Dear forums, I nearly died. I just did a complete remodel of my room. It was so fucking worth it, though, I have much more space now.

Here are photos, because I know you want them. I'm not going to post them in the thread because they're fucking huge and I'm not in the mood for resizing.

http://drnkr.ssij.org/photos/DSC00415.JPG - The overview.
http://drnkr.ssij.org/photos/DSC00416.JPG - My entertainment center. The cable on the wall is for the TV. Bottom: Wii and a PSOne that won't ever be plugged in.
http://drnkr.ssij.org/photos/DSC00419.JPG - The inside of the entertainment center. Not pictured - a shitload of PC titles that I won't bother to show. (Oh, don't worry - the AC/DC tapes are legal. The shop I bought them in just had these weird typewriter labels on everything.)
http://drnkr.ssij.org/photos/DSC00420.JPG - My manga collection, finally neatly organized.
http://drnkr.ssij.org/photos/DSC00421.JPG - Shitload of cables and games.
http://drnkr.ssij.org/photos/DSC00422.JPG - And, last, but not least - my computer.

These photos are completely pointless, but have them anyway. Now, I'm off to kill myself with all this dust. I'm allergic, you know. I need a gasmask or better yet, a HAZMAT suit.

Damn. I was hoping to hear some story of a near-death experience. Confused

You don't actually have a bed. You have a couch for a bed? :/

I scoff at your meager manga collection.

Yeah, why bother buying anything unless you're going to have an enormous collection and compare it to other people's? Rolling Eyes

As morbid as that sounds, I'd have to agree. I was mildly disappointed.

Maybe it's a fold-out.
And is that so odd? My cousin sleeps in one of those huge bean bag chairs. I can only assume it's horrible for his back.

Hey, lay off of the couch. It is uber-comfortable.

You want a story? Here's your story.

All of the furniture? I had to move it myself up to the fourth floor. Me, a 40kg asthmatic little guy with a ponytail. I also had to throw all my shit away from the room, because it was taking up so much space. It kicked up so much dust that I can't breathe now. It was, like, three hours ago.

I also had to deal with drilling holes in that entertainment center for cables. Originally the audio player was supposed to go inside, between my CDs and tapes, but I thought "Naw, fuck that shit" and it looks like it looks.

For the last half-hour I have been sneezing non-stop, while also trying not to puke. Screw you, allergy.

And leave my manga collection alone. I don't buy every new release.

Indeed, you collection is laughable.

But what is that .hack book? I love the series but never have I seen those particular books.

Legend of the Twilight Bracelet. It's a three-book series that got an anime adaptation later on. You might not understand every title, because those are all polish translations.

I...I nearly died in your arms tonight.

Must have been something you posted.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, back that ass up. Dinner and movie FIRST.

Google told me that 40kg is only 88lb.

Yeah, I'm about that heavy. People younger than me could lift me. With one arm.

People older than you could also lift you. Including my grandmother.

But I don't know why that would be important or relevant.

Sure would look awkward, though.

Posted: Sep 30 2008 01:23 pm

Ah. Twilight Bracelet. Yeah... It was just the fact that the Polish cover is so different from all the other covers I have seen..
Incestuous twins... Hilarious manga.

Also: 88lb? And you're how old? Dayumn. Most weaklings are 98 lbs. You must be a superbreed.

I'm 16. I joined on my 16th birthday, actually.

Also, the fact that I measure 162cm doesn't help too much, either. In your stupid amerikanski system: I'm 5'3".

1.8 yards and only 88,000 grams!

Are you two dimensional?

When I was 18 I was 5'4" at 115lb. I was VERY small.

On a positive note at 28 I am now 5'8" at 155lb. I am still thin. I would need to be at like 170 to be heavy.

You had to be difficult, did you? Now that you revealed my dark, dark secret, I will have to kill you.

Seriously, though. Paper Mario is a fatass compared to me.

And 40 kilograms do equal 88 thousand grams.

LOL

My bad... that would be 40,000 grams... but I wrote it as though the lb were grams. That is why we need to get rid of your more sensible measurement system and go with our stupid one.
