Grr! Grr!

Nah, I didn' just have a fight with my other best friend (ER). That was a week ago. I had this "sour face" after I was told by my landlady that they've sold their crib, that they want to take down the curtains inside my room coz they are taking it with them. Had I been given enough notice I wouldn't be that upset, but the five-minute notice was a little too damn short, I guess. Confound it with the fact of possible eviction......... I totally lost it. I was in a rage!
This is the curtain in question. It isn't anything special, but it serves its purpose - a very handy curtain indeed. This curtain creates a wall between me and the outside world, helping me maintain my privacy. I can do whatever and be whoever in my room without worrying about being seen.
Mad, I felt the need to take a walk. After strolling for 5 minutes, muttering soft curses under my breath to noone in particular, I spotted a convenience store. I went inside the store hoping to find nice curtains for my room. I searched the store for a few minutes before finally accepting the fact that they didn't sell curtains. I settled for white drawing paper and purple construction paper - the only available color. I covered the glass windows with papers and used my scarves (which I never really use) to add extra touch. Not bad!
Grins! I am proud of myself for making the best out of a fucked-up situation, turning what could have been bad into something better. I am proud of myself. I know I sound vain, but believe me..... I used to be different. (In a bad way, anyway.) I am much more flexible these days, more patient, more responsible with the choices I make and the actions I do, much more realistic and even a lot nicer. I guess, it is a sign that I have grown-up a little bit more.
