Huzzah! In another step on the road to maturity I've now got my own place. I don't own it, but my name is on the lease. It's a small step yet remains a step all the same.

I like to think of it as a logical evolutionary progression: live with parents, college, shared rental, leased unit/appartment, ..., build own house. I don't know what would be in the '...' but the end point would be building and owning my own place.

Unfortunatly because the move in date was a little... fluid do to the previous tennants not knowing which way was up, I didn't connect any utilities. I figured there wasnt any point paying for their power, water, gas, etc. But of course as a result now that I'm actually in the place it means that I don't have any utilities either!

So last night I spent in the dark with no power for my PC (*sob*) or for heating. And for those not aware, living in the desert regions of SA is cold... really really fucking cold.

EDIT:
Oh and as a result we now have a pleasant by-product. That being:

Own Place + Income + ADSL Enabled Exchange = Personal ADSL Connection.

It's still on the way but the barriers are falling quickly. More news as it occurs.
