Yes. I Now Live In My Parents' Basement.
Aug. 26th, 2009 11:46 pmI have moved to The Downstairs! I am now in the room that was formerly my brother’s—a very green sort of place, smaller than my own but also of a less stuffy temperature, and pretty comfy.* Since it’s originally an office, I’ve also got a huge shelf and lots of tiny drawers for to put stuff!
I’ve been slowly moving said Stuff, although I’ll probably leave some of it upstrairs. My favorite book collection is edging down here by the armful, though, as is the shit on my desk. Also down here, of course, the dolls, who are all sitting around waiting to be set up in their back-to-school clothes.** Or, in Laurel’s and Daja’s cases, autumn clothes. I’ve still got to get some posters up on the walls and decide what to do with the Earthquake Shelf. Mom’s going to help me with that tomorrow.
The only drawback is that I really like it down here in my basement cave. I am hoping that I don’t wind up disappearing forever down here. Y’all remind me to go upstairs from time to time, okay?
*Especially after the hideous mass vacuuming of a whole nest of newly-hatched spiders. My brother’s room is the Secret Spider Burial Ground. Normally I tend to just let our ubiquitous, possibly venomous spiders just go about their business, but the little buggers were just starting to swarm out of the sac, and we can’t have that. I said a silent apology to EB White for the whole debacle.
**Except for the severely under-clothed Kyōko, who needs a school uniform. Unfortunately, I am afraid of trying to do a sailor collar, even though it’s in my pattern book. (For the record, even though I eventually found some good references, doing research online for “Japanese schoolgirl uniforms” is an unsurprisingly hazardous undertaking.)
