finally the moving process is over and done with. We got all our shit from point A to point B. Now, for the unpacking. UGH! Setting up a room is always brutal. We got the big furniture how we want it, but decorating it how we want it is another story.
We never saw the place before we got it. Our roomies saw it before hand so it isn't like we were walking into the house completely blind. They were our eyes. Everything in the house is great! I have no complaints about that at all.... the only issue I have, is our bedroom. Which is suppose to be our sanctuary. Alright, so our room is pretty small as it is. We were going to make it work. We knew there was a built in ledge around half of the room which already deducted 4 inches all the way around. That was fine.
THEN, we come to find out there is an additional 4 inches at the base boards sticking out!! Some shitty plywood sticking out to cover pipes or something. So now, we are losing 8 inches on two walls of our room. This means we can't really put anything up against those walls aside from our bed because then it would be 8 inches away from the wall which would just look ridiculous. so now... our already small room is even smaller.
To top it all off, our room has water damage and we have to wait around for our landlords to fix it. Which means we're living in poor living conditions... there is a huge fucking humidifier thing to take away the dampness in our room (Which makes a small room look even smaller when you have a huge god awful ugly piece of unnecessary machinery in your room)... We can't start painting til everything is fixed.
OHHHH! I forgot, there is a gaping hole in the corner of our room with a huge fucking pipe sticking out from it which is connected to a heater. It isn't even fucking finished! what the fuck?!?!?!?! Its behind the door so I guess it could be worse... it's just the fact that its unfinished. Our room is bad enough as it is without the added distraction of a gross hole in our wall with dirt and dust coming out of it.
I just hate it because my room is my sanctuary. It really is. I like my personal space. I spend a LOT of time in my room... but when I look around, I'm truly sad that my house is not yet my home. I mean, I draw in my room, listen to music, go online, read. It isn't only used for sleeping for me. I spend so much time in my room because its MINE. It's all MY stuff and it really makes me feel at "home". I've always been that way... As soon as I would get home from school I would go in my room and play with my toys, and as I got older I would go in my room and talk on the phone to my friends. It's just always been somewhere that I "escape" to. Where I feel safe. It isn't that I'm anti-social... it's just that my bedroom is the equivalent to someones living room.
I'm sure I'll make it work somehow. I guess I kinda have to. It just bothers me that I have to wait to feel comfortable in my own house. Who knows when our landlords will get around to fixing what needs to be fixed. I'm not really getting my hopes up that it's going to be done anytime soon. Therefor I can't see myself being happy in my room for a while. Call me cynical. Call me a complainer...
I'm just disappointed.
