    Default IKEA

    Just... just... I love IKEA! Who loves IKEA? Do you live anywhere near one?

    I'm going there with my friends later to get a bookshelf and dinner.

    There's one at the mall nearby where I live! I used to just walk and browse around just for the hell of it. Never actually bought anything from IKEA though, but I do enjoy the meatballs.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Of course I live near one, duh. I once walked home from IKEA with two heavy ass bags for like 40 minutes. It was hell.

    Del Murder and I used to go on dates to Ikea, waaaaay before 500 Days of Summer made it like the cool hipster thing to do.

    I LOVE all those premade room sets. I don't know why. It's all just so prettily arranged. I used to want to be an interior decorator, so maybe that's why I can just sit in those rooms and be happy. Also, their cafeteria is cheap and yummy!

    We live by the only Ikea in the immediate Bay Area.

    Ikea is what all the poor students shop at when they want to get their small apartments furnished. At least where I live .

    Seems about right.

    I think I might get small stuff there, stuff you didn't have to put together.

    I'm not enough of a grown-up to buy my own furniture yet. Or pick it out even.

    Most IKEAs I've been to, have been enormous. I only visit IKEA, if one of my friends drag me along. Don't really like to spend my entire day browsing for furniture.

    My new DVD shelf is pimp. I no longer have to stack my DVDs on top of each other! And, should I run out of space again, IKEA sells additional shelves for the Billy unit for $15.

    I wish I lived near an IKEA.

    We got a really nice book shelf from there, and also a stepping stool because my girlfriend is too short to reach the top cupboards in the kitchen.

    But otherwise, I hate it there. Once you step in you have to not only walk through the entire shop but also the entire warehouse to get out of the place. It's a nightmare! No matter what day I go, it's always filled with families that have little kids who also do not want to be there and aren't ashamed to show the rest of us about it.

    Uh, maybe 'cause your girlfriend makes you? You don't have to walk through the whole thing.

    Though I like to. And I have dinner there. ^_^
