It's not 221b, but it's a home.

As I promised, an update about our new house and mostly, my room :)

Let's kick off with a very artistic picture of our stairs...

My room is on the third floor (Get it? Room on the 3rd Floor? ;D) so in a way I stay fit 'cause I have to run those stairs up and down all the time if I wanna go to the kitchen or the bathroom.
Yes, we only have rooms on the third floor x)

So my room has a double bed:

Picture taken the day after moving in.

Actually, all the rooms have a double bed. But only two of us have these kinds of beds.
It's actually a very nice change after Uni's single bed and the sofa I slept on for nearly two months during summer break x) And besides, before moving to England I had a double bed so it's familiar in a way :3
And aren't my bed sheets cute!? By bed's probably the girliest thing in my room. I kid you not :D

Another girly thing would be the top and surroundings of my dresser:

Never mind the laundry in the crisp box...

And that only because I keep my make ups, nail polishes and such on top of it.
The drawers themselves are FULL of clothes from the top one to the third one. The two bottom ones hold my pyjamas, belts, wigs, towels etc. But the three top ones... they are SO full.
I really need more hangers so I can sort them out...

Some of my clothes are stored in my wardrobe:

You can't see it in this, but there's a drawer at the bottom.

The wardrobe contains my dresses, jackets, shoes and underwear (in the drawer), so there's still room for more hoodies, shirts etc. and hence the need of hangers.
The top is an excellent place to store bags, obviously. The door is decorated with Heidi's art of Sam from Tron: Legacy :3 I'll be adding more to it when I get the chance.

Actually... let me introduce you the ridiculous, old school, wardrobe of my flatmate Sam (whose room is on the second floor, so totally not as cool):

You must be thinking what's so ridiculous about it...

Well, let me open it for you:

On top of the fact that you can go to Narnia through it...

It has a ridiculous amount of silly compartments for... all kinds of (old school) things...

You should've seen my face when I saw these :D

Anyway, back to my room. Yes, it actually has more than just a bed, drawer and a wardrobe!
Like a desk and a chair for example:

Let me tell you, it is a really nice chair.

Well, it's a bit boring to just look at the desk, isn't it? So let me introduce it to you a bit more closely:

Bad picture is bad.

That's pretty much what's currently on it. My laptop Daniel, The X-Files (complete collector's edition), hard drive, speakers, August's Ranzuki, wallet, Post-it notes and sooo on.
You can also see my CD box which only holds about 5 CDs atm and my Nintendo DS holder.

It has 3 drawers, but only one of them is actually interesting:

Mah DVDs!

I counted my DVD-movies (what a stupid word) and I have over 100 (most of them are in Finland) :D I think Tron & Tron:Legacy were my 100th and 101st x) Not counting the TV series.
The other two drawers have papers, pencil case, plastic pockets and other stuff like that so yeah... not as interesting x)

Now to the final piece of furniture, the wall shelf above my desk:

No, I don't have two copies of that book. The thing on top is the detachable cover.

See? Not as girly as my drawer and bed eventhough I tried with the jewelry xD
I think the Iron Man and Thor kinda... overtake it, don't you? :'D
Here you can see all my books, plays and magazines. Yes, mostly plays x)

Btw, I'm thinking about making a post about those accessories and my shorts, but that you have to wait till next week.

Well, that was the last piece of furniture so now I'll just enterntain you with my posters and other pictures that hung on my walls!

Glow in the dark!Tron: Legacy and Kick-Ass with the silly Saints.

Now these two are right above my bed as you can see... waiting for the night one of them falls down and causes me to sh*t my pants...

Marvel Heroes, Friends, the official Saints and Chris Hemsworth :3

I need something next to Mr. Hemsworth... He looks terribly lonely like that and it's so empty to his left (our right) x) I wonder if I could find Mr. Hiddles(ton) from somewhere...
The wall on the other side of my bed is totally empty, but I just ordered Wolverine, Spock and Iron Man 2 posters with my purehmv points so it won't be like that for long 8)

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

Yes, my wardrobe actually has these on it. No, it's not disturbing at all when Sherlock stares at you while you sleep.
And yes, it's the British version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. It has Daniel Craig :3 And Rooney Mara~

The Legend of the Guardians, Narnia 3 and part of the World

I just had to put these somewhere. Turned out that the door was the best place for them :D

The World, Liverpool calendar and my movie "bulletin board"

I think the only one asking for explanation is the movie bulletin board:

Ta-dah!

There are usually way too many films I want to see. So I decided to make this so I can keep up what comes out and when and whether I want to see them bad or just see them x)
At the moment the "gonna see so hard" side has seven films so it's only one more than the "like to see" side :D

Presents from friends, my dad and Agent P!

Now, I'm not usually one to put pictures of just myself on the walls BUT that Everybody Dance collage I got from Eeva and I really like it AND it reminds me of my lovely parapara students... so I just had to put it there :D The drawing next to it is from Jenni~
Then there's a picture of my dad from... I don't even know what year. He's standing next to a... I'm not even sure what car xD But I like the picture and it's a way to keep him close.
Agent P, because... it's PERRY! :D
I still have some stuff to put up to be honest...

Btw, it's pretty difficult to put posters on the walls in a house that barely has ANY straight lines:


Well.. those were all the pictures and posters so I guess that's about i--- HOLD IT!

I do have a window in my room!

Dark picture is dark.

My window sill is actually big enough for me to sit on it, so sometimes I do just that. Sit on it and look outside (or read something).
The vue is nothing special, but I still like it:

Paavo and Tane. Paavo's having some troubles right now ;__;

If I actually stick my head out enough, I can see pretty far down the street. It's pretty cool. I can see the best of the architecture (roof tops) when I look out :)

Now. That's about it.
Next time: stories-but-not-stories about my shorts and accessories, till then stay human and let me amuse you with my geeky desires:

I SO wanna add a X after Charles.

I also wanna add "BI" to the beginning and "ION" to the end so it'd read "BIFROST STATION".
