everything here is really old and kind of falling apart- its all part of the charm though. its also small enough that everyone pretty much knows everyone. and if they don't know them on a personal level they at least know of them! let me introduce my house mates first and as i go ill tell you about everyone in town. since i'm bound to meet a bunch of them.
my house is called Shrubbery. its the house that looks like a bush is eating it. its right down the street from the Math and Sciences building! which is prefect for me because that's where most of my classes are at! anyway! back to the house.. its full of all this cute art work and as Tori put it "it looks like Pintrest addicts live here" and i don't doubt that many of the ideas came from there.
when you first walk in there's this little living room with a big ugly couch covered by a lime green bed comforter and other various seats that match the couch. there are Chinese lanterns hanging in the corner and skateboard shelves filled with books. the plain beige walls are covered in maps and quotes and paintings. drift wood, key racks, old luggage, type writers, and so on decorate the room! its so cute and odd all at the same time. and there are always boys in the living room playing call of duty or some other intense game while they're laundry goes though our machines for cheaper than the laundry mat.then you walk through a stickered door way to the kitchen. which is packed full of food- im not sure how much of it (aside from mine) is good. anyway! There is a big light strand on the wall thats spells out "home" and sheet music and book pages cover all the very ugly unsightly parts of the kitchen (the box of wires and such). our oven reminds me a lot of an old dryer we had when i was younger called Napoleon. its cute and old but it makes the house sooo hot! (and the AC doesn't work so it gets hell hot in this little place.) the fridge is covered in chalk board paint and written on all over the place! there are only 2 drawings that dont change. an Anchor made of words from a love song and a compass key. i have no idea why those get to stay but they do. and all that's left in there is a little creeky table.
a door in the kitchen leads to the laundry room, and a door in there leads to the back yard. its pretty simple.
the other side of the house is our bedrooms and bathroom! the hall in between is filled with magazine collages. they hold everything from good looking men to quotes from the office, and even old school newspapers that are from the 1930s or something like that.
our bedrooms are pretty much a good description of who we are which cracks me up. if you didn't know us, spending about 20 mins on each side of the bedroom would give you a pretty decent idea of what we like and how we act. (that goes for each bedroom)
the bathroom is gross. thats the best word i have for it. but it has a flushing toilet and running shower. although the shower feels like its stabbing you the whole time youre in. which makes for some short showers. i think that's the point though. move fast don't waste water, don't die.
thats the house. its a pretty cool place.
