I know this isn’t today’s prompt, but since I didn’t do it yesterday…

Tell me about your first home away from home. Tell me about the first apartment you had that wasn’t under your parents’ roof. A dorm? A loft? A cardboard box? Give us a tour.

Hrm…well, the first place I lived away from my parents was a room in Baldwin Hall at Allegheny College. That was followed by two years in Caflisch, then senior year in Red House (it was a house. It was red. Ah, good times…)

After college, my first apartment was right here in Buffalo. I lived there with Jen and another friend of ours from college. After that, I lived by myself for a while in a third-floor apartment off Elmwood. Then Jen and I lived together again on Lafayette, before I moved in with Rand.

Last year, as you all know, we bought a house:

And here we are.

I wish I had photos of the other places. Actually, I know I *have* them, I just don’t know where they are.
