*kerflumph*
-I have been up for 27 hours. I am just about to flumph, but I have to blog today's good news:
-I have a bed. We... went to a giant fleamarket outside town and found some random wrought-iron bed parts lying about. Each one of them had a 15 e sticker on them, so we started adding them up. "This bit and this bit make 60 euros..." And then the guy who had put it up for sale just happened to walk past and say "damn, this bed used to be 80 euros, but it's all 15e now. Yeah, that's for the whole bed, not the individual bits. It's been sitting and gathering dust for years and it's hardly been used. Take it." Cue Grouse and Grousedad going O_O and :O in stereo. It's a pretty, plain wrought-iron bed and I've always wanted one of those! The only problem is that it doesn't have a mattress, so this is going to be tricky. We might be able to get one next week, at best:/. And even plain foam mattresses for a bed of that size will cost fucking 230e :O. Eek. So we'll have to stalk the recycling centre again. Or I'm going to have to sleep on Noki.
But still. Wrought iron bed. As wide as I am tall. 15 euros.
-Except that wasn't the only amazing stroke of luck I had today.
I bought this pair of curtains from a Finnish online auction site. Here's the seller's photo.
Now, normally I don't care much for thinner curtains. These are probably going to go over black darkening curtains. But what's so special about these ones? They're just slightly over-extravagantly gothy and very 2010s and a tad tacky, yes. Normally, I don't go for prints at all, especially unsubtle ones, and I prefer much milder shade variations. Plain black, maybe embroidered black, would've been more Grouse. But. Some of you may feel like these curtains are ringing a bell, yes? Terms such as "marriage proposals", "bondage", "childhood trauma" and "epic motherfucking gay" have just flitted through your mind, yes?
You would be right.
EXACTLY. NEXT WEEK, I SHALL HAVE MOTHERFUCKING DOCTOR WHO BONDAGE ROOM CURTAINS IN MY NEW FLAT.
*collapses nao and sleeps until next week*
