Wrestling with a Futon (And other changes to my room...)

So I bought a futon today. I was kind of tired of my bed being frameless and in the way. That, and I got a very nice check from the cleaners that I wasn't expecting. So instead of waiting until March (only a few days...) I went out to WalMart this morning and bought it, just like that.
And then spent four+ hours trying to put it together.
The instructions say you only need an hour and a half...and maybe that's true. Except for the fact that I put it together wrong the first time. Upside down or backwards or something. So I cursed (sorry!) and took it apart and started all over. Only to realize that I'd mixed up something else. But no, that was the same piece I just fixed and even if I'd done it wrong, it was nothing I couldn't adapt to, so it was STAYING PUT!! More growling and grumbling and hitting my head on the bars as I laid on my back trying to put it together upside down...but it's done!!
VICTORY IS MINE!!!
And here's a picture (from the store, but the one I bought) to give you an idea of how simple it is...and to make you wonder how I could have possibly messed it up. :)

Aren't I amazing sometimes?
Another change, though...
So I've been bored and writing poetry and I decided about a week ago that I wanted to graffiti my wall...that is, I wanted to express myself with blue spray paint and a funky rhyme. Unfortunately, I don't HAVE blue spray paint, so I tried to figure something else out. One friend suggested I could simply use some of my left-over green paint and paint over the pink sponging, so I have a blank space. And then, since I DO have PINK spray paint, I could just use that instead. Fabulous idea, if I do say so myself. However, before I got over my laziness and found the incentive to dig out my green paint, I mentioned my idea to Dad, who, voila!, has blue spray paint.
And so, here we are:


A little blurry, but here's what it says...

"Music rocks me back and forth
Gets me through the day
Keeps me sane each day I work
But why, I couldn't say"

Okay, so not the most brilliant, but it was the least depressing one I could think of, so it works, I think. :)
And those are the changes to my room.
YAY!!!
