      I didn't share my room with anybody else but from the time I was born till my sister moved away a few years back we always had our rooms right next to each other.

      For the first years my room was really ugly. Two walls were mustard yellow, one was white and the back wall had a gingam pattern in, you guessed it, yellow and white.

      When I was about seven or eight I was really fed up with it and asked my parents to change it. They were already doing renovations anyway so they were cool with it. I got wall paper that had a white background and a racing car pattern that matched my sheets that were already like that.

      In my teens, I had a wooden look, wainscotting which I really liked. The wall facing the left side of my bed I turned into a huge collage that covered my whole wall. I also had a Who collage poster I made myself, a Black Flag poster and that Pink Floyd one with some of their album covers painted on the backs of female models.

              I could never really paint the walls of my room since I've always lived in rented places.

              I usually just decorated my room with pictures and posters. When I was really little I use to have pictures of Snap, Krakle and Pop in my room. When I was 7 I got a poster of the Disney Afternoon characters at Disneyland so I put that in my room.

              When I moved to a house with wallpaper my room had white wallpaper with yellow and pink roses on it and the ceiling was pink the same color as the pink roses. I could put up posters, but only with push pins. I had up my Power Rangers poster and my Mickey Mouse playing soccer poster. I use to have some old Raggedy Ann curtains my cousins gave me when they had a Raggedy Ann Room in the 70s/80s.

              Now where I live I have my No Doubt pictures/posters up all on one wall. When I moved to the house I live at now I really wanted Power Ranger curtains. Now I'm glad my parents refused to get them.

                  i remember when my parents did renovation i told them i wanted to get black carpet with wallpaper i picked out that was in the pattern of blue bricks.

                  they instantly knew i was trying to make the room look like the underground level World 1-2 of Super Mario Bros. and refused

                    The place where I use the computer now was the room reserved for my toys. I had Little People and He-Man. It had a couch and a Black-and-White TV. In 1993 and 1994, the Toy Room that I had became a Music Room and until 2004, It's now the Computer Room.

                      My rooms were always a bit of a mess.
                      The ones I remember the most where from when I was 10 or 11.

                      At first I had a typical room, where I uses brown parcel tape and a black marker pen to map out a road network on the floor of my room for my toy cars. Was quite cool.

                      Then, as my siblings got older I was moved up into the attic, which was great for my toy cars as the floor was half carpeted, half concrete where I could use chalk and map out a new road network.

                      When I turned 12, I finaly got moved out of the Attic... it was far too warm to sleep in and I was getting very ratty due to irregular sleep as a result.

                      I was moved into the cellar (basement). It was fully carpeted and heated, but was nice and cool when I wanted it to be. This was the room I had my first Hi Fi and my first and till now ONLY true games console, a NES.

                      Quite unique rooms which were usually messy (as a boys room should be!). I'll never forget them

                        I dont remember my room before I was 13 but when I turned 13 I bought as many magazines as I could and literally wallpapered my room with posters. I had so many that you couldn't tell what color the wall or ceiling had been before I started. They were all posters of big hair bands too.lol. (which I still love by the way) I would turn up my stereo and look at all my posters-it was a great escape from the world. I had Montley Crue, Bon-Jovi, cinderella, matallica,slayer,slaughter, white lion, and most of the rest were Poison.

                          We had flowered wallpaper (almost trippy). Beige carpet covered with stuffed animals (i am not exaggerating). Two twin beds with blue and white sheets and matching comforters. A Carebear trash can and soft wallhanging thing with Tenderheart holding onto a red balloon. We had a huge dresser opposite our beds with a mirror on the back and a tv on it. There was a toy box with just toys (not stuffed animals). We also had a little toy highchair with a giant Raggedy Ann doll on it, it was in the corner next to my bed and bookshelf that was a foot from the ceiling. The bookshelf blocked an old air conditioner that didn't work. I used it as a hiding place for my Little Debbie Zebra Cakes (my favorite). Once the wallpaper came off, it was covered with posters of NKOTB, Beverly Hills 90210, Leonardo Dicaprio (from Growing Pains and later Titanic), Bush, and Stabbing Westward. It was an awesome room and i kinda miss it

                                Hey everyone, new here.

                                The Jurassic Park and Lost World Kenner figures. Sure, the figures rarely resembled their movie counterparts (Peter Ludlow had a full head of hair), but who cares when they're being mauled by Velociraptors?



                                But most of all: Lego, Lego, Lego. I still love and buy the things today.:D Here's Red Beard Runner, one of my favorite old sets.

                                  I'm studying to become a teacher. The dream is nothing new to me.

                                  I started out with a relatively plain room. It had white walls and yellow carpeting. Trains and sailboats were the primary decorations. There came a time when my mom asked me if I wanted to get a wallpaper border in 1990. I chose one with school buses.

                                  Soon I began to decorate my room as if it was a classroom. I made makeshift versions of the typical features found in first grade classrooms. I even put my art supplies out on a cart in labeled bins. The books had author call letters on their bindings. I had the colors on my closet door like they do in the classroom--mine were in Spanish on one side and English on the other--and yes, I made them myself with a little help from a Spanish dictionary. I owned multiple sets of flash cards. I had signs that read "welcome to the classroom" and even one that said "fire drill exit: this way" on my walls. And yes, I owned a real gradebook.

                                  I used big white books as pretend desks. My students were little guys I'd cut out of paper. They were diverse--there were boys and girls of varying sizes, races, ages, etc. Some had different eye/hair colors than others, a few wore glasses, they all had their own style, and some had rather strange names. Each one had their own personality. I, of course, was the teacher. I even had a huge list of class rules posted on the side of my dresser. I wrote class newsletters on the computer and even customized the curriculum on the educational programs I had to pretend I was doing something specific that day. Friends who were teachers gave me demonstration textbooks to work from and use as toys.

                                  By the time I moved I was too into sports to really devote much time to pretend play (plus I was older), but the desire remained. Now I go to school to be a teacher.

                                  Real teaching opportunities came up for me as well. I began to tutor in math and other subjects as I hit high school. It started as me helping my friends but later led to study sessions and one-on-one instruction for people I didn't really know that well. In particular, I've done math, history, computer science, and handwriting. This semester you can add a course that's an odd cross between ed, psych, and law to the list.

                                  I like to joke around with some of my friends in education about how I was determined to teach at a young age. I probably had the most bizarre bedroom of anyone on here--I had almost no toys in there except for my laptop, my art supplies, and my tape recorder.
