| Boom. |
My bedroom is depressingly stale and empty; I don't even have a bed. Seriously, I sleep on a mat on the floor. The asceticism of it pleases me, plus it's just more comfortable that way. All that cover up the whitewashed bland walls are a giant and majestic British flag, an ugly brown dresser, my big plastic blue laundry basket, a really cool Dalek poster, and two little tourist flags; British and German.
My favourite item is probably my recently acquired map of interwar Europe. Germany and Austria are nearly the same colour (Germany is pink and Austria is orange) and from a certain distance they look as though they're the same country (incidentally, they would be, just before the Second World War) and the Republic of China spans all of the territory of the old Qing Dynasty. The British Empire takes up 1/4 of the world and the Soviet Union is comfortably excluded from Europe by the lovely straight Polish and Romanian eastern borders. It's sure as hell not perfect, in fact I'd prefer a 1914 or even a customized fictional or alternate history map, but it'll do.
If I acquired my entire wishlist of room items, I would be left with a large surplus of treasures crammed into the rest of my relatively small apartment. As such, I'll refrain from making my list too long. Yes, I am composing a list of what I want in my room. Yes, I am capable of restraint (except with semicolons; I adore semicolons). No, the intriguing faux Van Gogh painting of the exploding TARDIS didn't make the list, despite my avid fascination with it; it gets to head this post instead.
I'd definitely redesign my entire room as well, but I haven't the foggiest idea where to start (interior design is not my strong suit, but you'd have to play Minecraft with me and see my horrible, empty square single room houses to find that out). Never mind; Prussian blue walls and a real bed would be a great place to start. Also... can I please have a House Targaryen t-shirt and some sort of fancy WWII officer coat with buttons? Either way, I'm lacking the staple of any young man: attractive women, real or portrayed (though Captain Jack Harkness would be more than fine)! Sigh. I'd best get on with my list.
Along with a large German flag, lush carpet, and fancy furniture to complement them, I'd certainly appreciate these four beauties (framed, obviously):
 |
| Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Germany. |
 |
| The Reichstag building in Berlin, Germany, circa 1900. |
 |
| The capital of the German Empire, circa 1900. |
 |
| RMS Titanic by Ken Marschall (this is where the British flag comes in handy). |
Those are all rather grandiose and dramatic, aren't they? Well, don't worry, I have
some taste. I'm not entirely stuck in the past...

| Featuring Amy Pond's legs and a Dalek in a bubble. Don't blink. |
