You won't recognise my room in a few weeks. I'm not sure I will. ...Well, aside from the whole "No difference in furniture" thing, anyway.
In preparation for my desire to make over my room, I spent quite some time today pulling the posters off my walls. And cursing mildly as the plaster came away with the Blu-tack. I even took most of the stuff off the door - the only thing still blutacked to it is my placecard from David and Kristy's wedding. Though I left the movie tickets attatched to the CD rack.
I also took the longstitch (that I did in the week of the Year 12 Formal and haven't found time to do anything about since) and the print that I got on the last trip to the USA (i.e., 2004) to the framers, picked out some frames and left the pictures with him. He even gave me a discount of $1.75 to make it a nice round number. Still, $250 is a lot more than the "Aw, $80 each?" he suggested over the phone - but I'd assumed it would be. He said there's going to be a turnaround of about three weeks for them. I've paid in full, so at a pinch, parents can pick them up for me.
When Mum gets home, I'm planning on putting in an order for that On The Terrace print. They're doing a 20% off deal today only, so I figure I might as well take advantage of it.
We bought a new ceiling lamp for my room a few weeks back; we need to get an electrician in to install it at some point.
And on that note, you get some photos of what the room looks like without images blutacked liberally to it. The flash makes it look even pinker than it actually is. (Hey, I was like eight when I chose the colour; name an eight year old female who's favourite colour is not pink - or purple, at a stretch. Fortunately, Mum put her foot down about the lurid shade that was my preference at the time.)
Also, here's a photo of the artwork I bought at the Easter Show the other day:  Of course, you have to imagine it without the protective cardboard corners, but I'm sure you're creative enough for that.
I'm overjoyed when she understands
I could make her chuckle if she gave me half a chance
The most she ever gives me is a second glance
She never gets a kick out of my punchlines...
