78.2.C "Women have a favourite room, men a favourite chair"

Mar 05, 2009 12:41

I remember Jeffrey's favorite chair. It was this old plaid...thing. Well most of it was plaid, the rest was duct tape. I asked him why he never got rid of it, his answer was that "It came from his first apartment". When I mentioned that I was surprised his ex-wife let him keep it, he said she didn't. He actually picked it up off the curb, put it in the back of a truck, rented a storage unit for the thing, and visited it periodically.

I told him I thought he was insane.
He told me he was reliving his youth.
I didn't tell him he needed to let the plaid and duct tapped parts of his youth go.

Personally, I never understood that. Yes, I believe that where you live should reflect who you are. My condo does. I have some records hanging up in frames. My walls are all bright colors, enough space for me and everything. Though, my living room is the best part everything fits just right. It's perfect for me.

Jeffrey never liked it, clearly he is the authority on decorating based on that chair.
