Help C0ckney Decide Where He Lives Next Year
it's time for me to stop pretending to be a student and get out of my cheap and cheerful house in the centre of town. it was ok living with students again, but a bit of a letdown in all honesty, for a number of reasons.
i'm planning to move into a much nicer house in a slightly nicer area, but i have dilemma over where exactly to go and who to move in with. my options in brief:
option 1: move in september into a house in the uplands with my mate simon, his bird and another friend. this would be my preferred option as i get on with them all really well and it would be a right laugh.
however, there are a few drawbacks. firstly, the date is rather uncertain (sometime in september - i would like to be out by july) and my friends are notorious procrastinators, so september could easily slip, which could make things difficult for me. secondly, the house isn't sorted, and i know from experience that it's much easier to sort a house in june than in september. thirdly, as well as being a good friend, simon is my dealer. this might seem like an ideal situation
, but i fear it would result in me just sitting on the sofa a lot and neglecting other things. he says that he's going to stop selling once he moves house, but i remain to be convinced.
option 2: move at the end of the month into a 2 bedroom house/flat in brynmill/uplands/mumbles/sketty with my friend sam. she is a nice girl, a few years younger than me, we get on pretty well and i think it would be fun to live with her. she is also up for moving pretty soon.
again though there are drawbacks. she is nuts, a proper head case at times, i'm sure i can handle her, but still. she's not very bright, which sound a bit harsh, but if the last few years have taught me anything, it's the importance of living with people who are on the same intellectual level as you. i completely dread living with someone with whom i can't have an intelligent conversation, although i don’t think sam is one of those. she is also, to put it nicely, a bit like sunday morning, and by that i of course mean easy! i'm not looking forward to the endless stream of boys she'll bring home (and particularly how unfavourably it will, especially these days
, compare with the number of girls i'll bring home). on plus side at least it means that i'll have someone to take out my animal instincts on 
and sam on tap for a year wouldn't be the worst fate in the world.
option 3: move into a house with strangers in brynmill/uplands. i did this when i first moved back to swansea and it wasn't great to be fair. however this time, i will have a lot more control over where i live and a chance to meet the people properly before i move in. it would nice to meet a few new people and hopefully hit it off with them. also i can pick the location and features of the house i will live in, within reason of course.
the drawback is it’s a step into the unknown. people who are nice as pie the first time you meet them, can quickly turn out to be boors, or tw@ts, or boring tw@ts. i’d hate to sign a year long contract and then find out i had nothing in common with any of my housemates (which is pretty much what happened two years ago).
so what do our experts at poly think?

What are Sam's friends like?
