what i have learned today

Aug 29, 2009 01:21

Today I was attacked by my own bedroom.

Sometimes I have these really stupid impulsive ideas. At about eleven thirty tonight, the stupid idea was: My glasses have been missing for a couple of weeks. I am sure they slipped into the terrible jungle that is under-the-bed and I will find them in two minutes if I actually look instead of shoving my hand ( Read more... )

grr argh, sheer and total madness, conversations with my family, up too late, oh help, the astonishing adventures of me

I had no idea it was almost two in the morning until I read this & remembered we were in the same time zone. Why am I not asleep??

(Also, if it makes you feel any better, my sister's roommate flipped her bed over before my sister moved in, and their mattresses rest on plywood instead of box springs, only roommate didn't change screw the plywood down, so it fell through when my sister sat down on it the other morning. Perhaps there is some secret When Beds Attack! week going on that no one was informed of!)

In conclusion, ahaha! Also, I love you!

It's a pity there aren't any more... mostly because I ate most of them... :p

LOL. Oh, Jolene. I started giggling right about the Ominous Monk Chanting.

That was superhilarious. Thank you for cheering up my Saturday morning. :)

And ice cream bars/sandwiches are very delicious treats after strenuous furniture-related work. I learned this on Thursday after helping build very giant IKEA furniture. It was the glowing reward hovering the distance the whole time!

I'm a bit mystified about the glasses being behind the dresser, though. A long while ago, I developed a rule: if it's missing, it's under the bed. There are always exceptions though, I guess. :)

Eep, building furniture is especially terrifying to me as I spent several hot and miserable hours trying to put together some cheap cabinets with instructions that were clearly translated from Japanese to English with a computer or something. There should probably be an entire box of ice cream bars when furniture is involved!

Exactly! Especially as I can't think of any reason they would be behind the dresser anyway. I thought sure they'd be under the bed, since a) everything else is, and b) I frequently do stupid things like leave them on one end of my very large mattress while I sleep. Not at the foot, which is closer to the dresser, as that would require even more initiative and bodily movement than putting them on the bedside trunk where they belong. :p

Ha! This was so much fun to read. I don't normally put anything under my bed because I Know It Will (Probably)) Not Return. :P (Or at least, if it does, it will return in a frighteningly morphed form, most likely after being feasted upon by dust bunnies).

I don't put things there, they crawl! ...Okay, that is not entirely true, as I occasionally still subscribe to the Child's Method of Cleaning the Bedroom, which is to say everything gets hidden under the bed and in the closet. :p But still! They mostly crawl!
