One thing thats awesome about working and not being in school anymore is free time. When I was a student I would go to class all day and study all night. There was no time for myself. Besides the photo editing, most of my time outside work is free now, and I'm easily getting used to it. One of the things I like to do in my free time is find cool stuff for almost nothing. That means a 40 pound chair from the thrift store for $8 and a shelving unit for $18. I also have a new comforter, which means more to me than the average comforter.
I spent more time at Jake's place when I was growing up then mine. We were all about sleep overs. It was the forbidden fruit of our youth. Mainly because Mrs. Boll hated it when we had sleep overs. We'd wake her up at least three times a night with our antics.
Some of the best memories were when we'd stay up all night playing NHL 95 and MegaMan X. Sometimes we'd dare each other to run to the dead end in our boxers at 3 am. Other times we'd play shinny hockey in the basement hallway or stuff the end of knee socks with other socks and pretend we were the knights at Medivel Times. The best part was their golden retriever, Norman, would lay down next to us and I remember using his big belly as a pillow.
The Boll's had Down comforters for all of their blankets. They were unbelievable. Feathers in the middle, cold when initially touched but still kept you very warm. Ever since then I've wanted a Down comforter. 13 or more years I've dreamed of sleeping on such comfort in my own bed and I'm happy to say, as of last month, I'm a very happy Down comforter owner.
