I have a bed. I have a wooden queen sized bed which I put together myself. I have far fewer injuries than I expected to have sustained by this point. I have a room that smells like pine. I have a manly, frontiersman-like feeling, despite the fact that the only tool employed was an Allen Key.

Handiness is commendable.

[alex_adventures]

I suppose then that mock-handiness would be mock-commendable?

[vetch]

Yes, but I really do see the actual assembling of it as commendable. We have a mutual friend who has also purchased a bed, but didn't set it up for some time - in fact may not have as yet. It's very hard not to draw comparisons, even though, really, what a man does with his pre-packed bed is his business.

Well, it doesn't look so great when one's ladyfriend comes to visit and all one has is a mattress on the floor. Besides, I like puzzles, even those which you can work up a mild sweat completing.

Also, when assembling it, did you get the urge to make the allen key say 'Help me, I need tungsten to live... TUNGSTEN!'

I know I often do.

[alex_adventures]

Oh good lord, so much. When I picked it up I went 'heh...his name is what he is.'

Nice work there, Jeremiah Johnson.
