Older and more Anal?

I recently moved... away from the faraway land into the realms of civilisation.

If I were to compare, of cos the previous abode was a newer and nicer and cheaper and friendlier and cosier and better in general a place to live in. But, the convenience of staying near the uni kinda outweighed everything.

After months of searching for a new place, and after 2 days of moving, i'm already contemplating my next move - to living alone.

What's so good about living alone? It's quiet, boring, almost bordering on autism in some cases. For experienced sharers of accomodation, the benefits of staying alone are plentiful - but can the desire of staying out alone be a function of:

old age=being anal? or able to afford it, so i want to stay out alone?
