Childhood Friend's House | Ramblings

Originally written on August 20, 2023 When I saw — bare, I remember that she was sitting on that coach and the curvilinear grid design of its wooden sides. As a result of this, these sides invited me to insert my hand through them. In addition, I remember the strange sight and feeling of the green foam bedding on the coach. I think I remember seeing portraits and various frames hanging on the wall in the middle of a dull, messy house. Particularly, the room was dark, and it looked like — and — were used to it. Furthermore, I remember the flash of diffused sunshine a little to my right amid the quiet. Specifically, this light aimed 45-degrees away from me at the wall to my right. I remember that I was sitting next to the door which led to the open gray and red roof made of corrugated metal. In fact, I remember the glass windows composed of five or six panes of glass attached to adjustable metal latches on the sides. Significantly, I remember that these latches held the panes from the sides and in such a way that when one adjusted them by pulling them down or pushing them up, they angled the panes toward and to an alignment with one another or away from one another within a sequence of a closed phase or an open one, respectively. Regarding it as a design choice, I saw it in three places: the church, the house across the street from the church, the cement house on the right side in the middle street of — — from the viewpoint from the gate when entering. Lastly, I remember the way the diffused light of a cloudy day reflected through those bluish- or greenish-coated panes. I remember the red pillows and small glass tables probably with magazines. Additionally, I remember the various positions of the dining table. Initially, I remember it next to the wall on the left from the viewpoint of the entrance. Secondly, I remember it in the middle of the area which was comprised of the kitchen area. I remember the feeling of the linear pattern of the load-bearing wooden floor and the startingly distinct, tactile intermittence of the nails embedded in the floor. I remember lying down and pressing myself against the floor in anticipation of anyone entering the room. In addition, I remember the sight of the father of — and — and the awkwardness I felt while standing in his presence. Regarding this, his behavior extended to that outside of my expectations of what I expected from authority; however, I was curious, which made me gravitate toward a sense of open-minded awkwardness rather than defiance of those unknown. I remember seeing — sitting on the windowsill. Indeed, the wooden wall which included those bare windows looked termite-eroded with a diffusion of interconnecting cavities. Yet, these erosions could have been characteristic of a rare portion of the wall rather than representative of the majority of the makeup. The countertop area of the house was mint-green–coated, and I remember seeing various metal cookware. Moreover, I think I remember seeing an array of kitchenware hanging on a rack attached to the mint-green wall. Also, I remember seeing physical pictures on the refrigerator next to the countertop on the farther side from the viewpoint of the entrance. Additionally, I remember the gray coating and the dark gray accent pigments of the refrigerator. From the viewpoint of the entrance, I remember the sunshine beaming across the windows and onto the wall on the west. Besides, I remember the white chairs and the bumpy way they interacted with the ground when one slid it octilinearly. From a top down view, provided that the entrance is at the westmost side at the bottom, the countertop is on the east side at the south side behind a wall oriented alongside and on the same side as the door. In the same area, the placements the dining table adopted changed over the years. Namely, this includes the placement next to the west wall a meter in front of the entrance and that placement in between the positions of the wall, the entrance, and the countertop which form the corners of a triangle. Anyway, I think I remember the position of a cabinet or a multi-receptacle storage container next to the west wall in between the door when it is in a open state and the table when it is next to the wall. In another portion of the room, I remember an enclosure of long seats with the glass table in the middle positioned at the top of the top-down layout and eastmost within the four-sided boundaries of the room which extends openly across the dining-kitchen area and that of the living room. Considering these boundaries, I remember that the TV was adjacent to the east boundary and a meter from the north boundary on a TV stand which I think accommodated receptacles and lay beneath two or so rows of shelves. Furthermore, I remember the door adjacent to the west boundary and on the northmost boundary which led to the open roof, an extension within the top-down layout. Similarly, two rooms extended from the east boundary while maintaining the linearity of the rectangular sides of the layout. In relation to their volume allocation, these rooms together shared a large portion of the layout. Moreover, a door connected these rooms each, while a photo hung in front of the doors high on the separating wall. Furthermore, I remember the pillows and the beds. Besides, I remember the lattice portions of the walls in the rooms. Finally, I think I remember seeing some portraits, specifically that of — — — — and — — —.
