This site is under reconstruction and will look strange for a while. We regret the inconvenience.
Summer plans? Cooling off ideas?
(First post?)
Yes, summer plans would do nicely.
Sleep in.
Hmmm…How about….
Rubber ducks!
Or webcomics!
Or ghosts!
Or paper cups!
etc.
TV?
Yay for rubber ducks!
How about “versus”?
Ants vs. Bees (stolen from Muse)
Google vs. Wikipedia
Whatever, you get the idea…And we enumerate the qualities of each to determine a winner…
Or how about adjectives with positiive connotations!
Yes rubber ducks are awesome!
Rubber duckie, your the one!
You make my bath times lots of fun!
Rubber duckie, I’m awefully fond of you!
Mr. Weasley likes rubber ducks.
How about the items in our backpacks/closets/purses? That was fun, a few months back…
how about crazy things we’ve decorated our house with?
9~ You don’t want to know what all I have crammed in my purse and backpack….
10~ My room is “decorated” with a chip-carved desk from Pakistan, a big denim beanbag chair, a purple shaggy rug made from old t-shirt material, a futon bed with a blue and green quilt and a redish brownish striped wool blanket (the pattern of which is made after a scrap found in a well at Colonial Williamsburg), a pastel colored music stand that is full of music books that fall off every now and then, two bookshelves that are stuffed to the breaking point with my favorite books and other items, a washing machine, and several shelves of foodstuffs. (My room doubles as a pantry.)
On the walls are posters of horses torn from Young Rider magazine, some drawings of buildings from colonial Williamsburg and some tall ships. I made up my own constellations on the ceiling with those glow-in-the-dark stick on stars, and fashioned some “curtains” out of sheer sparkly material.
It’s rather crazy.
GOOGLEFIGHTING!!!!
…or what’s in our room.
My walls are painted light blue, my bed has this really ugly sheets but it keeps me warm, I have a solitary bookshelf next to my desk-disguised-as-a-huge-pile-of-stuff, I have 2 posters up: one of various royal palaces and such in England, and one of Harry Potter that I got a WAL-MART at the 7th HP book release party, I have a dresser (with a heap of stuff on it) squished next to my bed with a gap in the wall where I put dirty clothes, and my closet.
That’s about it.
Decorate? What’s that?
Seriously, the most attractive thing in my room is the newly alphabetized and prettyful bookshelf.
*Post #13 was me.
Um, my room is covered in posters to hide my whitish puce walls. I have a bunk bed and a yellow and green “desk” *coughtablecough*
Ugh, my room is a Mess and isn’t decorated very well. My room is shaped like this:

________________.(door).._|
When you walk in the door, to your right is a wall with a Wooden Boats calendar and a few postcards with boats. There is a turquoise wastebasket in the corner. To your left is a NOSB calendar, and, above that, a pair of bright orange cardboard sunglasses with salmon on them (also from the NOSB).
My bed is simply a mattress on the floor, usually unmade, and covered in a crocheted afghan in spice colors. There are a few stuffed animals scattered about as well. On one wall there is a map of Mexico, and on another a large piece of interesting fabric that I tried to drape artistically (it didn’t work). Postcards are stuck up seemingly at random. Next to my closet door there is a bookshelf with a rather poor selection of books (all my favorite ones burned, and I’ve only managed to replace a few, most of those being downstairs), my Muses, an alarm clock, and a few other things. The shelf has open ends and there aren’t any bookends, so the books are precariously leaned against each other in a disgraceful manner.
My closet is full of clothes that are rarely folded, plus shoes, jewelry, socks, and bags.
I have two lamps and a heater in my room, plus my alarm clock, so the extension cord is stung across the room, but it’s mostly covered up my books and homemade Risk boards, so it doesn’t matter.
Yes.
It is a mess.
Plus my bookshelf is the exact same shade of dark grey as my walls.
my room is plastered from ear to ear with posters of birds, anatomical, life-size, completely accurate models hang from the ceiling, a foot and a half wide stack of muses sit on the dresser, there’s always at least one cat perched in some insane place, a couple compound bows hag haphazardly behind the door, a few Koko shirts are usually slung across the back of my chair, a $600 pair of binoculars lay on the windowsill, sketchbooks lie indiscriminately around the room, a few random sketches showing on the inside, wungs, sometimes. (that’s my first ever 93 word sentence!)
here’s a keyboard layout of my room:

oh, didn’t really work, did it?
my room’s boring and cramped. It’s not actualy a small room I’d say that it’s meadium sized but it has a lot of stuff in it I should really throw out. My office is half of a different room because there was no room in my bedoom for a desk. And it is basically stacks of papers and boxes and a few files. My desk is a disaster. It is covered with unfinished art projects and finished crafts (cross stiching and the like)
My room is rather strangely shaped:
_______(windows)_________
|……………………………………| (closet)
|……………………………………|
|……………………………………|
|……………………………………|
|**……………………………|
|**……………………………|
|**……………………………|

|…………………………………o
|…………………………………r
The thing that sticks out next to the door is a covered-up fireplace. It was like that when we moved here, and the only reason I know it was a fireplace is because it lines up with the fireplace in my parents’ room, and the one downstairs. Also, there is a crawlspace above my room and I helped my dad insulate it a few months ago, and we saw a chimney, right there! So, basically, it’s just a big thing that sticks out of the room, but it looks like a regular wall. The stars opposite from the “fireplace” are a radiator (which, unfortunately, doesn’t work).
My bed (twin) is in the upper-left corner, and I have a tall bookshelf in the upper right corner. It has a wide selection of books, alphabetized by author’s last name. All of my clothes are hung up inside the closet (which, strangely, doesn’t have a door. The closet also has a window that leads to a stairwell [my room is in the 3rd floor], which is very strange, because why would there be a window from a closet to a stairs?).
The lower wall, up to the door, has bookshelves. They, too, have books on them, but also have other things, such as stuffed animals, school supplies, origami, juggling balls, etc.
The wall my bed is on is filled with maps — currently, I have two up from National Geographic. One is a map of the world, but since it is a Mercator projection, the top and bottom are very distorted, so I have a map of Antarctica next to it. I used to have a map of Mars, but I took it down because the tape died. Perhaps I’ll put it back up this week.
The wall over the fireplace has a watercolor painting of a sailboat sailing in a sunset, and beneath that is the poster us Kokonventioneers received from the AAAS (called “Milestones of Science.” The wall near the door (which all the bookshelves are against) has several more watercolor paintings of sailboats and a big bulletin board over one of the bookshelves. It is covered in Muse and MuseBlog things. The MA bumper sticker, some pictures from the Kokonvention (including the infamous pie battle between Robert and Rosanne), a screenshot of Robert’s Lightbulb Joke, and some other random things.
My walls are covered in wood paneling, which can make it quite dark in the winter because it doesn’t reflect back any light. Since my room is on the top floor, the ceiling isn’t flat — it is angled and shaped like the roof. Hanging from my ceiling light is a Chinese Lantern, and my ceiling is covered in constellations made from glow-in-the-dark stars. My floor is made out of tile (dull pale green with black speckles).
My door has a picture of Bush with red eyes and a Voldemort-nose (intended to make him look like Voldemort) and a big “John Edwards” presidential sign. I should probably take that down, but I don’t have anything to put there instead, and then my door would look so empty. I also have a sign next to the Bush picture which says “Es muy agradable ser importante, pero es más importante ser agradable.” (It’s very nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice.)
That was probably all very boring, but oh well… *sigh*
my room is really weird shaped. it shoud be an ordinary rectnagle but it gets all crooked in the corner. it is shaped like this.i think.

the door and –
i will continue this in another post becouse of my shrinking typing box
nother double post. the compter messed up my map so just imagine a rectangular room with a messed up corner. my door and closet are in the north side(bottom of map) and my window is on the south side. it is square with a semicircle on top. it does not fit into the normal ciling so there is a 2 foot spade on the south side athat goes all the way up to the roof so it is pointed. the rest of my ciling is flat. i have chrismas lights hanging from the corner between of thw pointed part of the ceiling and the normal part. i want to paint my walls green. they are currently white. i have a lot of stuff tacked to the walls. it would take a very long time to describe the rest of my room so i will stop. my typing box shrank again.
my room is entirely teal. with a light blue ceiling. ’nuff said
also i find the piles of books, music, dirty clothes, and random homework add something to the general look of the room
although right now it’s very clean, because i just had relatives over. it looks weird.
My room is painted 3 colors, orange, green, and a lighter green. It has my guitar, a desk with a note pad and pencil/pen ready all the time, stacks of books covering the floor, the top of my dresser, and my white bookshelf is overflowing with them too. On the desk/nightstand behind my bed, the flowers I’m pressing at the moment sit with tons of text books, dictionaries, and other heavy books on top of them. Beatles posters cover the walls, and my Abbey Road painting is hung above my bed. My trophies, and medals sit atop my bookshelf in a small spot where there are no books. I have a Jack and Jill bathroom that connects my room and my sister’s room. My stack of Muse is on my bookshelf in a magazine holder, though not all of them fit so they are constantly falling and knocking over all the other books on that shelf.
here’s the shape of mine, it’s pretty big.

oh, whoops, the bathroom is the one in the lower right hand corner.
My room is a Mess of Books! I will say no more.
My room is a total mess, but i have a tendancy to spontaniously redecorate when bored. The walls are covered with pictures (boith of friends and from old calenders) as well as comics. my filing cabinet is covered in stickers. my floor is carpeted with random stuff.
the only organized part of the whole shebang is my bookcase, which is in hight order.
2 – My summer plans exactly.
11 – Pantry + bedroom = sounds cozy!
My room is probably about the size of a dorm room, but the walls are at crazy angles because it’s on the top floor of the house. The ceiling is low, which is perfect for me, but there’s a light fixture in the middle of the ceiling that my tall friends always run into. We didn’t finish stripping the paint off the walls before we moved in, so now they’re mostly white, but there’s a big patch on the ceiling and part of the walls where you can see the layers of original wallpaper. I liked the rough spot, so we never repainted after all.
The furniture is pretty standard: shelf, two dressers, bed, nightstand, desk, and a random table that ended up in my room because there wasn’t space for it anywhere else. The shelf is metal, but everything else is wood. This house was rented before we bought it, so there are a bunch of names written on my closet door from random people who used to live here.
I like to think my room has a sort of “dreamy gothic pirate ship” theme, but in reality it’s pretty random. So far I have on my walls two full-sized pirate flags, Prague postcards, other odd postcards, ribbons from KJCL and NJCL, fliers from local shows, pictures from magazine ads, decorative plates, a chart of New Zealand sheep breeds, anime posters, pictures from various crazy activities with friends, quotes, maps of Prague and Paris, album covers, band logos, pictures of favorite authors (Lovecraft, Gaiman, Bulgakov, etc.), a poster of kittens on a bookshelf, horror movie posters, pictures of horror characters, a bunch of Lovecraft-related items (“vote for Cthulhu” bumper stickers and such), a purple plastic skeleton, comic strips (Pearls Before Swine, XKCD, Lio), etc. The door has three signs on it: “Aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi,” Kiwi crossing, and a “keep out” sign with the various ways of saying it in Australian slang.
Most of the decorations are on the walls, but I do have two lawn gnomes set up by the door and a sailor statuette and carved wooden platypus on my desk. Other than that, there are usually lots of books, notebooks, school papers, and clothes on the floor. I am not tidy.
30) ….your room sounds so exciting. Love the poster of kittens paired with horror movie posters! XD And pirate flags, that’s so cool.
My room is just blue…I used to have 9000 posters up on my closet but now I just have one giant Miyavi poster above m bookshelf. The most interesting thing about my room is that bookshelf. I have a fan from Versailles, a coin purse from Italy…in which I just discovered forty dollars! o_o Anyway, I have two Japanese paper dolls things from Japan, a little Swarovski crystal hedgehog from somewhere in Europe, a musical carousel horse…a lot of stuff from trips other people have taken lol. My room’s pretty quiet, but that’s just fine.
Actually, my room is very messy right now, so I should clean it……..
Anyway, my room is pretty much a square with a closet on the far corner. There is also an open entryway into my sink and then the bathroom, in which my sister and I share. The most distinctive feature is my bed (takes up most of the space). The space around the pillow is entirely covered with stuffed animals. I collect them, you see. I have 2 dressors on either side of my bed and another window/ dresser thing. I don’t really know what it is, but I fill it with my art stuff. I have several posters on my wall. (my favorite is “Peas on Earth” its so cute!) However, I also have a lot of blank space on my walls because I have several prints that I want to put up but haven’t gotten around to it.
My room is actually 2 (small) rooms put together. In area 1 (front) I have a bed, a dresser, and 2 bookshelves, along with my Muse collection :-). In area 2 I have a 3 bookshelves, a closet, a cabinet, and a desk. The walls are white.
By the way, how do you get points?
This is my room…

Not to scale, but it will do. The cut-off corner is where my door is.
My room is covered in ugly pink/brown flowers that have gradually faded over the years to to look like a blobby mess. My parents have redone every room in the house since we moved here 7 years ago except mine. *sigh* its smallish, so my full sized bed takes up just about everything.
any additional space is taken by the large desk, the large bedside table and the large pillow that have fallen off my unmade bed. i do have a rather large walkin closet but the floor of that is covered with 4 stuffed laundry hampers, 2 walls have drawers for the clean laundry, 1 wall is covered in books and the last wall is of course the door.
33-You ask for them. Would you like 400 piepoints? *Gives*
I’m making a post for this thread…
Red-tailed HAWK
Perhaps I should have explained my room better….
My room is not actually a room, it’s a small building separate from the house. I live in a 500 sq. foot one room house, so a few years ago I “moved out” into what we called the wash house. (because in a tiny house like ours there’s no where to put a washing machine.) We cleared out a lot of stuff from the wash house, and with a few transitions it’s become my room as I have it now.
The building is a rectangle, with large windows on either side. It has a porch on the front, with peeled tree trunks for support and two hammocks. (The outside is painted a dark brown, like the house)
There is a screen door, and then a wooden one that has turned all silvery in the weather. Entering through the door you see directly in front of you a large bookshelf (made of walnut) over the queen sized bed on the left hand side of the room. At the foot of the bed is a blue colonial style trunk, usually with a few straw hats and books piled on it. In the space between the wall and the trunk there is a wooden crate turned on it’s side to make a small book shelf/table, on that is an alarm clock, camera charger, lime green fan (in summer) and a handful of pencils.
Behind the door (when it’s open) is a small table pushed up against the walls with two violins cases and a concertina stacked on top of each other (and my shoebox of Muses underneath the table) and a mountain dulcimer case propped up next to it between the table and a denim beanbag chair fondly known as “The Butt Trap” when in service, but it’s commonly covered in clothing, books and heaven’s knows what.
On the right side of the room as soon as you enter the door is a large shelf for canned foods, (this is where the pantry part kicks in) it is covered in a pretty blue and green striped fabric. Just past that is a rubbermaid container for storage and a box of squashes in it. Then comes my desk, an elegantly carved walnut piece from Pakistan that I use mainly for storage of my papers, pencils, a few books, and other items that would otherwise be lost somewhere else. In front of that is a box in which I store my shoes, which are constantly overflowing and creating a tripping hazard. Moving toward the back of the room is the washing machine, above that is another shelf with more canned foods on it. Farther towards the wall are a few lard cans with dried/preserved foods ion them, and another bookshelf that is made out of bricks and recycled plastic boards that I keep my schoolbooks and overflow on.
The walls are, as I said before, covered mainly with horse posters, and a few Colonial Williamsburg buildings with one tall ship, and a few pictures that my Mom’s friends drew for me. (A beautiful one with the Chinese symbol for “to listen” and a horse) I also have some paintings, some were just there because there wasn’t anywhere else for them, and one is of HPBs.
One of the windows is covered with a bulletin board that has pictures and postcards from different pieces of my life; a picture of myself and another interpreter at Jamestown, some postcards of the ships there, pictures of the Zodiac, pictures of Circles, MuseBlog items designed by Lady B. and a picture of a ship that she sent one time and a few other bits and pieces from different things I like to do.
[/long and probably boring post]
My room is weird. I have three white walls and one red wall. There are two desks that are so cluttered that I don’t even use them. My dresser is in my closet. my loft bed never made because making it requires amazing acrobatic ability, which I lack. My door usually only opens halfway because my snare drum and random clothes block it from opening entirely. I only really go into my room to sleep.
36, may I please have some piepoints?
Another weird thing about my room is that I have a eagle statue in the corner, a computer that doesn’t work, and, wait for it, wait for it, PENGUIN BEDSHEETS! I KNOW! Ok, anyway, my acoustic guitar has to be re-strung, so my electric is sitting there with my old acoustic that used to be my sisters. A giant, paper mache model of a dragon is hung from the ceiling, and a bean bag is in the corner with a purple lamp that looks very out of place. The my room looks like a sixties room. It has fluffy light orange carpet, two lava lamps, and a brightly colored rug that is right before my window.
40~ Cute. I have a set of sheets that has Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata printed on them.
Uh-oh, I can see our new topic: what do you have printed on your bedsheets? Never mind…..
oh, we’re doing intense descriptions?
my room is ginormous and very rectangular. My bed is on the end by one of the windows, running the long way. Next to it is a three-shelf bookshelf on one end and a random shelf that i use as a bookshelf on the other end. My amp is usually plugged in along there but at the moment it’s down in the basement. I also have my ipod and phone chargers in that general area. Moving along, there’s another window on the right side as you’re facing the bed, with a little kind of indentation or something ruining the rectangle shape slightly. In that little corner is my music stand (which is covered with music, hats, bags, scarves, pins, and anything else it can hold), a beanbag and a few pillows, and usually a bass guitar but that is in the basement along with the amp. Right next to that area is my desk, which is absolutely covered in old homework, random papers, cds, and pretty much anything else i want to throw on there. Same with my dresser, which is right across from it and usually has the drawers hanging out in a way that is guaranteed to vex my mother greatly. Somewhere in between those is a rolling chair (an extremely squeaky, small one without armrests, but what can you do?) which usually has a pile of clothes and maybe a few library books on it. Next to my desk i have yet another three-shelf bookshelf, and across from that is the door. On the end of the room is my actual bookshelf, the big one. Next to that bookshelf is another door that goes into a tiny room with two kind of shelves or steps or something that i use sometimes to sit on (when it’s not freakishly hot in there, which is most of the time) or more often to throw random things on. On the other end of that little closet-y room thing is another door leading to the attic.
Aaand, that’s my room. i think i got most of it, but i’m actually in the basement right now so i can’t really tell. Oh, and the whole room has sloping dorm ceilings (if you couldn’t tell already from the attic thing, it’s upstairs)
35) The crowdedness of your closet reminds me greatly of my own. Not that the stuff is mine. When we moved into our house, my mother decided that my closet was the place to store all of my sister/step sisters clothes that they couldn’t wear anymore. So, my closet is filled with stuffed boxes that aren’t even mine. I barely have room for my own clothes. *thinks about a trunk full of boxes going to Goodwill*
My room is an odd sort of shape, with a high ceiling and beams across it. It’s all purple, with purple butterfly wallpaper. The bed is a queen, and it has a fluffy green blanket covered in kitty fuzz. There’s a tall green bookshelf with tons upon tons of books, and next to that is a green chair with a feathery pillow. Next to the chair is my radio. Then at the foot of the chair is an ottoman with musical notes all over it. There’s a bunch of shelves next to the closet, taking up the entire wall, and the shelves are covered in stuffed animals and pictures of my friends. The closet has 2 bulletin boards attached to the doors, and they are covered with interesting artifacts. Inside the closet, there is a back wall and it’s covered in posters of all shapes and sizes (Happy Bunny, Harry Potter, Jack Sparrow…) Then after the closet, you get to my door, then a shelf covered in magazines (Muse included :D)
(Sorry, comment box shrunk…)
Then my desk, big and green, covering the entire wall. It’s covered with all manner of stuff. Then my dresser, with a big mirror, my cosmetics/books/drawigns piled up into a whirlwind of chaos.
And that’s pretty much my room.
My room is medium-small, with light pink walls and a white ceiling. I have plastic glow in the dark stars all over the ceiling, but sometimes they fall off and I have to sit on my bed to tape them back on. My bed is a loft with a blue starry comforter and a really messy desk underneath. I have three shelves dedicated completely to my collection of plastic dinosaurs. I have two windows with blue sparkley-ish curtains. During the school year, my backpack and homework are on the right side of my desk while my duffel bag for xc or track is on the left. And that’s it… no wait. I have an ancient dresser that pretty much takes up the whole south wall. I put dinosaur posters over most of the wall space, and NOW that’s it.
Right now I have green bedsheets with white polka dots on it. My collection of Postcards is taped onto my door.
My room has purple walls and wood floors. When you walk in you’re in a little alcove, then you turn into the big area. on the wall with the door is my dresser and closet (which is a big mess) across from the closet doors is my bed that has a comforter with purple flowers and parrots on it. Nest to my bed on the other side is a purple shag rug and on the wall is a bulletin board and a panda calendar. Across from my bed is a bookshelf, a desk, and a music stand.
My room is all messed up right now, because we’re about to knock out the walls and put new ones in and paint them and put in new furniture. So right now, my room is painted YELLOW echhchch *dies* but it’s all graffitied from my end-of-school party because we wrote on the walls. There are two bookshelves on the wall, full of random junk I missed putting in boxes, an overstuffed closet, a beanbag, a fan, a mattress on the floor, and a stool with all my current library books leaning against/stacked on it.
And two Harry Potter posters, and that’s about it really.
46) You must really like dinosaurs. I don’t think I could have stuff like in my room. I don’t like the feeling that something is staring at me, especially giant lizards. *shudder* I remember the time one of my friends gave me a calendar of a music group for my birthday. After a few days, I couldn’t take it because it looked like the band members were constantly staring at me. I ended up giving it to my sister.
31 – Thanks.
I suppose they’re not really horror “posters” since they’re just printouts from the internet, but then again I guess being “posted” on the wall automatically qualifies them as “posters”?
Crystal hedgehog, ooo…*gets distracted by thought of pretty shiny thing* If you had a crystal hare, you could make your room a mini H&H!
41 – My sheets have multicolored frogs. The room/tiny house of your own sounds awesome!
Multicolored frogs? AWESOME!
I just got 2 beatles posters!!!!!! They’re hanging over me bed.
Probably the most interesting thing in my room is an old chair I got at a yard sale. It’s re painted green and has an orange peace sign on it. I use it to hold my CDs.
My room decor consists mostly of boxes and Rubbermaid containers full of stuff I’m sorting. My desk at work and my kitchen-table art studio at home are more expressive of my personality at present. Here’s what people see when they walk into my “office”:
Hm, I see the Muse of Bad Poetry is in residence.
54- !!! Tall ship!
Last night I redecorated my room. My door is now covered in postcards, and my fan has moved to another wall, above the newly-rediscovered curio cabinet. My glow-in-the-dark sheep are stuck around my closet door, my bookshelf is alphabetized, the piece of fabric above my bed has been replaced by a homemade Risk board, and the rather ugly brown lamp now has a lightbulb in it, rendering it able to give light.
I also dusted.
My room…well, I just moved into my room, so it’s still rather nondescrit right now. What I think would be pretty cool, though, would be to give it some sort of jungle adventure kind of theme, with hammocks everywhere that I could put my millions of stuffed animals in.
Actually, if I didn’t live in an apartment, I would paint the walls orange and draw rocks and cryovolcanoes on the walls. Then I would decorate my desk with oranges and carrots.
um, my room is very small, with bookcases lining the one wall, the walls are a pale green, the panels are scarlet, but as for decoraing I really don’t have much. My room is always having one half finished canvas painting on display, so that’s about it. But my sheets are pink, My futon cover is scarlet, my pillows are scarlet, and my duvet is a Tommy Hilfigger craetion with denim on top and regular fabric underneath. It’s nice and heavy to keep out the drafts. Next to my bookcases is where I have my shoes. Other than that, there a simple folding table in front of alarge table that I use as a vanity, adesk built into the bookcases, no tv, computer, radio, or any other electronic fido. There is a dog bed, and then her various toys scattered everywhere.
Ooooo! I’m going to make a mobile in my room with origami animals! I’ve already made a bug one for my sister. She like insects. Now I just have to convince her to bring it to colledge…….
I want to redecorate my room from the ground up…
Well, at least I’ll be sleeping in a dorm for three weeks soon… *is excited*
I wish I could have a room to myself. I have to share it with my brother.
62- Ew. I used to have to share a room with my sister. And then I had a lovely big room, which got torn apart (right after I’d cleaned it, too-argh), and now I have a little room, which actually looks pretty good, apart from the closet.
Right now, my room is totally messy.
Oh wait. It always is.
What’s weird is that in the morning, when ever I call to my mom from my room, my puppy darts up the stairs and leaps onto my bed. It happens ever morning. And than when she settles down she licks the carpet
62, 63 – I used to share with my brother, but I just recently moved upstairs. It makes it quite a bit easier to get to sleep at night, without him bugging me to no end.
I used to share with my brother, but when I was 7 my parents had one of their friends in construction build a new addition over the bathroom.
Now I have a new bedroom!
65, 66- I live in an apartment, so we can’t build an addition, and we have no extra rooms. At least I have a bunk bed.
67 – Yeah, that helps. When I shared with my brother we were in the basement, which was huge, so he got one end and I got the other. (But he could still drive me nuts!
)
My room is a mess right now. Because we went shopping for CTD and I dumped all of my crap onto the floor of my room. So now I have sheets there, shampoo, kindling (don’t ask), books, a bag for my new Swatch watch (you can see the gears and everything!), etc. etc. etc.
I put this article from my school newspaper on my wall… It was this pretty funny list of do’s and dont’s…
70 – Like what?
54/56~ I love that painting that you did Rebecca!!! I have the print (just like the one shown) on my bulliten board.
68- WHOAH! Didn’t know that emoticon was possible…
69-……………………. Ok, I can’t resist, I’m asking about the kindling.
Kokonilly, WHY THE HECK DO YOU HAVE KINDLING IN YOUR ROOM?????
Wow. I couldn’t imagine being in the same room with my sister now. I used to, but when we moved to our new house, all of that changed. Currently, if we had to live together in the same room, we would hate each other. I recognize that my room is the neatest in the world but I never let it get too far before I clean it. On the other hand, my sister is a terror. She never makes her bed, and worst of all, all of her clothes are on the floor. Her dirty clothes are dumped in her bathroom, while her clean clothes are dumped in my room, forming 2 huge “clothes mountains”. Sometimes, it gets to the point that the mountains are so big that you can’t see the floor. Half the time, my sister 2 dressers remain empty, all of their contents strewn elsewhere. Plus, she never cleans her sink. although, she is paid every month to clean all of the bathrooms in the house. I stopped trying to get her to clean my sink a long time ago and just did it myself. I think she’s finally cleaned by now, since she’s leaving for colledge now. But, really, for a while, her white sink was found to be *shudder* red with dirty plates and cups strewn all over it. *shudder*
This topic is getting borrring.
How about awesome movies? I’m a sucker for romantic comedies, and one of my favorites is 27 Dresses. The plotline sounds cheesy, but seriously, I thought it was pretty cool. Elizabethtown was also good. I used to be obsessed with Hidalgo, but now I think it’s kind of lame. Harry Potter is cool, even though they’re totally different from the books. My favorite movie ever is Stardust; my parents flayed me alive for ordering it on Pay Per View 5 times.
73 – Um… well… I took all of my old school assignments and shoved them into every box I could find and put all of them into a paper shopping bag. There. Kindling.
Why? …I dunno.

75~ Elizabethtown???? Heavens, the only good thing about that movie was the soundtrack, and I don’t even like pop music.
Well, no actually the best thing about that movies was that I saw Orlando Bloom in person at the EKU swimming pool where my Mom was at a blacksmith’s convention, and my friend and I went swimming. He was even talking to my Dad…..funny, eh?
I love all these great British romance movies…..yurp, I’m a sucker for those….last night I watched Sense and Sensibility…..man, Hugh Grant is handsome, too bad he’s nearly as old as my father. *sigh*
(82) When I saw “Sense and Sensibility” I kept yelling at Kate Winslet for being an idiot. How could she be so blind to Alan Rickman? Such a silly wench.
Alan Rickman? ♥ ♥ ♥ He’s amazing!! He’s such a wonderful actor, I love him as Colonel Brandon because he’s so wonderfully kind, and as Snape he’s delightfully evil. Knowing now how the last books ends, I cannot imagine any other actor who would be able to play the part. He’s great. Except, he’s OLDER than my father…… *double sigh* and Colin Firth……. All these glorious English accents and historical outfits……. *dies*
(P.S. My parental units say “Hi”.)
Well, the good thing about movie actors is you can always enjoy them in their prime. In “Truly, Madly, Deeply” and “S&S” Rickman was still in his 40s — ancient to some, but believe me, a great decade in many respects, especially for male pulchritude. Females, too, for that matter. Old enough to have that “lived-in” look. When I was in my teens many of my favorite drool-overs were already dead before I was born or before I was old enough to drool for the right reasons…erm, *regains composure*
Oh, and fond greetings back to the parental units in question. I’ve been meaning to write since I got back and I really will very soon. *waves*
68 – See, that’s one of the advantages of frequenting another forum that has the same smilies.
83- Me too!!!!!!!! I love yelling at movie characters! High five!
77- Wow, nice repitiore. I’ve been meaning to see Sweeney Todd for awhile now… I love Helena Bonham Carter, she’s so kewl…
82- *swoons* You lucky. I dunno, I just liked that movie.
84- *bows down to Alan Rickman* Favorite actor ever!
83) Wow! I do that all the time! You know, in those scary movies, where there’s an alien or something and the main character walks, alone, into a dark room while eerie music is playing? At times like that, I begin screaming at the character….
“You idiot! Get out of there! What are you thinking! Run! Eek! No! It behind you!”
Hmmmm. My favorite movie is The Lion King. I love it! I cry every time Mufasa dies. I’ve practically memorized the film from watching it so much. And I love the music! Imagine how mad I was when they took out one of the original scenes for Zazu to sing some corny song. Arg! *will stop will not start rant*
83 – I scream at characters all the time.
“YOU IDIOT!!! It’s not THERE, it’s THERE!”
Even in TV shows, it’ll be like:
“This bit of hair was here, that means that:”
Then I’ll pipe up “You’ve got the wrong person.”
“–We’ve got the wrong person!”
85~ Oh yes. What’s sad though, is when you, your best friend, your best friend’s mom and your honorary grandmother all agree on which males are to drool over.
I don’t watch a LOT of movies, but I do very much enjoy them…..hmm, I absolutely adore the Music Man with Shirly Jones and Robert Preston. And The Sound of Music, and West Side story (yes, I always cry at the ending), and nearly all of the ones in the A&E romance collection. (Of which we now have both volumes 1 and 2!! *is happy*)
*Shirley (sorry.) I tried to fix it and I got a page with the WordPress logo and a message that said “You are posting comments too quickly, slow down.” I though it was a different message before?? Oh well, maybe I’m wrong.
54 – Craaw & Koko campaign stickers, awesome!
74 – E-Town! They filmed some of that here and everybody went absolutely nuts for those few weeks because Orlando Bloom was wandering around town (I wonder if the E-towners were mad that they filmed in Louisville instead of E-town for those scenes?). I still haven’t seen the movie, though.
77 – Stardust ♥ ♥ ♥!
Is Eagle vs Shark good?
I have a bunch of those on my “to see” list, but I never seem to get around to actually watching them.
82 – EKU! Dang, I missed a kokon opportunity. :p
88 – I love yelling at stupid characters in bad horror movies. Actually, I just love bad horror movies – you know, the kind with outrageous plots and no budget.
I haven’t seen it, but apparently there’s one about killer rabbit hordes; I wonder if they’re hot pink?
92~ I was there when they were filming Elizabethtown, at a blacksmithing convention with my Mom, on the EKU campus. We saw Orlando Bloom, there. My friend Frances and I were at that point, of course, obsessed with anything to do with the poor guy. But we didn’t harass him too much. Really. Fran just tossed a beach ball in his general direction and then came back giggling after he handed it to her.
It was funny.
I’m sad. My kitty had a heart attack last night and he was dead on the basement floor this morning.
That’s the second pet in two weeks that’s died. My dog Molly died last week.
Very sad news, MissSwann. I’m so sorry.
94~ Oh, I’m really, really sorry about that.
I wish I knew what to say that would make you feel better, but all I can say is I’m sorry. I know I’m just and internet friend, but if there’s anything I can do, let me know. *hugs*
94-
I’m sorry.
94 – Awwww… I’m so sorry!
94- Oh, no! *hugs* *more hugs* *infinite hugs*
94 – Aww!
-hugs and choklit-
*Gives MissSwann Hugs and Choklit*
95-101- Awww, thank you all. You guys are the best. *nibbles choklit*
It’s really my dad that should be given choklit/hugs. He got Molly 3 years before I was born, and Simon (the kitty) when I was three, before my brother. So it’s really like losing two of his children, in under 2 weeks. He’s been crying and depressed, and he hasn’t gone to work. You get the picture; the Swann residence has been a very sad place.
102 – *gives choklit to Swann’s dad*
94) Oh no!
That’s terrible! *gives choklit + cheese + hugs)
94 – *comforting choco pies* Sorry to hear that!
Losing pets is so depressing.
102~ You know, that may be part of the problems with his not letting you see one of your best friends (as you said on the RR thread). If he’s really stressed out it might be contributing to that decision.
I’m so sorry for you all. Give your entire family a hug for me, even though they probably don’t know who I am.
Commiserations from me too. Pets are members of the family, and losing two in succession is really rough. Hugs and choklit to you and your dad.
Oh Dear. I don’t know what I’d do if I lost Matty, even though she’s old and fat.
*hugs*
I know how that feels. And I will probably have to go through it again soon. My ferret, Bandit, is really old now… past her life expectancy… even when you brace yourself it still hurts. *choklit*
As for rooms, one thing I did to mine was add curtains around my bed. I don’t mean those frilly see-through ones that are useless but for mosquito netting, they’re on tracks around my bed like the kind in hospital rooms but the curtains are dark green sheets. It is perfectly dark at night and is like a warm cave filled with pillows and blankets. Plus it is a double bed, so it is a biggish cave
It is my Fortress of Solitude and a good place to be alone.
Thanks to all of you, and my mom says thank you for the hugs, MF.
BREAKING DAWN QUOTE:
Alice: “I’ll play you for it. Rock, paper, scissors.”
Edward: “Why don’t you just tell me who wins?”
Alice: “I do. Excellent.”
*squee!*
I don’t get it. Why didn’t he know who won by looking at your hands? Doesn’t he know the meaning of rock, paper, and scissors? Or am I confused…….
111- Alice is a vampire that can see the future. So, Edward wants to save time by not actually playing rock paper scissors, he just wants Alice to tell him who wins.
Yay twilight!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhhhh. Interesting. But, what if Alice was lying?
113- Edward can read minds, so that pretty much clears that up.
oooooooooohhhhhh so thats what twighlight is about???
I LOOOOOOVE TWILIGHT! I can’t wait for Breaking Dawn!
This isn’t about decor anymore so much as it is a random thread.
That’s true, and we certainly don’t need two of those. Please pick a new subject and stick to it. Suggestions?
…Twilight: yes or no?
Or… Nationstates: yes or no?
Or… well… I’ll think up more later.
England!
Soccer!
Meow, check your e-mail.
Summer vacation…? *suggested tentatively*
Movies! We had that going for awhile…
Has anyone seen What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? Omigosh, it’s my new favorite movie. It’s about this teenage guy (Jonny Depp) living in a small town with a mentally retarded older brother (Leonardo Decaprio). He falls in love with this girl who travels all over the USA (Juliette Lewis). Everyone with a sibling with a mental disorder needs to watch this (and everyone else, too). I loved it.
123- Let’s not do movies. That went on way too long in the other thread.
*drops into middle of subject change*
My room is dark green, has three windows, a closet, large ugly awesome antique desk, an old bed that belonged to my mother a LONG time ago, two bookshelves (one that has books/junk and the the other just has junk), a dresser, a Thing That Has Stuff In It, yeah, that’s about it. I have sound foam on my walls which I pin things to, mostly xkcds and things I find funny at the moment. There’s not much else at the extended moment. There is a mess on EVERY flat/horizontal surface. My parents call it the fire trap and refuse to go in there. I scare them by running in there at full speed and jumping onto the bed. That stunt will eventually ram the bed into the wall or I’ll mess up and run into the wall/pile of junk/map. *grin*
How about we talk about *thinks hard* um *scratches head* uh, paintings? Pets? What kind of jog you want? I can’t think of anything good right now hmmm…
I was watching Doctor Who on Saturday. It’s always creepy. This time this absorbathon thingy sucked up this guys friends. He was uber creepy.
My mom made me clean my room today, because we’re getting our windows replaced.
Cleaning Room; verb and noun: Clearning a walkway so that the people that are replacing our windows can actually get to the windows.
Alternate Definition: Cleaning up 2 games that were spread all over that section of my room. And voila! You’re done!
Favorite stores? I like target, and most thrift shops.
I love garage sales and thrift stores! (lots of bargains)
Target is really nice too. OMG I almost forgot CLAIRES! (sighs) Sry for being girly couldn’t help it.
Ummmm…-doesn’t go shopping often-
I like thrift stores and book stores. I hate malls.
Hi penguini! *waves*
Barnes and Noble. Amazon. I don’t go shopping too often.
130- I love Claires! And just because you do doesn’t mean you’re super girly. All my goth/tomboy friends shop there more than Hot Topic.
I loooooove Hot Topic, and the Harry Potter Warner Bros. website store. And, of course, Musery Loves Company!
135 – I don’t shop at Claire’s or Hot Topic!
I don’t shop if at all avoidable.
i do voluntarily book shop, but only rarely. That’s what libraries are for.
137 – Agreed.
I love going to book shops, but we rarely buy anything. Just read a couple chapters of whatever sometimes… and feel book covers and/or pages. I love new books.
I hate shopping. Except for going to get video games and books.
Book shops are awesomely great. The reason why:
They smell good.
They have some many books.
You can randomly pick up a book and read until you leave with out somebody yelling at you.
It’s so quiet.
There are books of so many different shapes, sizes, colors, there are paperbacks, hardcovers, Young Adult, Children’s section, everything!
And much more. So much more.
Book Stores are Awesome!
140- I completely agree. Shopping usually involves much more walking than it should, but with book shopping, you can just sit down on the floor and read.
Video game shopping is almost as good, because usually it is confined to a small space where one can see everything at a glance.
Beavo Shops At:
HOT TOPIC YAY
Super Target, they have almsot everything
Borders
Spencers
Musery
local Esotericia
Kholes (for boring things like jeans)
All those awesome people’s murch like Matthew Lush and B. Scott
And of course… CAFEPRESS!!!
Shopping = Gahck. I’ve never liked it. Almost all of my clothes are purchased at thrift stores, and everything else is purchased at local grocery stores and such. My mom loves Target, so she gets a lot of stuff there.
Personally, I like Musery Loves Company. If I were rich, I’d buy the whole store.
I don’t understand why anyone voluntarily shops. Stores are places to buy things. What’s so fun about that?
Personally, most of my clothes are hand-me-downs. On the occasions when I do need to get new clothes, I usually get my sister to do all or most of it for me.
I just make my mom do it.
145-I would agree! Except with books, because the atmosphere is so welcoming, and you get to read!
147- As musch as I could go on about how irresponcible that is, I do it too.
(144) We’re glad it passes muster, Pan! Unfortunately, Musery Loves Company seems unlikely to rival Lands’ End in the near future. So far in July we’ve sold one bumper sticker.
150- *gasp* Oh noes! I’ll need to buy some now!
I bought a bumper sticker that says ‘Republicans for Voldermort’.
He he he he… *is against republicans* (not in a bad way)
150 – *will purchase stuff immediately*
my favorite store…. amazon.com
153 – I know! I looove Amazon!
151- Oh, I saw that.
My favorite store is…it’s a tie between Powell’s Books and this teensy little vintage shop in my town.
But I like rummage sales too.
155- Rummage sales?
I tend to shop mostly at thrift stores and stuff. I got the dress I wore to the eCyberMission awards dinner for $8.50, and it was really pretty.
157- I got a dress for a fancy dinner party at a thrift shop! It was so pretty, and my uuber rich grandma asked me where I got it.
150 (Robert): Oh, believe me — if I had the money, my entire wardrobe would consist of Musery items. And things like pants, etc. would have Musery stickers on them. Alas, my pocket is not quite that deep. THF and I are contemplating some more purchases, though. We’ll probably get some H&H/I Beg to Differ/Kokopollihedron things with signatures, or something. *tries to decide*
My favorite bookstore is McLean & Eakin in Michigan — they’re really small and have a nice, cozy environment. I went there last year for the Deathly Hallows release party. They blocked off and entire street in front of the store for the release!
I’m not a big bookstore fan, though. I’d much prefer the library, and we have a flamablamablous one here in Pittsburgh. I’ve probably been to the library at least ten times this summer, and I keep getting more books, so now I have about 50 all stacked up against my wall, waiting to be read. They also have a great inter-library loan system so you can get literally any book you want.
I’m going to get a Muse Academy sweashirt and an “I Beg to Differ” t-shirt.t
Speaking of shirts, there’s a really cool one that has a bunch of holes in it and says “I fought the law.”
161 –
Oh, and “I beg to differ” is any better?
163 – At least it doesn’t have any holes in it.
There’s an old* song, “I Fought the Law and the Law Won” by the Bobby Fuller Four, to which the shirt undoubtedly refers.
* Old = released before the GAPAs started listening to popular music. Ancient = popular before the GAPAs were born.
165 – Then what’s “new”?
My favorite stores are Borders because they almost always have the book I’m looking for (and they smell really good) and Gordmans witch is this really cool store that sells incredibly cute clothing for really, really cheap.
165-there’s a song i know
any bookstore really. CVS (i spend so much money there…). hot topic is fun for people-watching, and you occasionally find something that’s not too ridiculously expensive.
and the apple store, of course. an absolute must.
(166) “New” is any song released after the GAPAs stopped listening to popular music — which in my case happened in 1987 or so.
165- Oh, I love that song! And you make me laugh Robert!
Oh! Oh! Oh! My friend Macy’s dad is the manager of Hot Topic in the mall! I can get a 5% discount from her! *sweeeeet*
(169) Ditto for the year.
I guess we’d better allow an exemption for Paul in this definition.
Yes, he operates on a vastly different time scale.
159- I like the library better too. But if I’m picking favorite stores, Powell’s deserves a mention.
My favorite stores? BOOKSTORES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, duh. Preferably with comfy chairs, good books and a nice selection of CDs as well, and affordable prices…… *sigh* Yesssss…
My favorite would have to be Borders.
174-Agreed. I am currently boycotting Barnes&Noble. Maybe I’m weird. I don’t know.
This might be backtracking the conversation a little… maybe not. Sorry if it’s the first one.
I’m thinking of painting a mural-type thing on the biggest wall in my room, on the left side. Its proportions are about the same as a standard piece of paper, horizontally and it’s sort of a periwinkle color. My bed takes up 2/3 of the right side, and the remaining 1/3 on the right is empty. Now, does anyone have ideas for what I can paint? I was thinking… something cute-ish. Vintage/retro maybe. I’m not really too sure yet.
Ideas, please.
How about a picture of the Beatles?
And yes, you are backtracking.
Hmmmmmmmm. My favorite store of all time is Ed McKays. This store is AWESOME! They are a used book/CD/movie/DVD/poster store. So, they sell tons of stuff that’s hardly been used at all and is EXTREMELY inexpensive! I mean, for example, I got 4 books the last time I went for 8 dollars, and one of them was a hardback! And they were all in perfect condition! Another thing I love about Ed McKays is that you never know what you’ll find. I mean, they have such good business that what they have one day is entirely different then what they will have the next day.
177) Hmmmmmmmmm. Well, it depends on your interests. Of course, the periwinkle kind of throws everything off. It also depends on how much you are willing to put into this and how good at art you are, in which I have no idea.
An idea I would have would be some kind of landscape. Perhaps a city or a valley. Something like that. Actually, the first thing that popped into my head was Venice, but I don’t know why. But that would be very difficult.
The one bad thing about murals are that when you paint them on your wall, you’re stuck with it. You can’t just ball up the art and throw it in the trashcan if you don’t like it. That’s why I like paintings better. But that’s just me.
179- Yes, the periwinkle is what I chose at age 8. I want to paint the whole room over in a more attractive shade of blue, but that’s too much work. *lazy*
I think the only problem with something too difficult is the time- this should be finished by the end of summer, as I’m never going to have any time once school starts
Venice would be pretty though.
I was thinking of a landscape, but I couldn’t think of something attractive. A cityscape actually sounds pretty good, if I make it colorful and don’t use too much gray…
178- Sorry! I forgot to ask about it back when rooms actually were on topic
180-We all do it sometimes.
My favorite store is probably Borders. For many reasons.
Then Hot Topic of course has the many band shirts and merch, as well as anime and comic books, so that’s awesome.
I don’t like Wal-Mart. I used to, but I changed my mind. It’s nasty there. Same with K-Mart.
Our town doesn’t have a bookstore; it’s very depressing..
182) That’s OK. My town doesn’t either. Of course, my town is small. We decided that we could finally be on the map when we got a McDonalds about 10 years ago. In the past 2 years, we have gotten a Lowes and a Walmart. Besides that, pretty much, the only shopping stores we have in our little downtown are hardware/farming stores, antiques, drugstores, and Food Lion. No actually, I take that back. We just got a Lowes Foods.
The shadow of Wallgreens stretches to overcome CVS!
Hey, you know what? OK. We’re a really small town, right? So why do we need 4 different drugstores? It’s so hilarious too, because they’re all practically across the street from each other. Mwahahahahaha!
Oh! You know else was really funny that our town did?
They bought 5 story ladders for all of our fire trucks! But the tallest building in our whole town is barely 3 stories. Our tax dollars at work, I tell ya.
169, 171 – Hm, interesting. And, yes, allow an exemption for Mr. Baker.
Kiwimuncher-Your town sounds similar to mine. But not quite. But mine is fairly small as well.
I am hoping the downtown area will start to have more little stores. Then it would seem more historic. They were starting to get some neat stores and little restaurants, but then the buildings that they had just finished remodeling and such burned down.
Red-tailed HAWK
I like the Kinokuniya in Little Tokyo whenever I get to go there, but the one closer is also nice for its size. I like some stores at South Coast Plaza but the clothes there cost overmuch so I rarely buy anything except at H&M when we do go there. And even then it’s hit or miss really, I’m so picky about clothes. No matter where it is, really…
183~ yeah, I live just on the outskirts of a bitty little town. So bitty that it has no post office, and we all have mailing addresses in the bigger town 6 miles off…..
And in my town there’s nothing. Well, there’s a tavern and a haunted house, but that’s only open at Halloween (the haunted house). the larger town people only know about because of a shopping center nearby. 
How thrilling.
I like Borders. And WonderBooks, although their stores are sometimes a bit chaotic.
I live in a moderate size suburb of Chicago, and it isn’t on the map period, even if we have the only Games Workshop store in the Chicagoland area (I think).
P.S. Games Workshop = Awesome!!! Except for the LOTR miniatures. Those movies were awful.
I live in a HUGE city. It doesn’t seem like it though.
Barnes and Noble. I go into there after a movie at Spinelli and a smoothie at Fresh City and my mind just goes blank into a haze of happiness and book-trance. (i.e, OMG! THAT BOOK IS OUT!!! *slurp slurp* I LOVE THAT BOOK! *slurp slurp*)
XDDDD
Arg. I love Barnes and Noble but it can really be a pain. Whenever I REALLY want a certain book they either never have it, or it’s in hardback (too expensive). I always end up starting a new series there because I can’t find anything else and then, after I buy the first book, they never get a hold of the second one. Which means I almost always have to get my books at the library or Amazon.
192- You should try Borders, even if they are looking for new ownership.
192- Get a membership and save 30%.
193- There aren’t any Borders around here.
I like Tatnucks.
What is Tatnucks?
195- It’s a bookstore. I don’t think it’s very popular, but it’s a good store nontheless.
Oh. All bookstores are good!
197- Yay book stores!
Libraries; not so much.
Our library is horrid. You hav eto order practically every book from the head library and then wait three weeks to get it.
Well, my favorite store…. there’s a really nice one on the pedestrian street where it smells of incence and spice andf they sell really nice clothes that are very fun. turkish pants, twist shirts, hot pink stuff, everything.
But my favorite store that i love to look in but admit I have never bought anything in there?
København Sparks
They sell everything- Dolce and Gabana, Miss Sixty, Mustang, Levi, Friis & Co, Valentino (or they used to), Devon. But it’s kind of frightening to look at a pair of jeans and then see that they are two thousand crowns ( four hundred dollars.)
My town’s library is nice. They used to be this tiny little building but they just recently got a larger building and it’s really great! They have a nice selection too. Although, right now, I’m waiting for what I assume is the last Maximum Ride book from the library, but the waiting list is SO LONG! I’ve already been waiting for a month and a half and the librarian said that I’ll still 15 people behind on the waiting list!
201) Miss Sixty :O
Know what you mean about the jeans, I found this really nice pair at Diesel (I think?) and then I saw the price tag.
I like the store Forever 21. It’s my kind of stuff-floaty, a bit girly, and it costs basically nothing. And here’s the best part-it doesn’t tear right away! I ‘ve had a pair of their jeans for three years and it hasn’t lost color or gotten torn.
203- I like diesel. I went in to the KBH Diesel store with my friend Nellie, and watched in amusement while she tried to find a pair of jeans that didn’t fit too snugly over her back end. They had a very nice window set up in there. A black lorry (not full sized, a miniature) was parked and then the manequins were sitting on the bonnet, wearing the summer collection.
204- Wow. Three years? My BikBok jeans lost tehir color after one wash. Of course, they were black. What coor are your jeans? and, um, do you still fit them? After three years?
Manequins. Manequins are SCARY! They all have these inhuman looks on their faces, that is, if they have faces. And the ones without faces are even more scary! Whenever I walk past one, I can always imagine it suddenly leaning down and grabbing me! *shudder*
206- That actually happens in a game. It’s called Condemned: Criminal Origins.
Also, is there anyone who doesn’t really care what they wear as long as it fits and isn’t offensive. That current tally for that is 1.
no the current tally is 2!
*random thought*
Right now, I am listening to Elvis Music.
206- Yeah *shivers* they are creepy
206- The male ones are creepy, especially when they don’t wear anything, like when a new collection is coming in and the store hasn’t decorated yet. THEN THEY ARE CREEPY!
I went shopping today. Has anyone heard of the brand Sandwich_? It’s very good. i used two hundred and fifty (fifty dollars) in a Sandwich_ store, and then a thousand two hundred kroner (two hundred and forty dollars) in some other stores. I am happy. I really just love shopping for stuff, becaus ewhen i shop, it’s stuff that is too creative for other people. You guys should see me. i get into discussions with the cashiers about prices. ”Look at this dress. It’s spring collection. It’l be out dated next spring. the fall collection just came in. you should give it to me for half price as a favor for taking it off your hands.” It doesn’t always work, but it’s fun.
I love my new clothes. Two pairs of jeans with extremely high waists (they button up past your belly button) a tunic- sleavlessjacket mix, five shirts (one with black beetles on), etc…..
211– Oooh you’re making me want to go shopping. I looked up that brand and the only store they have in the US is in Las Vegas…but their fall collection does look nice. DD: I’m so tired of all the stores at the mall. Sigh. SIGHHHH
205~ I have jeans that I’ve been wearing for at least 2 years. My oldest (and favorite, ): ) pair of 4 years or so gave out a few months ago…..I’m considering patching them up and still wearing them, and yes, they still fit! (They were loose when I got them, now they fit perfectly! Or would if I fixed them.)
I usually can’t stand shopping. Actually, it’s a rare time when I actually like it, especially shopping for clothes. I hate finding clothes and then having big dramas over what I think I should be wearing and what my mom thinks I should be wearing. (Although I must say that’s she’s getting over the idea that I should dress just like her, I like her clothes on her, but I hate them on me.)
Usually when I get “new” clothes it’s from Goodwill, Act II, or a free box, or Musery loves company, now. My shirt collection is gradually weighing in favor of muse themes….although today I’m wearing an old rag that I got for free at a yard sale and have had for a bazzillion years. And the writing on it still makes no sense.
Bookstores are definitely the way to go when shopping.
Hmmmmmmmmm. If my family ever goes clothes shopping, it is usually at either Goodwill or Walmart, seeing as those are the only stores that have clothes relatively close by. If we want clothes, we usually just end up ordering them online. Or course, I’ve never been much of a shopper. Except for book shopping. I LOVE book shopping!
209- This thread stay on topic. If you want *random thoughts*, go on “random cool stuff”.
215) Alas. I just could not resist.
Well, does anyone want to change the subject? What should we talk about now?
Elvis?
UFOs?
Elephants?
The game Hangman?
How about the upcoming X-Files movie?
I love Books of Wonder, in New York! It has a whole section of Oz! *Is an Oz Devotee*
211- *Googles* Ooh, it does look cool. The nearest store is on the other side of the country, though.
205-I usually always fit into my jeans. I try to stay the same size as much as I can. And even when I outgrow them…hey! They turn into SKINNY jeans! I usually just get navy blue or light wash jeans, never too dark, so that they match my clothes.
206-Have you ever read the book ‘Minnesota Mall Mannequins’ by Jonathan Rand? It’s along the same lines of that, only the mannequins are actually aliens who want to zombify all humans and make them sooper mannequin slaves. *shudders* I used to read ALL of his books when I was a kid.
-213 I don’t really like shopping either. Especially going to the mall.
220- I guess a lot of people are realizing our fear of mannequins.
222) They are rather intimidating. I mean, people like figures without faces that never move, but somehow seem to change clothes every time you turn around? That’s a little fishy, right?
220- I read those. Creepy but awesome.
Anyway, anybody want to change the subject? I waas looking through pictures just now and I saw a picture of me in something like pre-school and I had the coolest hair cut. I was frowning (well, not really frowning, more like “not smiling”) in that picture though. But another one, which I think was in kindergarten, I was smiling and I had the coolest haircut. I usually don’t care about my hair but it was THE MOST awesome haircut I have ever seen.
Hehe, anyway…
Is the new subject “old photographs” or “haircuts”?
I just got a haircut three weeks ago, actually. I have a face-frame now, and my hair is brown with red highlights and down to about my shoulders. It curls at the end. I like it a lot.
I dread going to the hair salon. I want my hair to be shorter but if I ask they practically shave my head. So for the past year I’ve had a face frame which looks pretty good, but now my hair grew. Now it looks like I’m wearing a big furry mop on my head. (Shut up! It’s not that funny!) (maybe it’ll be funny later)
I have insanely long hair!
I used to have insanely short hair, now I have shoulder lengthish hair.
When I got to a hair salon one time and I show them the exact picture of the way I would like my hair, they gave me a BOWL CUT with BANGS.
It was creepy and I immediately got it cute shorter in a different way.
I need to find a hair salon to go to. My hair is getting longer and longer.
Hmmmmmmmm. I got my hair trimmed a while ago. It is brown and goes a little past my shoulders. I used to have bangs, but I grew them out 2 years ago. My hair is always either down or in a bun on top of my head. However, no one seems to notice when it’s down, they only seem to notice when it’s in a bun and then everyone tells me then that I should wear my hair down more. But I wear my hair down more then I do up. Which is confusing.
I never where my hair up. It’s just uncomfortable to me. I don’t even comb it or anything, it just looks fine in anyway. I just hate it after I take a shower, it becomes all like, poofy and hard to keep it the way I want it. And than a day later it flattens out, but than I have to take another shower
. But during the time it’s wet, it is totally straight.
My hair is relatively short, but it’s nice. A lot of the people here at CTD compliment me on it.
eh. My hair is shorter in the front than it is in the back, eg, my bang sgo past my chin like some kind of iclandik pony. And the i got my hair layered because it is so heavy. all in all, i don’t use my hair to present my political or musical interests. …
But seriously, bihawks are the awesomest thin in the world!!!
Bihawks? What are those?
I’m guessing two mohawks.
So an ordinary mohawk is really a monohawk?
Whoah. I guess it is. But how would you have 2 mohawks? Er.. monohawks? I suppose you could one on either side of you head, creating a kind of trench effect in the exact middle of your head. Hmmmmmm. Interesting……
My friend Matt had a monohawk for wacky hair day once!(if what you say a monohawk is is true…)
I wouldn’t use the word “monohawk” off the blog. I made it up.
(Well, I might use it, but not in the expectation of having anyone else understand me.)
239 – Don’t worry, nobody EVER understands me.
I do not make any sense at all to them… I’ll crack up at the sign of a pie of a Kokopelli.
how do you get points? and how do you make them?
204- “Almost nothing”? I beg to differ! And it might not tear immediately, but tear it does.
As to the present topic…
/ 
And because no one else in my family owns a hairbrush (Opal’s hair isn’t long enough, but how does Mother do it?) I am totally hairbrushless.
I left my hairbrush in the country.
Mother: Brush it out with your fingers. That’s what I do.
Me: but your hair is thick! The tangles just fall out!
Mother: -is unsympathetic-
Me: -mopes-
But when my hair is brushed it’s quite nice. It’s all layered now, and it was lovely and swishy for a while, because the hairdresser used a blow dryer on it. When I use a blow dryer, two-thirds of our house ceases to have electricity.
My hair is a little past shoulder length, and straight, but so incredibly frizzy… I straightened it for the almost the whole past school year, but I’ve quit since school ended a month ago.
My hair is brown. Flat. Plain. My haircut is similar- down to my shoulders. Blah.
242- Do you shop there?
243- My hair is untameably frizzy as well. Straighteners, hairspray, gel…none of it works!
The best way to fix bad hair is to stop caring.
-246 exactly. However my mother decides every once and a while that it needs to be slashed off, though it’s currently almost shoulder length.
245- I did once.
248- What happened? None of my clothes from there have ripped or torn yet, but I guess another insight wouldn’t hurt.
246- But I do care! and i HATE frizz!
249- If you’re so worried about people seeing frizz, wear a hat.
250) But the you have hat hair!
hee hee
Then wear a hat 24 hours a day so no one ever sees it. Or get a putters cap. Those don’t give hat hair.
Unfortunately, that would be problematic at school, since they aren’t allowed.
Hey! I know! We should talk about hats! Hats are awesome!
Especially big ones! 
Yes! Let’s do that. As long as they aren’t about haircuts.
Actually I have a better idea. How about video gaming?
Video gaming? Erm…….. You mean like video games? I don’t now anything about video games……….. I like free internet games……….
I’m pretty sure those count.
Haircuts? Neh.
Right now,I am playing a game called Dino run. It is very addicting.
259-Fun Game! Fun Game!
my hair is about chin length and layered. It used to be a ways past my shoulders but in June I chopped a lot of it off to donate (again). Plus I like varying the length of my hair
Has anyone ever played Territory war? It’s a classic.
my room has light yellow walls a bookshelf that says ‘requests’ (it was from my mom’s library when they remodeled) a dresser, a mirror on top of it, a bed, a radiator, a table covered in things, a floor likewise covered in things. It is nice in there though.
my favorite store is the local speculative fiction bookstore.
260) Oh, you have played it? I’m so excited because I just got all of the Super eggs and now I’m trying to beat the last speedrun on Insane! Tis very exciting.
I just got my hair trimmed a few days ago. It’s really short, and kinda shaggy. I think next time I’ll get it cut even shorter. I like it like this. ^_^
I know we’re done with this topic, but I actually enjoy clothes shopping. And the occult supply store downtown is pretty awesome, because it smells like candles and have maniquinns that look like they’re going to get up and say hi.
My hairstyle is currently called the “Sleddhead” (named after William Sledd’s haircut, which it looks like) but at my next haircut, I might end up getting the emo* haircut that everyone says I’d look really good in.
*I call it emo for loss of a better word, I reallly don’t know what else to call it. But saying it is “emo” is really steryotipical.
Emo haircut? Hmmmmmm. Sounds interesting. Frankly, all people that I’ve seen that are considered “emo” are sad. I don’t like being sad. I don’t know why they would want to dress like they are sad. I’d think that if I were sad, I would dress like I was happy and maybe, the happiness of my clothes would reach inside me and lift my spirits.
I got my hair cut really short last June when I donated my hair(again). Then people started mistaking me for a guy(for a couple of community service events I went as ‘Kenny’), so I’m getting that short again. As a joke I bleached a stripe down the middle and tried to dye it blue. The dye was fail so it has changed colour many times since then. Now it is a little longer than shoulder length and hasn’t been cut to look like anything in particular. Somewhere in the middle, people started calling me emo ’cause I wore black so much. I’m not, really.
The stereotype is (mostly) wrong. I know some cheerful emos.
I hate my haircut. It’s all boring and… ‘blah’. I want to get it layered/feathered like Maximum Ride in the first book with pink highlights… or like Hayley Williams, lead singer of Paramore…
264-I’m not that good! I only have 2 Super Eggs! Are they all underground?
264) No, they aren’t all underground. The hardest one for me was the one in the second level because you have to jump up to get it. However, in one of the levels (I can’t remember which) a huge asteroid hits near you and if you crawl inside it, there is a super egg inside. The last egg can only be captured if you play through all of the levels on the insane mode.
Yah. OK.
Are we talking about hair, hats, or random games?
I’m confused.
i am talking about hair. i havent really brushed my hair seince i wnt to valleyfair with kokonilly,and before that i hadn’t brushed it seince the end of school. i have problembs brushing my own hair so my mom does it. i have blond hair that goes about to the botom of my shoulder blades. it is nt that messyeven though i havent brushed it. i have an idea for an awesome hairstyle. i came up with it in history. side bangs, 2 tiny pigtails on the top of the headthat do NOT create fountain things. they are sort of pointy.a couple inches of hair in back,to keep neck warm. it is not fun having lice . i had it the summer before 4th grade. i watched a lot of food network.(shrinking typing box!!1)
Interesting…….. I used to have very thin hair, but then I grew out my bangs. Now I have fairly thick hair. It’s very annoying when I put it up because nothing can hold it up for long. It always flops. *is frustrated*
La dee da…….. Conversation = dyeing
How about favorite recipes for a new topic? I loooooooooooooooooooove the recipe for Lembas my friend Genni sent me. It’s really good.
It doesn’t seem worth changing the topic now, considering it’s July 31! Perhaps that could be Topic 1 for the new thread?
