The Wonder House

So, when my vivid imagination has very little to do, it kind of goes off on a tangent. I was talking about how I would decorate the house, if it was mine, and it got a little crazy. But here we go.
First, when you walk in, instead of being a boring hallway, there would be a ballroom! Not like...a dancy ballroom...a ballroom as in the ones they have at McDonalds and IKEA...except not disgusting. There would be multi-coloured balls, and they would come up to your waist, and once you walked into the Wonder House, all your troubles would just melt away. And it's an amazing house, because even though there are weird things like a ballroom, it has crystal chandeliers and red and gold wallpaper and marble and all sorts of fancy things. Anyway, you can either go up the stairs on your immediate left, but I'll get to that later, so you would continue into the living room. Except it's not a living room. It's the TV room...there is a huge TV, and an infinite amount of movies, and satellite, and tonnes of comfy chairs and couches and blankets, and it would be the room where we all would sleep. The couches and chairs are really cool, because they change shape in accordance to what would be most comfortable to you and anyone else who is sitting on the couch with you. There is a fireplace and also air conditioning, so the house is always the perfect temperature. And, it wouldn't be a TV room without snacks, so it is adjacent to the magic kitchen! The magic kitchen never needs cleaning (none of the house ever needs cleaning...it is self-cleaning!) and it cooks by itself too. There is always plenty of food in the fridge and cuboards. And whatever you are hungry for, there is always some in the kitchen! And it would always smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies! The dining room is really fancy, much like the table the Queen would eat at, but on a smaller scale. Again, chandeliers, big vases of fresh flowers, candles. But the best part is that there is no one to tell us what we can and cannot do, so food fights are not only allowed but encouraged. But one may ask whatever happened to the pantry? Well, the pantry is no longer a pantry. It's the Closet of Change. You walk in, and, its an apparantly empty room. You close your eyes, and think of what you would like to wear. Anything! And before you know it you're wearing what you imagined. This is great for theme parties. If I declared it so, there would be a Renaissance/Baroque/Anime/Toga/Anything I damn well pleased party and you wouldn't need to worry about a costume! You would be magically changed into whatever! Just like Sailor Moon's Luna Pen, but it's a closet, instead. Just think of the fun we could have! The downstairs washroom would also be really fancy, and the laundry would do itself!
So, if you went out into the backyard, you would find a huge tree with a treehouse and a swingset and a swinging love seat and a hammock and an iceskating rink and a hill for tobogganing in winter and rolling down in the summer and a stable for horses, and other petting zoo-esque animals, like goats and sheep and chickens and cows and bunnies. And they'd all be very friendly. There would be lots of flowers, and my own private rose garden where only I could go. And the animals would never go hungry, or thirsty, or need veterinary care, because they are sort of like the house...they look after themselves. Inside we would have cats, and dogs, and a penguin butler named Lenguiney. They would all be soooooo cute!
Just next to the downstairs washroom, is the door leading to the basement. Currently it is cold, and bare, with all of our boxes just thrown down there. But not in the Wonder House! It you be....you guessed it! A pool! And the bottom of the pool would be glass and there would be a diving board, and a slide that goes all the way from the top floor (where my mom's room is now) down to the pool! There would be a swim up bar, and lots of pool toys. The water would always be perfect...and there would be a sauna. I was going to put a library down there, but I've decided to move that, and I'll tell you where it is later. We would also have a dolphin and a seal, and they would do tricks and let us ride them. It would be awesome.
That's pretty much all there is downstairs, so now, we will go back to the ballroom and up the stairs. The staircase is divided down the middle. Half of the staircase is..well...stairs...duh, but the other half is a slide, so you can slide down into the ballroom! Anyway, once you get to the top of the stairs, you can turn left or right. Turn left, and you're in the fun room! First of all, it's waaaaay bigger than the room that is actually there, with a higher ceiling. Anyway, half of the room is a trampoline, built right into the floor! There is a basketball hoop at each end, so we can all play trampoline basketball! The other half of the room has a pool table, and a mini fridge, and a bar, and DDR (mostly just so Ryan will come over). If you turn right at the top of the stairs, you might like to stop at the first door on the right, and take a look at the toy room. Remember, as a kid, going to Toys R Us, and wishing you could live there? Well, that's what my room would be converted to. There would be hundreds of stuffed animals (there already are) and lego and all those cool toys you always wanted! And games, like Jenga, Twister, Mad Gab, Taboo, Cranium, and all of those awesome-fun board games that we all love to play. There would be lots of those. And any sort of toy or gadget you can imagine, it would be there for your enjoyment! Beyond that is another fancy bathroom, with a large bathtub with massaging jets, and a big glass shower. The room that is currently occupied by my sister would in fact be the computer room, especially for Kevin. He could program all the music that would play throughout the whole house, and do all the awesome computer stuff that I can't even begin to understand (like retrieving my files...thankyou soooo much!) and we would have high-speed internet and we could talk to people all around the world with our chat rooms and play video games and computer games and it would be awesome. The door on the left of the hallway would lead to a number of things. Where my mom's bathroom is now, there would be an elevator to the other floors of the house. Beyond that would be Kevin's secret spy room. I would tell you what's in there, but I don't know. Honest. If I ever find out, Kevin's gonna kill me! I mean...what secret spy room?! I don't know what you're talking about, you crazy person!
Moving along...
In the master bedroom, would not in fact be the master bedroom, but there would be the entrance to the water slide, and just a nifty hang out, with comfy chairs and cool furniture. There would be a french door leading out on the balcony. The balcony would run all along the back of the house, save for the place the water slide leaves the house. There would be a fountain, and a BBQ, and a hottub, and a place for me to paint, and yet another mini fridge. One thing I should also mention is that the whole house is soundproof, so we can crank up the music and the neighbours would never know. It also has a cloaking device, so that all the neighbours see a normal house, they see my mom drive into the garage, they see my sister go check the mail. But really, it's just my house, with all of my friends. And some animals, including a penguin holding a tray of h'ors doerves.
Okay, okay, I know, I'm weird, and that this fantastical house doesn't exist, and never could. But I don't care. Sometimes having a place like this in your mind helps you ignore anything in the real world that is bothering you. Maybe I'm crazy. Or maybe I'm just having a damn could time in my own mind. You're welcome to join me.

Musical Quote of the Day

"I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling
An earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be all right
All right
When the plane came in
She said she was crashing
The velvet it rips
In the city we tripped
On the urge to feel alive
But now I'm struggling to survive
The days you were wearing
That velvet dress
You're the priestess
I must confess
Those little red panties
They pass the test
Slide up around the belly
Face down on the mattress
One"
