My room is basically empty except for my bed, computer/desk, birdcage, and fan. It even has grey walls lol. This is mostly because my preferred horde is old books and they are pretty expensive so my collection is small. I also like maps, historical trinkets/artifacts, and indegenous art but I am unemployed lol.

I don't dislike what I currently have but I do wish I had unorganized stacks of books everywhere (if only my bird would not poop on them)

I had a former coworker come pick me up one day after work to go for sushi and catch up. I just got home from work and needed a shower.

Tried to get him to wait outside because it was a beautiful day. Nah, he wanted to chill in my room. First thing he did was call my room a jail cell...

I've upgraded since then. Now I have a bunch of pothos plants and a depressed chilli pepper plant I keep watering because this creepy, demonic little puking worm lives in there. Only seen it a few times but it's there. I throw bits of food in the pot to keep it happy :)
