Hi
I know I haven't updated in forever. But I don't have anything worth posting. It just doesn't seem like there are any good things left any more, like everything that happens is either a little crappy or very crappy. I don't know what's going on, but I just can't see anything as being a good thing anymore.
I've picked out a color for my room, which will be painted soon. It's called "Satina Swirl", and is pink. I'm dreading taking everything off the walls, though. Not that it's difficult---- I just can't stand the thought of taking these things off the walls, some of which have been there for many years, all of which mean something to me. I don't know if I'll be able to put them back up right away since they won't want me ruining the paint job. My bathroom, which has gray/blue as its color scheme, will get pale lavender walls. That's going to look nice, I bet.
The biggest problem will be picking out a carpet. Mother picked a beigy color, and I cried. I really did. But the same company had a sapphirey blue color, so I was going to put that in my room- I figured pink walls and blue carpet would be kind of awesome in a weird way. But now Mother thinks maybe having a light carpet would be bad, since having a light carpet would mean we'd have to get dark walls or everything would be too pale. Well, not like DARK, just not like, white, lol. So she'll pick something else, which is awesome.
Seems like everyone else's life sucks, too. Eck.
SOMEONE PLEASE INVITE ME SOMEWHERE. I can't take being lonely any more.

Is there some kind of charitable organization that you could do volunteer work with in your free time? Just an hour or two a week will get you out of your lonely atomsphere and also allow you to meet others.
Sometimes when we go and help others it helps us even more. I've done lots of different volunteer work at times and it has helped my depression.
Maybe a Peds unit in the hospital where you could go and read to children, or rock babies in the nursery, a local nursing home where you could do crafts with seniors? Anything that might interest you that would just allow you to escape tthis lonliness?
Just a suggestion.
As for your room it sounds like it will be very pretty. Sometimes it is hard to visualize just what things will look like.
When I decorate I look for pictures of rooms I like and decide what about them that appeals to me and then incorporate them into my decorating.
Our master bedroom is decorated in shades of pink. So I love what you're starting with for color.
The walls in our bedroom are painted with a mix of ivory shades of paint rag rolled, with flecks of gold for an old world look, with mauve colored carpet and touches of gold in the picture frames, and lots of pink/mauve silk flowers. The bedding is a beautiful mauve rose floral comforter with matching drapes and lace sheers underneath. It has a very romantic look. I took the colors in the comforter and decorated around it.
The rest of our home is carpeted with a rich plum colored carpet that after 4 and 1/2 years still looks brand new and never shows dirt. It actually goes very well with pretty much the whole house.
Maybe take a look at the dark plum shades of carpet to go with your pink bedroom and lavender bath.It might solve the color problem with your Mom and get a color that will work well from the bathroom through to the bath.
I wasn't sure I'd like the carpet when we had it installed but it has been the nicest carpet, easy to keep looking new and if I had to recarpet another house I'd use it again because it is so versitile. It pretty much goes with any color.
Please post some pictures when you get it done. I'd love to see how it looks.

Unfortunately, there aren't too many places around that appreciate teenage volunteers, but I'll have another look at it. I'm not very good with children, though- I don't know why- so I'll look into learning more about childcare. A summer project, I guess :D
My mother and I are both extremely picky, indecisive people, which drives our painters and other such people absolutely mad- but neither of us can help it, lol. I'll have to tell her about the carpet ideas, we'll see what she thinks.
Thanks bunches, love. <333
