At Laaaaaaast!
I only just got to go and check out Scamp’s Fabel’s Library of Arcanum Forum. It looks really cool! Better than that Invision Free site. Aside from the obvious questions (Is it easy to work with? And can you set your forum to private?) I’m thinking I might end up using that one for the forum that I want to make. I’m thinking of ripping her rules too, since they’re so...thorough. I think I’ll call the forum Creativity Crackers or maybe Creativity Crack-Ups would be better. But if it has anything to do with me and my group of friends, it’ll definitely have to have something to do with Creativity.
So, my first weekend in my house...it’s a tad of an adjustment. There’ve been surprises along the way; some good and some not so good. Saturday was move-in day, and after moving in so much stuff, I was just so tired and bruised. I sat in my big comfy chair watching first Heroes then Howl’s Moving Castle. Then, I went to take my shower, and after securing the door (as best I could), stripping out of my grimy, sweaty clothes, and making sure everything I had was where it needed to be…I took a shower…a very …very….cold shower. =..= That’s right, Mom turned off the hot water heater, and forgot to turn it back on. But after all that to get ready for the shower, I was not about to dry off, get out, get dressed and call the rents to politely ask ‘what the hell?!’ al la Kinsey. So I just took a cold shower. Then I put on fuzzy socks and brewed some coffee to warm up.
Some time during the shower, the neighbors on the street behind me decided to hold a bon fire/dance party, making it sound like there were natives doing some strange war dance in my back yard. They didn’t stop until around 11 that night.
My washing machine and toilet have a leak somewhere in their hoses, or so we thought. Dad determined that the leak for the washing machine was actually coming from the faucet and not the hose. So I’ll “just have to watch it”. The toilet’s hose doesn’t leak all the time, so I just have to keep a wash cloth on the ground where it drips =..=
There have been some good surprises. We assembled my TV stand and set up my TV on it with my VCR/DVD player. Then my Mom says “Well, hook it up to the cable, and maybe she’ll catch the first few channels or something.” So Dad hooks everything up to the cable and all…..and channel 42 is coming in nice and clear....<..<……..>..>……then we remembered that our renter was a cable dude, so he probably figured a way to steal our cable...and I have no idea how he did it…so I’ve no idea how to undo it…and quite frankly, I don’t care. I’m going to count that as a blessing and leave it at that. ^..^ Free cable, yay!
The only thing left to move in would be my futon, my end tables, my jewelry box, my dressers, which will go in that back room for holding office stuffs (but the one with all the drawers will act as a guest’s dresser), my clothes and my computer, which I have no idea when that’ll go in. I don’t intend to take all of my clothes mostly because I need to “spring clean” but also because the closet is in need of some…minor…repair.
I need to buy curtains and black out shades for the front windows and my bedroom window too. I also need a curtain for the little kitchen window and the bathroom nook where I have my toiletries, toilet brush and other unmentionables. I also would like to get some small stools for my little shelf/table.
I am so soar from moving so much in. But I can’t wait to get everything where it’s supposed to be ^..^ We still haven’t moved my books or my bins...I’ve been filling up a wal-mart bag with my movies every time that I visit my parents house. My DVD cabinet is almost full from all my box sets & anime, but that whirling DVD holding for my movies isn’t. And I can’t seem to find the second one that I bought…I know I didn’t take it out of the box /shrugs.
Oh, and I found out you can’t just pick up platters from Sam’s. You have to order them. So, this week some time I’ll be ordering a few platters from them (fruit and sandwich mostly, though I do plan on getting a cheese cake tray from Chick-Fil-A) ^..^
The only real down side is of course, that it really is easy to hear everything going on in every room. My watch has been beeping every hour on the hour, and I put it in my bathroom so that I wouldn’t hear it as I was sleeping. Then at 10 that night as I’m crawling into bed, I lay down and hear *BEEP* <..<…>..>…=..=’ Yeah.
Over all…I am thrilled with my house. It’s not perfect, but I would get freaked if it was. Upstairs, I have my bed, a lamp and a small chair right in front of my dresser/night stands. It’s a little crowded but it so cozy. As opposed to the living room which is very open with very little in it at all other than the chairs and TV. I like that though, because it distinguishes my space from entertainment/shared space. The kitchen and bathroom just have this...charisma about them with their themes and all. It’s just cute. The only room that’s still a blank slate is the back room...and since I can’t do much with it yet, I’m trying not to sweat that.
I’ve slowly been writing this between breaks through the whole day. So now I don’t have to worry about loosing my lunch break ^..^ Which is actually right now. Hope everyone else is doing as good as I am. Later, Sunshines!
