Bedroom furniture census

[dr_whom]

That's right, it's time for another bedroom furniture census! Occasionally I start wondering how much of the stuff in my apartment actually belongs to me, and suspecting the answer is "not that much". Let's find out:

• Nightstand. Given to me by my parents in—1998? 2003? One of those, anyway.
• Queensize mattress. Left behind in the apartment by q10 when he moved out in 2006.
• Short bookcase. Bought by me in 2003.
• Bureau. Bought by me in 2003.
• Papasan chair. Left behind by q10 in 2006.
• Tall bookcase. Bought by me in 2011.
• Two short shelf thingies. Found by me on the sidewalk in Cambridge in 2003.
• Filing cabinet. Left behind in the apartment by Uz when he moved out in 2011.
• Window air conditioner. Left behind by q10 in 2006.
• Medium bookcase. Left behind in the room by anasai when she moved out in 2009.
• Wooden chair. Found by me being thrown out by Penn during College House renovation in 2004 or 2005.
• End table. Left behind in Philadelphia by pastwatcher when she moved away in 2009.
• Desk. Bought by me in 2003.
• Desk chair. Given to me in lieu of throwing it out by former roommate JA (or DS?) in 2004 (or 2005?).

So, it looks like my bedroom has a higher percentage of things I actually purchased, and a lower percentage of things left behind here by former roommates, than I expected. The living room and kitchen probably have a higher abandoned-property ratio than my bedroom, though. Perhaps I'll do a census of those later.

You have me beat - exactly zero of the furniture in my bedroom (or, for that matter, my entire apartment) belongs to me.

On the bright side, I'm pretty sure my towel no longer lives at your place, right?

Your towel is totally still here.
