An excersize in "too many months early, but still"

Don't you have something you like to think about when you get bored or bummed or in general when your mind drifts? Right now, I'm thinking about how nice it will be, in August, to have my own room. I mean, there are alot of general, practical reasons for me to have my own room. Mainly so Dave can get a decent night's sleep again without me wandering in at 1AM being the exact opposite of quiet (even if I'm TRYING to be stealthy). So really, I'm going to be doing Dave a tremendous favor by moving out.

What will also be awesome will be getting to put up all my lame and nerdy posters again. I'm definitely putting the Buffy Poster back up, and I also have my eye on a Johnny Depp poster as well (see, I'll admit it). But I swear there will be no life-size cardboard cutouts of Legolas. I swear in general, but here I'm serious. Seriously.

I'll also have my lovely queen size bed, which my parents gave to me. It's a lovely dark wood, with little pinecone finishes on the posts. My mom tells me that Dad rescued it from being thrown out, and that he took a terribly long amount of time and care to sand off the paint and refinish and stain it. I have no idea how old it really is, but it creaks horribly. However, it was the most wonderful moving-out-on-your-own present from mom and dad. I can't count how many times in the winter, in the afternooon, I'd hide under the the down comforter of that bed and fall asleep. And when I got it from Wheeling to Madison, and slept in it for the first time after all those years of dorm room extra long twin mattresses. . . . it was just heaven.

I've been trying to think of a theme for my room, and it's somewhere in the range of Thai Pavillion to Moroccan Love Den. I'd really love to put a canopy/mosquito net like covering over the bed, but I don't even begin to know how I'd make that happen. Ehhhh, it will probably just end up being cozy and geeky, and that will be quite enough for me.
