Small Living 1

          So I was googling different apartments that don't need a lot of space (for when I move). And found the website faircompaines.com, which has a tag for small living. So I'm going to write a few blogs dedicated to small living.

I'm starting with this very cute, quaint and rural living-area.
Now I really like this house/caravan. I like that it nice and clean (which I can't say about my own room...) and it has so much wood panelling. I also love that it has all that sitting (aka two sofas).
And like every other adult, I like that it has a "normal" sized bed.
There are some things I dislike about the house though. And that's the fact that the microwave is on the other side of the room and easily seen. I like thing to be out of the way, especially big things that don't match the decor.
Other things that were a bit off was that the host doesn't comment on the sofas. Is there storage under them, like the one in this video (p.s I plan to make that video the next blog too).
     This house (15 square meters) is actually 5 meters bigger than my current room is (mine is 2,5m by 4m = 10 square meters). Small differences... like the shape of the room, the cabinets, the doors, the concept that the house has a kitchen and bathroom... My room is stupidly made. When you look at it, you can clearly see what you're supposed to put where.

So this a quick sketch of my room. The black fuzz is the door (but the fuzz is a little small...). The purple is a closet (that can't be painted and the inside is unmovable) The red (at the bottom) is a radiator. And the blue is a windowsill.
As you can see, they want you to put a desk or table-thing in front of the window and a bed along the left side wall.
In my room there isn't room to put a sofa in it, unless it's a futon. But I'm too old for a ugly looking futon and if I buy one that's pretty and mature, it costs!! Now my room also has a sh*tload of books in it too. I have close to 400 books. And my mother doesn't want to see them (aka they have to be in my room).

Maybe you guys can help my decorate the inside of my room. Do any of you guys have any ideas? Or advise?

Shoes shoes shoes

So I promised a post about shoes, and here it is:
I have, like every other female, an adoration to shoes. I don't own all that many, but I like them all the same. I resently bought 2 pars of peggy plaid pump, 1 in yellow and 1 in red. They are so cute. Not "my style" but still very cute. The next par of heels I plan to buy are going to be a everyday type, something I could wear everyday to school and around town. Be able to walk over 6 km each day, type of heel (so not very high). Most of the heels I own are a good 10 cm (4") high. Which in the long road are hard to walk with.
But in all reality I should probably not buy any more and save for an apartment instead... But that's not fun...

To blog or not to blog...

That should be the question... The biggest problem with blogging, is that I have no idea what to blog about. So I've decided not to care and write whatever I want with no subject, theme, writing style or other matter. The posts will just be me talking to... you? ...myself? ...the future me? ...the past/current me's that are in the present you's? Hmmm... to philosophical? I think so too... So this post will be about the movie Black Swan.

Now... you haven't traveled back in time, I saw the movie a while ago and re-saw it today. When it first came out it didn't look like a good movie. Or not a movie that suited my tastes. But my sister and mother both went and saw it in theaters though. They both said it was weird and creepy (mostly the part where she pulls off her on fingernail). After their comments I decided to watch it. Still not a movie I would have seen, but not bad. It's more psychological than anything else.

For those who haven't seen it, it's about a girl who gets the role of the black/white swan in the ballet story "the black swan" -I think....- And she takes the role way too seriously and over personalizes it. She makes the story her life. Her life becomes the story.

It really is a good psychological story for any psych majors out there. The reason I've seen it twice is because my friend wanted to see it (and she can't stand "scary" movies), so we watched it together.

It's an interesting plot. I understood it. Not all will, but it's not hard to if you look deep enough.  ....crap... I can't remember the reason to why I started this post... damn...
