I like Ikea. But it can suck the soul out of any shopping excursion.
That's why they provide Swedish meatballs in the middle--to keep you going.
None of it means a damn thing.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

But the old fixture lacks poetry. Or a soul. Or style
This is my condo. It was only converted over from apartments last year, so it's all generic blah. I've finally started getting rugs and stuff to pep it up. Light fixtures are next.

I know. I"ve been to Ikea with Robin just for the meatballs. At one point, I had a frequent diner's card at the Ikea restaurant.
That makes me a freak, doesn't it?

Kalshane, if you're ever in that sitch again and you have access to a U-Haul, ask them about renting a waterbed pump. I did that the last time I had a waterbed mattress that was leaking too much to be repaired. Saved me hours of stress.

Well, not just that, but it's indicative. (:

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ikea freezes me cold.
My father made some comment about my apartment being so very me. In paranoia I read it as self-indulgent and having gone native, but really it's about me being single and childless and being able to, well, indulge the self. And I think he wants to steal my stuff.
Huh. The chick from Murder In Suburbia is the one that buys it in the boiling fat in series 1 of Spooks.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
ita, you wanna borrow Emeline for a couple of days?
That way, I can get to Ikea.

Sorry. I can't pass up a straight line. You'll have to turn up when I arrive in SoCal next month and give me a talking to. (:

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
(I'm glad Victor beat me to it)
I like Ikea too.
