*facepalm* (I want a new bed, and I'm a messy person)
Ok, I conclude that I have a really high tolerance of caffiene. So, I drank some NOS -- it had about 343mg and that was in a 8oz serving. It came in a huge 22/24oz bottle.
Let's just say, I'm so buying it [even though it has a broke Red Bull taste]. I was HAPPY!
Anyway, the... weekly discussion about my lair/batcave/fortress room came about when I was in the family room, about how it's such a mess -- clothes on the floor, stuff scattered everywhere, food wrappings stuffed under my bed and elsewhere (that they don't know about -- house rule is that we can't eat in the room besides the kitchen table). I'm working on it, really. It's a bad habit, yeah, but I kinda like having stuff all over the place. I don't like it when it's too clean (and especially if I haven't done it) because I can never find anything. Call it piece of mind, whatever. That's just how I work (now).
Well, my dad said something about rearranging my bed to where I can't stuff anything on the side of the bed. Mom told me they were thinking about moving me to the back room (which is a tad smaller). That somehow devolved into me asking about a new bed frame, to free up space in my room and all of that, a loft bed from Ikea -- face it, that store is fantastic. Cheap, sturdy, and stylist...from Sweden.
This is what I had in mind:
Of course, Mom was basically hell-to-the-naw, and said I'm almost 20 years old (2 months, hurray...<_<), and it was something a... well, a much younger person would do. I looked over to my dad with a look as I told him it would save space and all of that, but he also pointed out that I still build blanket forts/tents (not ashamed of it) all because of the little Barbie tent I had when I was around... oh, 4? Not to mention, I have something of an overimagination thing going on (which I said). Of course, Mom somehow says I'm crazy for even doing that, Poppy asked how many sane writers there are (read: few) and...
Long story short, I got uhm, a bit chastised by my suggestion. Dad said there's nothing wrong with my current bed (other than the fact I keep leaving ink spots in the comforter and mattress. Sue me, I like to write in bed...) and besides, it was paid for. The loft bed is only $249...
Later on, measured my bed and compared to the Ikea bed. It would save about a foot and a half either way (which is a lot of space -- I have a Queen bed and I don't use all of it). I can deal with less space though to be honest. I just wish that the frame wasn't in all silver -- I dunno black would've been GREAT..
