  Auri's Room

   As part of my "getting to know Auri Mynonys" series of blogs, I took a whole lot of pictures of my room. The things within a person's room say a lot more about them than words really can. So here is a complete tour of my room (when it's clean and pretty, of course).

  

  My bedroom is at the end of the hall on the third story of my house. When you first walk in, this is what you'd see - my bed, my Star Wars posters, my giant pink unicorn - and, of course, my cat Tasha. The sign on the door, "Defy Gravity," was inspired by the musical Wicked. The comic strip below it is a Zits one about Jeremy and his tendency to hide away in his room all the time. I jokingly call my room "my hermitage" because of all the time I spend there.

  

  Now you've walked into my room. My bed is big and comfy and oftentimes doubles as my desk in my really busy school season. You can see all the lovely posters on my wall behind my bed. Most of them are Lord of the Rings related.

  

  A better picture of my Wall of Crazy. Most of the pictures are Lord of the Rings related, though you can see my V for Vendetta poster and my Jafar picture. There are also notes from friends and boyfriends, fan poems, and artwork hanging up there.

   

  My  two brand new Star Wars posters, my fairy calendar, and my work schedule, conveniently located at Staring distance. Also there's a tiny picture of Theoden and Eowyn hanging up there; I cut out their outlines and so couldn't fit them into the original patchwork of my Wall of Crazy.

  

  The wall next to my bedis loaded up with stuff. I have a series of racks to hang scarves, belts, purses, and my Fellowship cloak. My nightstand is below those racks; it has my lamp, kleenex, alarm, stack of library books, and commonplace book, where I write funny quotes, stories, and dreams.

  

  My dresser, covered in various memoribilia from times past, and my closet, which has a bookshelf on one side and clothes on the other. My bookshelf has loads of notebooks, my Brit Lit textbooks, and a lot of fun novels. It's also decorated with My Little Ponies and other crazy figures.

  

  The back wall of my room houses another bookshelf and my computer desk. This is my favorite bookshelf - it's pretty expressive. It's got my favorite books and some of my favorite stuff on it.

   

  Here is my actual desk, complete with TV and map of Middle Earth. Darth Maul guards the top of my television. My Muse Pony and Muse Barbie hang out on the desk, too, pluse my high school writing award, a photo carousel, and my Aladdin snow globe. The dresser next to my desk displays a small portion of my penguin collection and a few other stuffed animals and toys - Galadriel Barbie, another Darth Maul, and a My Little Pony or two.

  That's the basic tour. If you're interested, here are details about what's on my shelves.

  

  The top shelf here is dedicated to my earrings and some of my favorite dolls from days past. The small porcelain doll with the big skirt is named Colleen; my aunt bought her for me when I was small because I too am named Colleen. The Wicked Witch of the West Barbie is named Mini Elphaba; I have a bigger one on the next level. The Star Trek Barbies have been in storage for a year but came out to celebrate the new movie. India Barbie was purchased for an 8th grade project and has been recostumed many times, but is finally reunited with her entire original costume.

  

  The next shelf hosts my Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings books. It also is the resting place for my 12" Eowyn, who's lounging on a really cool handmade Barbie couch. The couch looks like something out of a Victorian movie, but it's actually made out of strips of tin cans, painted ivory and red. There are little cushions so that it makes comfy seating. There are matching chairs that I intend to purchase in the near future for display purposes.

  Hanging out next to 12" Eowyn are my Grima Wormtongue and Eowyn action figures. I am a total villain fangirl and I love Grima's character and his angst-ridden love and betrayal in Eowyn's name. So he gets to spend some time with an Eowyn action figure on my shelf.

  The Barbie is an Isolde Barbie, but she makes me think of what Eowyn looked like in my head before the movie. She has a cup in her hand. And hugging the support is Big Elphie, who is a Robert Tonner Wicked Witch collectible. She has a stand, but it's wobbly and I prefer to pose her lounging anyway.

  

  The next shelf has journals, behind-the-scenes guides to Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean, and a couple Star Wars related books. My complete Pirates soundtrack set hangs out here, as well as my homemade Queen Amidala doll. My mom made her for me out of a hairspray bottle, a cardboard egg, a strange ornament, and some felt and lace. I didn't appreciate her much at the time, but now all my commercially made Queen Amidala dolls have been given away. She is my favorite now anyway.

  

  My Legolas Ken, extended LOTR soundtracks, diary, shirtless Darth Maul, and CD player. (I have a lot of Darth Mauls. He is my favorite villain ever, amongst my villain collection.)

  The bottom shelf contains all fourteen Wizard of Oz books, some random paperbacks, and more copies of LOTR. I have somewhere around six copies of The Lord of the Rings and would still be willing to buy more.

  There; the most important details of my room.
