a place to lay my head

I have finally graduated into the world of sleeping on a bed! haha.. I slept on some mats, a la Korean style, for 15 months then bought a little personal-sized futon that I slept on for the next 4 months. One of my roommates graduated to a queen-sized bed, so I offered to house her twin bed for her. She gave it to me, so now I sleep on a bed.

It's kind of weird because it feels so small and so high. On the floor obviously I was close to the ground, and although my pads were just twin-sized, one gets the illusion that their bed size is the entire expanse of the floor. My futon was full-sized, so there was room to spread a little, and it was about 4 inches off the ground so pretty much still down there. This bed, now-- man, it goes up to my hip! I don't know how tall my hip is, but it feels like I'm sleeping on a pedestal or hovering in mid-air. I think I like it; I just need to get used to the width. It even came with a bed skirt, so now I can hide things under my bed! hehehe...

ah, good times, I'm growing up...
