I Wonder What The Happy Room Academy Will Give Me Tomorrow

If I had been more enterprising, I would have taken pictures of my place as I was putting it together, so you can walk through some of the mental gymnastics with me. Alas, I didn't do that, and now I stand at a point where it's more together than not (I'd say about 70-30) and it's the touches that truly make it mine that are about to go up. Figuring out where to put the reference books, how best to organize my board games. Media has already been mostly taken care of, though if anyone has any suggestions for where I could find some bookends apropos to graphic novels, well, the suggestion is duly noted. Now it's time to start getting the pictures up, the world map circa 1988, and in its triumphant return to decoration, the MWL sign. And after many e many dollars at my local IKEA, I even have some quasi-wooden furniture to compliment it all. Which means that it's time to do some sort of open house. But that's a problem for another night. As is, I'm just happy that it's starting to take shape, and that all of my music stuff will be taken care of tonight, and soon, all my games, and then the final organization of the closet, and then I can just come home and lie on my bed for a while instead of always feeling like there's something that needs to be unpacked, re-arranged, or broken down. It's a good feeling. I love the feeling of opportunity that putting together a new place provides, but I'll be glad when I can say that I'm finally through that phase, at least for a little bit. I'm sure I'll re-arrange it soon enough. Besides, there's still more things that will help complete it. And it only occasionally looks like I'm trying to collect the modern set.
