1. Selfish Renovation Decisions

I have spent my summer renovating my apartment. While I am certain the whole process would have been easier and faster with the help of someone stronger and handier than I am, I must admit that it has been wonderful to have unilateral decision making power. I chose the colours (Purple for the bedroom? Yes please!), the furniture, the bedding (Purple and grey with embroidered FLOWERS), the art...it's all what I wanted. I did not have to compromise to find a middle ground, I didn't have to consult anyone else before making a purchase, it was DELIGHTFUL. So there you have it people, reason number 1 being single is awesome is the ability to choose to make your abode obscenely girly without having to worry about offending the delicate sensibilities of some guy who doesn't know the difference between aubergine and heliotrope.
