I am so dirty and disgusting, but I think I have to go out to get something to eat before I can deal with a shower. That's OK, right? I'll put on deodorant and a fresh shirt.
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because books.
Can we see pictures of the new apartment soon, Jesse? And yay for Homer -- poor old guy. He's had it hard for quite a few weeks.

Maybe? I'm terrible with taking pictures and getting them to the internet, and the apartment really isn't anything to look at anyway, so....

I definitely have furniture to get rid of. I can't quite figure out what, though...It seems wrong to ditch the kitchen table, even though I almost never sit at it. And the coffee table is sort of extraneous, except I really need something to put my feet up on. OMG OMG -- I just got it -- I've been wanting to buy storage ottomans for no good reason! I will ditch the coffee table for those.
OK, that's a start.

Excellent call.
I want new furniture. Our Salvation Army cast-offs are getting grungy(er).

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I need to get rid of furniture too. A desk and a two drawer piece to my component entertainment center are going. Too many drawers to hide Stuff. Stuff I do not need.

We also have the biggest, ugliest bookshelves ever, very circa 1973, donated by a friend. I love her, but I want new shelves. Something without fake paneling on the doors. Something with doors, optimally.

All of my furniture is from Ikea, save the endtable from my great aunt's house and the bible stand from the Salvation Army. Oh, and the childhood dresser I've wanted to get rid of since I moved to my LAST apartment. I'm just going to put everything for free on craigslist. Maybe tomorrow, actually.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I finally got that half bookshelf I'd been needing a few months ago, and it saved my apartment from the encroaching mounds of books and papers, etc. I love it so much.
I would like more/better storage space, but I don't have anywhere to put anything else, really--I'd have to see what I could swap out for something taller or with more shelves, and I'd rather just try and stick to buying ebooks and not tip the delicate balance I have now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Hello, storm! [link] A few minutes ago my bathroom door slammed shut and some empty boxes in the breakfast nook went flying across the kitchen. I'll bet it's fun out at Lollapalooza.
