Moving...again....

So...I'm moving.  Again.  I've moved four times in my entire life.  Five if you count the hospital.  From my grandparents' to a duplex down the street, from the duplex to a house, from that house to a trailer behind my aunt's house in a different town, from the trailer to my stepdad's house and now we're moving again.  To another house.  That used to belong to my stepdad's sister.  Whee.
If you were wondering, I'm not too fond of moving...not my favorite thing to do.  If I ever get married, I'll have to make sure to marry a guy who doesn't like moving either and we can just live together in the same house until we die.
Lately, I've been packing things a bit and today I moved some of them downstairs.  I still have stuff to pack and move.  I've also come to the conclusion that I have way too many clothes.  When we get moved to the other house, I plan to look through my clothes and decide what I absolutely have to keep.  The sentimental clothes for sure, and then the stuff that I wear often, then the rest, I guess I'll just have to put up on Facebook or give to a thrift store or something.  The only thing I know I don't have too much of is books and sharp objects.  You can never have too many of those.
At this new house, I will have the entire upstairs to myself, as well as a "caboose" that's out front.
The caboose is pretty much just a playhouse that my stepdad's nieces used to play in.  I will be turning it into a "Geek Out Station".  I will pain the outside either white or black, then decorate it with color and stuff like that.  We're going to get better doors on it and turn the stairs into spirally type stairs.  There's a porch on the back and we're going to close it in partially and use the closed in part for a storage shed.  Currently, the inside is pink.  I hate pink.  It is in bad need of being re-sheetrocked, so we're going to do that, give it a tin roof, and I'm strongly considering putting cork board on all the walls.  I'll take pictures eventually, so y'all know what I'm talking about when I say putting this there and that in the other place.  I'm probably going to paint the walls blueish-green.  Then, the ceiling I'm going to paint light blue from the edges to black in the middle and hang little glow in the dark stars from the center beam.  The floor will probably just be wooden.  On the inside part of the outside door, I'm going to put all manner of things Narnia that I can.  I will have a little cabinet to put copies of my books in, to take with me when Mom and Doug go to selling places, so I can sell some of my books (hopefully).  There will also be a bookshelf that I'll be putting my filled up sketchbooks and other art supplies on.  I think we're going to find a way to get light and warmth out there and basically, it will be my...well...geek out station!
In the upstairs, I'll have my room, a guest-room, an office/living room and a bathroom!  I'll have to take pictures of the upstairs as well.  I have really big plans for it.  Now I just need to get my friends to come over and spend the night!  Of course, if they're my female friends, they'll sleep in my room...it's my male friends that would be stuck into the guest room.
I'd really like to get a small couch for my living room/office, so if anyone knows of a small couch that they don't want and would be willing to give away or sell for...really cheap...I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know.  Thank you!
Also, you may have noticed that there are now labels on my blog posts!  I figured out how to do that and went back and labelled every single post I've ever made.  So...that might help y'all if you're trying to find something in specific.  Lata!
