*pokes head up*

Whoa. I disappeared for a bit, didn't I? Despite this not much has been happening, but here are the highlights.

Finally got my hair cut by our friend April yesterday, and it turns out that I last got my hair cut in May. Wow. No wonder I was approaching mullet territory. I also bought some frames for some artwork I bought in Cape Cod that were $3 a piece, which in my book is a steal.

Mom and I went back to that place The Trading Post, where I got the headboard, and managed to find a set of drawers. They need a bit of TLC, but they should work pretty well, and it turns out that when you take the drawers out it's pretty light, which is good since we have to take it up 3 flights of stairs, and as far as I know this building does not have an elevator.

Also had a weird dream last night that involved a chibi-Hannibal (the conqueror, not the cannibal). It was... quite strange. There was also an elephant running around. I'm half tempted to find the author of the book I'm reading about Hannibal, who happens to live in our town, and telling him "What did you do done to my subconscious?!"

Oh, and I made a silly drawing based off of something that happened in that roleplaying game. It was also my first attempt to do some skin shading, and it sort of failed. Oh well. Practice makes perfect.

When I was younger and lived with my parents I would frequently re-arrange my room by myself by closing the door, stacking the drawers behind the door and push and pull everything by myself (except my desk with mini-bookshelf and my doll cabinet). I didn't even have anything like those "moving men" pads. I learned the "take the drawers out trick" at an early age!

Also don't forget when you are moving in that you can always put a few things (like clothes, toiletries or cleaning supplies) in the drawers of the dresser to conserve space in the moving truck.

When we were taking me out of the dorm in the spring we actually put a bunch of stuff in the mini-fridge as a version of that. It's certainly going to be an adventure getting into the apartment one way or another.
