Geek Wall

My bedroom walls are completely bare... and I'm tired of it.

A few weeks ago I saw the following video.  It is by my favorite vlogger (yes, I have started watching them), and her screen name is RandomPanser (Tradechat).  She's hilarious, geeky, and of course random.  Anyway, this video is showing the decorating of the wall in her video room (it's now the background for all her videos now).  What I specifically like about this video (and haven't seen in other design videos) is how she overlapped so many images and placed them at angles, like a collage.

I concluded a few nights ago that I wanted to attempt this on my bare walls.  So, I decided I wanted...

A geek wall!!

All my geekiness will be revealed with pictures and posters of favorite TV shows, movies, bands, lyrics, etc. Call me crazy, but I'm tired of bare walls and I really want to do something fun for a change.  I used to have posters hung up years ago, but when I took them down, I never replaced them.  Part of me has been hesitant because I'm not quite sure what to use to stick the posters up.  I've used the blue (or white) sticky-tack that comes in small squares which you can shape like silly putty and didn't like the result.  When I finally took my posters down, the walls were not marked, but the back of my posters had a greasy spot on them (and they were even the high quality laminated posters!).  So, I'm thinking of trying the command poster strips.  I don't think they would leave a greasy mark on the poster, would they?

Let me know if you have any ideas!  Thanks!

PS:  Some of the posters on my wall will include the following, not to mention lyrics will be spread throughout:

Didn't know I was a MLP fan, did you? =P  It's amazing, by the way...

This is just a sampling, of course!  YAY for geekiness!  ^-^

So Many Things To Do

The semester is now over and this is what I was expecting the break to feel like:

But this is reality:

I have so much I want to get done before school starts up again in January,
and I'm worried I will blink and the break will be over and I will have
accomplished none of my goals to kick back and relax!
(Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it?)

I want to read several books, watch all 5 seasons of Big Bang Theory,

and simply enjoy spending time with friends and family!  

So I thought I would start off by reading some good books...

Not to mention the gift wrapping for Christmas still needs to be done...

Oh, how I wish my To-Do list looked like the following:

Wouldn't that be great?  Talk about a wonderful vacation!

But I also realize that if I were to do absolutely nothing, I would be bored out of my mind and not functional.  I need to be doing things in order to save what little sanity I have left.  Take yesterday, for example.  I read all morning and became restless, so I went out and started watching Season 2 of Big Bang Theory.  After a while, the restlessness set in again.  In response, the crazy side of my brain proposed, "Why don't you start cleaning the office!  You could sort through papers while watching the show!"  Of course any normal person wouldn't go in and tackle an office of paper stacks and litter them around the living room floor right before Christmas.  We don't even have our tree up yet!  (And we may just pull a Grandma move and go for the tiny tree on a table with presents underneath.)  The reason for this is because since we had a leak in our roof, we had to move furniture.  In the process, we decided to simply replace all the old furniture with new (this being our family Christmas present), but we also want our carpets cleaned prior to the delivery of the new furniture.  And we don't want to put the tree up if the carpets need cleaning...

Therefore, our living room is completely empty...

Aside from the mess I made yesterday... which I will finish with tomorrow!

You see, even on vacation I still have to find something to do to occupy my time.  I can't simply lay around and leisurely read the piles of books that have stacked up.  Oh goodness no!  I must spend my precious free-time cleaning... Why?  Because I might just go insane if I don't.

And let's face it, when school starts up again, who has time for big cleaning projects? =P

**I do apologize for the immense amount of criticism and sarcasm in this post.  I blame it on the book I am currently reading and my creativity breaking out of the closet...
