I decided not to move into the shotgun house with my boyfriend. Instead I just moved out above a head shop in the middle of downtown Lexington, KY on the University of Kentucky Campus. My apartment was once two efficiencies hence the matching closets, built in bookshelves & the fact that I have two bathrooms.
This is my moving precess. Everything is a train wreck currently but I have plans to finish EVERYTHING before my vacation this weekend. Expect another much prettier post very soon. This is where I ask more annoying questions and for advice.
( Use youre imaginations, people! )

I had to go back and edit this because I forgot to add any actual info! I'm oracle_me, and I live in Toronto, Canada. I'm actually moving to a loft next weekend, but I wanted to take some quick pictures of my current bedroom - hence the terrible quality! I've been in this house for just under a year, but never really felt entirely settled here. It's a restored, Edwardian period house in the east end of the city, hence the fantastic, high ceilings. One of the great things about this room is that the entire south wall - the one you can't see - is closet space, lined with cedar. Pretty amazing. Anyways, hope you enjoy the pics; I've loved peeking in at yours ;-)

I'm a GEEK and very proud of it.

So if you love Star Trek, Manga, Movies, Bright Colours and Music, what you waiting for...

A Fresh Start

Hello all,
I'm wanting to make a fresh start next year and part of that makes a full room revamp. I've been brainstorming on what sort of room I want, but I don't really know where to start. I have a whole bunch of crap that I need to sort through rather than relying on my many boxes and draws to hide things. I really want it to look arty and creative without looking cluttered. Sadly I can't buy a great deal of new furniture, the most that I can afford to get would be a some second hand arm chairs and decorations and some Ikea textiles and bedside table.
I have a big room, so it looks cluttered with too much stuff, but I really would like a more arty yet mature style. Below is what I was thinking:

Have any of you redone your room on a very small budget? How have you managed to do it? I'm really looking for a fresh start next year and I feel that making my room an expression of myself is the way to start... I just don't know what to do. Help!!

Does anyone have this table from Ikea?

How sturdy is it? Do you think it would be able to support a small television?

**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009**
So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.
And finally some answers to some questions:

While some of us long to escape the cold, dark stretch of winter for hot tropical beaches, for others, there's nothing quite like whoooooshing down those shimmering sugar alps.

Today I moved my bed into my closet and put up these icicle lights.
My books are on the shelf above.
I plan to sleep here once all of my schoolwork is done in two weeks :)
[edit]
DON'T WORRY!
My clothes are in a safe place; an Ikea unit on the other side of the room.
Fortunately (or unfortunately) I don't have a lot of clothes so they all fit.
I'm hardly a real girl haha
