore year of high school - my parents live in that house now. I love the big back yard and the house is PERFECT for entertaining guests, we've had more parties since we've moved there than in the 16 years in the other houses combined. My mom hates this house because it isn't well built and it isn't very fancy but I think it is very nice. I love having my own bathroom.
4. Santoro 214
My freshman year of college I lived in a triple with a friend from high school and a girl from Colorado. The dorms on CNU campus are huge so that was fine - there was really plenty of space most of the time. We had friends over constantly and I miss the social life of there always being someone in the hall who wanted to hang out. Mario Parties and Karaoke - that's what life in Santoro was about.
5. Barclay 46
My first apartment - love love love. Sadly they are tearing it down soon to make way for more modern things on campus, I'm guessing just more apartments. I had a private bedroom and lived with two friends, it had so much space. I loved reading at the kitchen table and having my own room but still living with friends. I hope that when I graduate I can find an apartment that I love as much as that little one.
6. Main Hall 415
Think about a really old residence hall in Bristol, VA - at the top of a huge hill, on the top floor of the building that didn't have an elevator. Then imagine parking at the bottom of that hill and carrying your groceries up all said hill and then all those stairs, and you will get an idea of how much I "enjoyed" living there.
After that I spent a few more years back in Powhatan.
7. Brandon Rd, Newport News
Right now I live with my grandmother in the house that my mom grew up in. I love this house, and I would live here forever if I could, but I'd rather be in Richmond permanently so I doubt that I will stay after I graduate.
There's a pointless post for you - it's what you get when I don't have anything to say, but don't want to study.

Heeeeey what do you know this post isn't about baseball, college, or David so it totally counts towards my new goal. Score.
I never knew you lived in two houses in Brandermill!
Cool!
