I Stop Now, Call Me a Quitter....

Not done, but getting there. I finished setting up my makeshift 'media center', and now I'm organizing crap and bringing things from the bedroom to display in the living room.

As I was moving action figures, my dad came down on his way to the garage and looked it over, and asked about where I was putting what.

I told him my original FFVII figures were going on one tower, and my Cowboy Bebop story figures were going on the other. He looks it over, nods, and then asks:

"But where's Sephiroth going to go?"

Because apparently Sephiroth is so cool, he can't languish unseen in the bedroom. So I moved my cable box back and put Sephiroth on one side of the box, and since D is about the same height with his stand, D will go on the opposite.

I'm tempted to position them with their swords out and aimed at each other.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've so far moved all my anime (I had a lot more than I thought I did, and half these DVDs have never even been opened), all my series boxed sets (Highlander, Lost, Kingdom Hospital, Criminal Minds, Harsh Realm, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Buffy, Legend of Zelda), all my movies, and a selection of comics, trades and manga. Oh, and I found my original Star Wars boxed set - the very first boxed set ever released, after Return of the Jedi was on VHS. I doubt the tapes are even watchable anymore, but still.

My living room is really shaping up. I need to get rid of this Osprey picture hanging over my couch. Which means getting one of my Ruth Thompson prints framed and hung in its place. I've got 'Shores of Avalon' and 'Howl'....

Once I'm done with this tower, I'm grilling that panini my mother grabbed for me this morning. Because I'm beat.

Mmmm panini. :D

Sounds like you've had a busy day!

Yes! it's...chicken and a bunch of cheeses and some dressing. It was on sale, and they're having steak, so my mom was kind enough to get me something I can eat. :D

I HAVE! I was thinking that I bought all this crap because I like it, and what's the point of it staying in my bedroom where I never am? The only thing I do in there is sleep, otherwise I'm in the living room.

Ooooh, that sounds yummy!

Sounds like a great reason to me! XD That's what our unused 2nd bedroom/computer room turned into, hehe. Though we end up having random geeky stuff all over.

It does look good!

I'm much more comfortable in my little space now. It feels a lot more like it's mine, and not still my parent's.

I know what you mean. I almost never move from my little corner, hahaha.

I think I've done all I can do with it for now, and I'm feeling particularly pleased with myself.

I haven't scrubbed floors or made cookies, though.

Good job! You deserve cookies now XD

You need to find your camera and take pictures. I wanna see what everything looks like because I am bored and interested like that.

[identity profile] theladyfeylene.livejournal.com 2008-07-16 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It's around somewhere, I'm sure. And probably lacking batteries, knowing me. :D It looks good so far! It's a total geek pit. :D

I'm very happy with it. Once I have new pillow covers and couch covers, and replace that one picture, it will be a wonderful geek pit - nothing but anime, geeky TV shows, manga, action figures, video games and various paraphernalia!

I did a massive re-arranging of all my books and DVDs onto bookshelves the other day, so I empathize. Also, hey, your dad knows who Sephiroth is, that is so cool. My mom told me that the Vincent I have perched on my bookshelf was scary and I should move it. >>;

It's tedious, unpleasant work, but damn is it rewarding! Hahahah, yes, my dad is where I got my love of all things geeky and gaming. :D He's a video game playing, Star Wars loving, uber geek. :D He always likes seeing what new figures I have.

I don't know, I'm actually fond of certain parts of it. I'm kind of one of those really neurotic people and I go to my happy place when everything is in perfect order. It's just the in-between time when I take everything down to rearrange it that drives me nuts. D<

That's so cool. I got it from my big brother - my dad's sort of a geek for sci-fi, but only the kind that I find boring. My mum like genealogy, of all horrible boring things. D:

I'm glad you're getting so much work done! It sounds stressful, but it's better to have it done than undone. I wish you luck. Also, is your subject title from the song 'I Can't Decide' by Scissor Sisters?

I'm taking a break now, to keep from being too stressed! :D And I'm very productive feeling. I think I'm going to grab food and work on my [livejournal.com profile] 30_lemons claim!

Yes, it is! I love me some Scissor Sisters!

I don't see any reason for the name calling, you've done quite a bit today :D. But I can agree with the beat part, I rode all the way to campus today on my trike to pick up my cap, gown, and clean out my locker in the art building.

Hey if you get a break, pop over on Gchat if you feel up to it (and poke me if you do)
