Melrose #3

It’s 2:12 AM, technically 12.3.8. I’m sitting on my bed in white Woods Cross Lacrosse Shorts and a pink vneck that barbara dyed. I just got out of the shower. My bed is sitting on the ground. It is from ikea and comes with risers but they wobble and I want a solid bed for all the nights I’m making sweet sweet love to gentlemen callers. My bed has white sheets that are turning brown because I never wash them :) I have three pillows, a red one, a black one that would have yellow writing on it if it wasn’t inside-out, and a grey and black one that matches the grey and black squared down blanket I have, which are from ikea as well. Also on my bed is damien, the stuffed dog that Davie Supinger gave me when he asked me to prom Junior year, I use him when I am reading in bed, and Michelle’s yellow fleece blanket with pink orange and brown flowers on it. My phone is my alarm these days, so it sits on my bed somewhat tucked into damien against the wall. I used to have a little boxlike thing to keep it in, taped to the wall, but it came down one day and I haven’t put it back up. On my wall is a sticker with a picture of Jimi Hendrix and a quote: “When the Power of Love overcome the Love of Power the World Will Know Peace,” along with 3 wire art pieces: Jared’s face, a face of a boy in my art class last year, and a smaller wire of a drummer. Then there are 14 pictures on my wall by a local artist who’s name I cannot remember. There are 3 rows of 5, one picture fell down. That I also have not put back. I think this is because I hope to move soon and don’t feel motivated to fix things. Near the light switch is an I Voted sticker and two paintings that belong to sara of Buddha. My roommate, Megan Heiner, is not here tonight. Her bed is made. It is not on the floor like mine, so she has a lot of stuff under it. My half of the room always looks messier because I don’t have that space to hide things in. The closet doors are made so only one of our sides can be showing at one time. One or neither. Right now mine is showing. I sort of have my clothes organized from lightest to darkest. There are a few things that aren’t exactly in the right spot. On our bedroom door is my coat rack with a million of my coats on it. I have a small “bedside table,” a simple single drawer, open right now. Lots of papers and notebooks and cds and such on top and inside. The last real thing in my room is a 3-drawer “dresser” with clothes in it. I should get ride of some clothes. Sleeping in the room down the hall is Jannali Wood. Seeca Larson is in Centerville at her best friend Janelle’s house. Our kitchen is a disaster, dishes and crap everywhere. Always. The living room isn’t too messy right now. Seeca just put up a tree. Christmas! But it’s fake, small ish, has a million ornaments on it, which isn’t always bad, but when they are tacky... and it has colored lights. I am stuck on my family’s ways with Christmas trees I suppose. Our front door is red and has a 3 on it. 1162 E 400 S #3 SLC, UT 84102. Melrose, if you will. Sleeping above me is Alex and possibly Eric Redbird. Chase Gentry used to sleep directly above me, but his gf got home from her mission about a month ago and he moved out because they are getting married on the 20th of this month. Freaky deaky. Sleeping below me is Bob Jensen and Benjamin Bailey. There you have it. Melrose. The glorious life of 195 a month. I need to pay the power bill, asap.
