One man's trash & some pink lipstick...

you know how sometimes it is hard when you are young, poor, nomadic, and sharing living space? let me categorize that-- know how it's hard when you are all those things to try and leave your mark on your place of residence?

was that confusing?

okay, let me rephrase. doesn't it sometimes seem pretty pointless to decorate & add homey touches when you are living off loans & generally transient?

because sometimes that's how i feel.

but then i get these ideas, you see. little flashes in my head of how i want things to be (you know what i'm talking about, right?). how i would make my little house ((apartment)) a home. the flashes are fleeting, and the image changes-- a LOT (much to the husband's dismay). the one commonality is my brain. the little pieces are all glimpses into a tiny home i have created in my head.

i would really someday like to fit all the pieces together & create a whole picture. (and maybe my roommate would really like for me to just pick which of the brain-homes i want and get on with it already. (but in a very loving, patient sorta way... you know?))

well, what i am really saying is here are some of my brain pieces for you to take a gander at. maybe they will inspire a brain-home flash of your own.
