    Thanks for the great blog and the giveaway. I had a few craptastic apartments during and just after university. None quite as bad as Amy’s, but we did have police shootouts outside of one of them.

    My 1st apartment was so bad that when I moved into it and the person living there moved out and down to a different unit a few doors away, I had to put a note on the door stating “I am not a crack ‘ho and I will not have sex with you for drugs. Said crack ‘ho now lives in unit so-and-so. Please do not knock on my door at 3 am and wake my baby, looking for sex. Thank you.”

    Ah, good times.

    I fondly remember my first apartment, but most of my family considered it a dump. Oh well. Thanks for the giveaway. 🙂

    You guys are so welcome for the giveaway– and yeah. This place was a real dump. But, much like our house now, it’s OUR dump!

    Your experience with your first apartment brings to mind the horrible stuff that use to happen in my old neighborhood. Thanks for sharing and for the giveaway.

    There was a herd of wild squirrels living in the rafters right above my attic apartment. Squirrels are extremely noisy, and very hyperactive. Make bad, bad, neighbors.

    Don’t ya just love first apts! Mine wasn’t as much of a dump, but I still can’t eat boxed Mac and Cheese because that’s what we ate 4 out 7 day. Thanks for the giveaway.

    Oh gosh I remember my first place; wow. And I remember my now-husband’s first place when I would go visit him – the NOISE – i would lay there wide awake listening to hard-rock emanating from the apartment next door and dream of going out to my car and finding some place quiet where I could rest my eyes….

    First places are really rough. Thank you for sharing your experience, along with the scavenger hunt.
