File it under "Global Warming". Doesn't just mean that the earth's temperature is rising, it means that weather patterns go postal to the extremes. It's just going to get worse. Especially, when more of the Arctic Ice Cap melts and the ocean levels rise...enjoy New Orleans, the Florida Keys, the Virginia coast, SoCal, etc, while you can, they'll eventually be underwater.

And that ray of sunshine was brought to you by ChiliD...

Seriously, though. We all know that us as a race are going to doom ourselves to extinction in one way or another. We were a bad idea. Be it from an evolution/creationist/whatever you believe in. We're a selfish species who ultimately cause destruction by striving for material needs and wealth. It's just a shame that our greed is going to drag the rest of the planet's lifeforms with us when the big GW really does get heavy.

My house is small and I seriously did not realize how much stuff I had until I went through it all. I threw a lot out. Mine and my sister's room are in the basement so all of my stuff is in the small space outside my room. There is a little path to my sisters room haha. I have my mattress on my floor now and I love it, but my bed is like half my storage in my room so I'm enjoying it while it lasts.
I totally agree with you when I get my own place I'm doing the exact same thing

I tried to convince my Mom that I need my mattress on the floor as well. For a Stevie Gypsy feel, and also so I could put 2 single matresses together to make a double bed

...but she told me no, the spiders would be able to get to me easier and eat my brains out.. This is what I have to live with

I try really hard to be as environmentally friendly as I can, but that was totally ridiculous. It's a very hilly school, and kids broke limbs falling every year. I kept thinking that if they were walking alone at night, something really bad could happen.

I transferred to a school in NYC, where I grew up, and I really can't complain about the snow ever again!

What school in VT? I lived in burlington for about 8 years

That's a good idea with the two mattresses. Big beds are nice, but when I sleep on them I sleep only on one side so there would be no use for me to get one.

Not going to lie when I put my bed on my floor today the first thing I thought of was spiders. Not necessarily that they were going to eat my brains but more about that I'm closer to them. Spiders have a weird attraction to my room and I'm the only one in the house that hates them.

What about the spiders that hang glide down their web from the ceiling? They can land in your open mouth when you're sleeping, walk down the tunnel of your throat and do all kinds of exploring for the evening.

I try to avoid those thoughts. Thank you for that
