This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don't think that (for example) my couch and my TV which are never used are adding beauty to my living room. I don't like sitting on a couch and watching TV, but for some reason I imagined that my friends would. Turns out that they don't like that either, so we never do it when we hang out (we don't hang out inside my house in the first place) and that stuff just costs money and takes up space.

If I were buying furniture all over again, I think I would just get a desk, an office chair, a bed (with a little end table), and my recliner. I eat at my desk, so I never use anything else.

That's a different matter altogether. The difference in your case would be the quality of the desk, chair, bed and so on that you'd buy. Also people decorate their houses and they do it because humans enjoy pretty things.
