My game room
I have one room that is pretty much all to myself. It is called the "Play Room" to people like my sister and parents. To me though it's "The Ultimate Man Room". The room itself is fairly large. To give you a rough idea, I'd say it's a little bit bigger than the Writing Lab here at NWSCC. The roof on that side of the house is extended and angled, so we can get a big screen for a big football game or one of my wrestling pay-per-view parties...although that rarely happens. The room has a total of 5 windows and a sliding glass door at the back leading to my back yard where the pool and trampoline are both located. On the front side of the room I have my T.V. with my Xbox 360 hooked up on that. It sits on a corner shelf that was built into the wall to hold all my DVDs, VHS tapes, video games and all the accessories for the Xbox. Underneath that stand, in another compartment, i have a stereo system and (if i could hook it all up) a surround sound system. The couch is about 5 ft away from the T.V. so you can get the relaxed feel when you play video games and you don't need to worry about the controller cord getting messed up. The end table at the side of the couch holds sports mags and a few books, but most of the books are located on my 2 book shelves at the back of the room. I have a glass/wooden stand that holds all of my cards (WWE Raw Deal, Texas Hold Em set, etc). That sits to the right of the couch along the wall. At the back room, my mom decided to put a cabinet with some of her stuff in there. I don't know the contents of the cabinet and would prefer not to. It never gets opened because I feel it would ruin the atmosphere. I have a card area set up towards the back of the room. There my friends and i play Raw Deal and Poker mostly, but it is also used for my homework and reading. I also have my computer conveniently located straight across from that card area so if anyone needs to ask questions on cards or rules we can look them up easily. In the back corners of of the room are 2 closets. One is mine while the others is my sister's (once again i don't open hers and she knows not to leave it open because of the severe PAIN it would cause me to see her things in MY ROOM). She has her Barbies and dolls in a big stand up sorted cabinet, but it's always closed. Along with that she has her cradle with her stuffed animals, but i keep it covered up with a blanket so no one sees it! My closet contains all of my toys and games from my young days. I have all the board games like Monopoly and SORRY! in there along with my Batman figures, wrestling figures, and just some other random toys. There are 2 doors leading into the rest of the house (one is blocked by a chair though). My dog's cages are also in the room with me, but we clean them often so the room doesn't smell like dog! The walls (unfortunately for me) are covered with my step-dad's Cleveland Browns memorabilia. Some of it is really neat (like the Bernie Kosar poster) but I think it needs to all be replaced by OSU and Indianapolis Colts stuff. So there you have it. The room that when I am there becomes my playground. The one place where i feel like i fit in and can have fun without people making fun of me!

I really like how you describe the room. I can tell how much you enjoy this room just by the way you write about it!
