This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff

I'm a big fan of furniture and designing a living space, as it stands. I like considering what people see when they walk in the front door, and I like showing them how the place I live is laid out so that it pleases my sense of asthetics and efficiency. Also, I'm a sucker for virtual half-walls, or at the very least I like subdividing a space with couches and carpets and other low furniture, probably because I've lived all my life in places where a space had to either do double duty as lounge or dining room or be subdivided into both. As for stuff, I am extremely fond of bookshelves and how things look on bookshelves. I enjoy books. I enjoy having a lot of books. And I enjoy having miscellany collect on my bookshelves according to my own slightly obsessive organization.

Also I don't like TVs. They...seem to command attention in a room. Again, having lived in spaces where the TV can't be ignored. The most I've ever gotten out of them is as giant monitors.

And I will admit to like building collections of things. Books, mostly. I look at my Neal Stephenson collection next to my Space Odyssey collection and I am proud of trawling through those second-hand bookstores.
