Chit-Chat: On Tuesdays Oryx and Triforce think it's Wednesday

I'm happy with my springless floor mattress. It's just soft enough for my back and nothing more.

The main things that occupy my time are PC, LTT, Photoshop/Illustrator (good for killing time), and toying with my server. I've been trying to incorporate EGC into my routine as PC gets monotonous every week or so, and with my web server I had the joy of moving my public HTML around from /home into /srv, and writing up HTML to go with that. Oh, and I also created an image repo on PokéSphere where I'm starting to host my image files on, as opposed to using Twiggy's TwigZone.

Basically I sit around all day on my bed doing whatever the hell I want on my PC, as well as blowing money on junk at 7/11 and loving up my cat because he's the cutest damn thing on the planet

Unless your couch is super soft and long/wide enough to fit a body on, I can't imagine sleeping for a full duration of a night's rest while feeling comfortable on a couch.
 
Eh, I've fallen alseep on my couch and woken up many hours later before. Though my couch is a decently cozy leather couch and I probably was just really tired.
 
Wow, my mom totally freaked out because I threw away a piece of furniture she claimed was an antique Chinese bureau.

First off, there was no obvious indication on the furniture itself that it was chinese, so I don't know if she's was lying or if she was genuinely duped in believing it was made by chinese.

Second, who cares? It was sitting around doing and holding nothing. I have no need for two bureaus, so if you didn't want me to throw it away, you shouldn't have given it to me in the first place.

I also like her rebuttal to this when I pointed it out to her. She claims my wife might need it. What wife? I'm single and chances are if I ever decide to have a lapse in judgement and get married one day, my wife will come with a bureau of her own and we'd just end up getting rid of it anyway.

She then brought up value. It was broken. Yeah, it could be repaired, but repairs would more likely cost more than what the bureau was actually worth these days. Look, I don't care how much you spent on it. Furniture is only worth as much as what people are willing to spend for it. I know for a fact that even if I kept it around, I would just end up selling it for a pittance at a garage sale one day anyway, so I cut out the middleman.

My mom finally calmed down after I explained to her at least I kept the other bureau, so she counted her losses and moved on, but goddamn. It's was boring looking bureau. Apparently that was enough to make her go ape♥♥♥♥.

Further proof you get lame and gullible the older you get.
 
I don't mind the couch at all, if I'm over and not at home. Keep my laptop and cooler right at my head and foot, go to sleep, wake up, whatever.

Beds: Some people just can't live without them.

*hosts a Bed Attainment Ceremony for Oryx*
 
I don't know, I've slept without a bed sometimes.

But yeah, happy birthday of the bed, Oryx.
 
Happy bedday!

I share a 2 meter bed with my boyfriend but he's othertown this summer so I have the whoooooole thing for myself. Since I'm a tiny person, I can lie in any direction in the middle of it and not reach any edge. :33

Omg I do this. My boyfriend is almost annoyed at how much I move around on the bed...I literally lay in every direction, even sideways which makes my feet hang off the edge.
 
Thank god I have a bed to myself. I don't really move much at all, I don't think I could stand the other half moving around constantly. Funny that I've said that as I don't have a girlfriend............ yet.
 
There's no way I could be comfortable with Khilia without a queen. I barely fit on my full size bed length-wise, and would love some extra feet space along with her. That's in the future, though.
 
This is now the bedthread.

Or "the point of sleep has always been to get people beds"
 
I'm a pretty small guy, so it's always fun to enter a hotel room and jump on to the huge bed and lie in every possible way without having any appendage hang off the side. My room's bed is actually pretty close to my size, so there's no room to move around on it, but it's still really cozy. :]
 
I have a huge issue with pillows. Literally cannot sleep on any pillow unless it's super flat and those aren't too good for your neck to begin with. Sigh. :( Have tried forcing myself to sleep on the puffier ones but that never worked out. Always tossed it aside in favor of the flatter pillow.
 
I've slept on the floor often. It's actually not that bad. Spent a whole year doing that once. I'll tell you, though, makes you understand how lucky we are, having mattresses.
 
I'm super picky about sleeping materials too. I always have to have at least two pillows, even if I don't use them haha.
