QotD: My Dream Room

In your ultimate dream house, what does your favorite room look like?

Heh. Something I can answer from my laptop (I don't have sharing set up on the Mini or else I'd be uploading music from the comfort of the couch as well...I should do that).

I don't have grand visions of an ultimate dream house. I've never had. I have fleeting moments, like wanting the movie room in Rob Zombie's house from an episode of MTV's Cribs, or being in someone's home and thinking something is cool but I rarely dream like that. I don't have a dream car, an ideal room, etc. Hell, I spend almost all my waking moments in front of a computer screen and I don't even have a perfect rig planned out. I like fine things but I also adapt really well. I've lived in motel rooms, I've been, for all intents and purposes, homeless and slept where I could and I've never felt too out of sorts or uncomfortable.

I've also become much more minimalist as I've gotten older. I don't need a lot of space or a lot of things. I like gadgets but most of the expensive equipment I roll with doesn't require a lot of space. I spend my money on experiences much more than I do on stuff. I don't even buy new clothes or shoes very often. I do buy lots of drinks and nice meals and music and tickets.

All of this is a long winded  pre-amble to the answer to the question: the most important room in any place I live is the kitchen. The place I eventually purchase should have a kitchen large enough for people to congregate. At parties, I always end up in the kitchen much like all the most interesting party guests. The drinks are usually there. The treats are usually there. The secrets are usually there. The only way I would be anywhere else in a party is if there's a dance floor.

Cuz if you don't want me to spill all your secrets, there better be room for me to get down.
