oh and also, eat at joe’s. that’s ahhhbviously some hype for lauren since i couldn’t figure out how to get the comment feature to look right until i copied her html action. nice work, lek, and thanks for letting me mooch.
i don’t think i’ve mentioned this before, but i love my room. when i walked in at 9:30 yesterday morning, after a four hour drive, i had forgotten how cute it is. i love the window with my curtains, the little shelf with my printer and my plant and my painting and my desk with the bulletin board and the bookshelf and the pull out writing desk. i love my bed with the duvet my mom made and my tapestry and the purple sheets and the wall with all the hooks and the purple christmas lights and my giant collage. i love having my guitar in the corner and my sunset chair under the window. i love that my bed has four tall posts (my bed at home actually felt short!) and my favorite furniture item ever, my wrought iron nightstand by my bed, with my african violet on it and all the drawers perfectly organized. i even love the carpeting, even though it’s, well, used. i got really lucky. i’m going to miss it.
but i’ll have other rooms. i’ll have my own rooms and rooms that i share with people i love and rooms that i get to keep for more than one year b/c i own them. maybe i’ll even design and build my rooms. in my future, i see hardwood floors, plush carpeting, tall, slender shelves and chests, romantic, luxurious beds, subtle lighting, giant chairs, and lots and lots of ecclectic and coordinated accessories. i want my bookcases to be home to books of all different shapes and sizes and colors and my linens to match. i want every room in my house to be a different, beautiful color – so different that you’re consciously aware of it. like, “wow, now i’m in the kitchen!” with emphasis.

love always, em locke
