here's a quick tip for awesome rooms:

want a dry erase board but go are they unnaturally expensive? go ask for some white tile board at homedepot instead, brace it up against some louan or thin plywood, motherfucking dry erase board

or ask for black tile board, get those spiffy neon highlighter dry erase board markers, now you have a glow-in-the-dark-only-not-really-but-what-if-you-framed-that-shit-with-blacklights-motherfuckersI'll

did you never have glow-in-the-dark things as a child? You expose them to the light, and then when you turn the lights off, they glow. If you leave them in the dark for a long time, they stop glowing.

They don't get as bright as they do in the pic unless you shine a light directly on them (or have a blacklight on them). I don't know if the blacklight even "charges" the stars enough to keep them lit after it's turned off, but even so you wouldn't be able to see the light with your eyes closed. They're glow in the dark stars, not lightbulbs. Someone's parents didn't love them.

Also 'fuck' because I'm cool.
