Oh man, free stuff?!

I love free stuff. Half the time I'll accept free things just 'cause they're free, and I might need it later. Free samples? I'm in! A few days ago there was a "lovely" computer desk by the elevator with a scrawled note offering the poor, rejected piece of furniture to anyone willing to drag it away. One side was falling off, and it's not the prettiest desk there is, but the price was right. And it just so happens I have a dude sleeping on my couch for the next couple months, who has been sitting on the floor for the past week to use his computer. So we dragged the thing back to my apartment, and he fixed it all up (if you count taking out all the shelves to make room for his computers "fixing").

This fall I get a lovely little studio for my senior year, and I need stuff to put in it. I'd planned to yard sale next saturday and look for a small desk/table, or goodwill if I had to. Something, anything, that wasn't too big and was cheap. Then today what do we find? Two more free pieces of furniture! Hooray! A small regular desk and an entertainment center.

A few pictures of our score:


The original computer desk. It's got all the shelves and stuff, but he took them out.


My new studio desk! Free is totally better than...well any price, except maybe if someone paid me to take it. It's the perfect size to fit in the studio, and I won't have to worry about trashing it with paint.


Ignore the douche with the gay rug. That tv is totally too small, BUT the tv was also free from a separate free-stuff score. We can't get everything arranged until the douche moves out, but we'll finally have real furniture. ...After we scrape those stupid stickers off.
