1. Blouses that button up the back are Satan's greatest triumph.

2. It's amazing how quickly one person can go through a roll of toilet paper.

3. OMG, the hair in the drain is all yours.

4. Dinner tastes better eaten pants-less, standing at the sink.

5. A Slim Jim and a Snack Pack pudding make for a really satisfying meal.

6. Alone time makes you philosophical: If I eat this wedge of cheesecake and no one is here to see it, did I really eat it?

7. It's easy to go 48 hours without speaking.

8. Things You Can Now Do Naked: Dice, disinfect, dust, vacuum, hang, knit, crosswords, read, play Wii, shop online, bank online, blog, file taxes, prune indoor garden, macrame, sweep, whittle, blow glass, watercolor, glaze, sculpt, polish, refurbish, rewire, Tae Bo, role-play, Google, play darts.

    9. Living alone is expensive, yo! But it beats having to live with other people.

    10. You can do whatever you want, when you want, how you want.

    9. You have complete control of the remote and can watch whatever you want on TV, whenever you want!

    10. You can make a mess and no one will tell you to clean up.

    I'd watch out with the whole blowing glass while naked thing. That sounds dangerous. . . kind of like frying bacon naked. Potential pain alert!

    Haha, I like the eating in your underpants one! Very true! Best not to make more dishes to wash. Everyone should live alone at least once in their life.
