miss leelee's Blurty

my happy home
So I officially live in Los Angeles. Well, I have for over a week now, but I can't get my computer to connect to the internet at home, so I've had to wait to post pictures of it till now (on campus). Sorry that I don't have them hidden, but I want everyone to be able to see them with the explanation, so if it's taking up too much room on your friends page, then furiously write more entries to help each other out.

this is in my bedroom agaist the wall opposite my bed. these are the things i can't unpack because my walls are cement, so i can't put any nails in them. annoying! i get to live out of boxes for the next undetermined amount of time!

this is my entertainment center. it is the only outlet in my entire room, so i actually have to unplug things regularly to keep it going. i'm going to borrow a power strip from paul (look for future blurty entries to find out about him), but i haven't gotten around to it yet. so until then, i can only have 2 things going at once.

my vanity! the mirror is actually leaned against the wall because i can't hang it up, and the suitcase holds all my hair products. my makeup is generally spewed across the little floor space in that area.

Shoddy craftsmanship! I had to put together this dresser on my own, and it didn't work out so well. At least the drawers open and close and I can keep tons of clothes in it. If you need a big dresser, I recommend the Aneboda from Ikea, however don't put heavy stuff in it because the bottom is like a thin piece of cardboard.

my bed! to the untrained eye it might look like i'm sleeping on the floor. i am not. it is a futon from ikea, and it is approximately three inches off the floor. and yes, it is as, if not more, uncomfortable then it looks. at least i have fancy pillows to make it softer. (notice the picture frames lining the walls)

my porch! it's kind of an old spanish style duplex...so you really only need to see this side...picture in your mind this side but opposite, and you've got the whole house.

i had to put this picture up because i have a white picket fence! who knew 2 block away from santa monica blvd were white picket fences.

this is the living room. nothing in here is mine, which sort of makes me feel like i'm invading someone's house.

dining room...more like a breakfast nook, but it's the best we can do.

the kitchen. it's pretty skinny, but we're not very big girls.

non-coin operated washer and dryer! i have yet to actually use it due to lack of laundry detergent, but when i do i will jump for joy.

and that is that. i love the location of where i live. it's amazing. it's less then a mile from 405 (or THE 405 as they say), and 2 blocks south of santa monica boulevard. the best thing in the entire world is driving down santa monica blvd at like 2 in the morning when all the lights are still on, but no one is on the road. it's amazing! it's like you know there's people out there but you're completely alone. it seems like a very safe area too. i've never encountered anything creepy looking, and across the street are extremely nice condos. if only my walls were walls and not cement it would be perfect...
