"My Boy Builds Coffins"

Hello there, Reader! Tired of tossing and turning in bed at night? Bored with traditional open-air beds, but find yourself at a loss of what to do about it? Wishing for a sleep so nice that it seems it could go on "eternally"? Well, then! Have I got a solution for YOU!

Build a coffin!
Rest In Peace. Every night.

Okay. So. Now that's that is out there, and you're face is all O.O, allow me to explain. (Did you see that? That was what we call an "Attention Grabber.")

AWESOME CHRISTINE and I watched a movie last night, and then hung out for a while, and I was all, "Y'know, I've secretly always wanted a coffin for a bed...isn't that really weird?" And she was all, "Srsly?...OMGMETOO!!" So I was like, "... ... ... Do you wanna help me build one before you move away and I never see you again??" And she was like, "Um, yes."

So we stayed up until three in the morning drawing plans and making lists of all the supplies we need. I got paid a bonus on my paycheck this week for Holiday pay, and decided that the extra money should definitely be used on this venture. So today, after I cashed my check, I took that extra money with me. We bought three huge sheets of ply-wood (and we were super picky because some of it was really knotty, which is like "naughty" but different), nails, Gorilla glue (which is definitely not recommended for use on actual Gorillas, if you like your face as it is), this really nice deep-burgundy satin, padding, and tacos. The tacos, however, are completely unrelated here.

Then we drove an hour to AWESOME CHRISTINE'S house to steal borrow the necessary tools. We couldn't find a real hammer to drive the nails, so we decided to improvise. (sledge hammer...) Still haven't got a sewing machine for piecing the fabric together, but we'll figure that out later.

In case you're wondering, "What the HELLLL is he planning on doing with a coffin!?" allow me to help you. Said coffin, in all of it's cushion-y wonderfulness, is going to be replacing my bed, because I've secretly always wanted a coffin. In fact, there were plans last year to build one, but they kinda sorta fell through, and now, finally, the plans are coming to fruition. And yes, pictures WILL be posted when the coffin is done. Right now, it's just a pile of wood with marker lines drawn all over it.

Anywho, that's pretty much all the interesting new fun stuff in my world right now. Oh, except for we gotted a kitteh, named Christine, because she's got a Phantom of the Opera mask-shaped patch of fur on the right side of her cute little non-deformed face.

Also, I'm totally skipping the whole "I should probably edit this post for clarity" thing, because I'm lazy tonight. Buh-bye!!

Bella Rose here!
That's awweesommmme. If it were me, would also paint staves from DiesIrae on my wall. But that's just because I'm completely obsessed with the house on the lake. And when I redo my room, it's either going to look like the room Christine was in in Erik's house or some sort of Phantom room (yes, with an itty bitty chandelier). Anywho, rambling, but I think that's really cool.

Oh, and I love your blog as well and I second Droney's request on a picture of Christien-Kitteh-of-the-Opera. Pretty please with sprinkles on top?
