I think that cleaning should be listed as, like, an Olympic sport or something. No, seriously, the really heavy-duty cleaning that one does when one looks at one's room and realizes
oh my god I can't see the floor anymore, or when one is scouring a room clean before presenting it to a potential new roommate. It could be its own set of competitions -- trash-bag hefting, junk throwing, organizing -- you'd get bonus points for how meticulous and/or creative you were in your styles!
There's something almost soothingly monotonous about the whole ordeal, which would be great if I were more in the mood for that -- but I think I used it up trying to code my new layout, er. XD; In my case, I fully admit I'm a messy person; it just sort of compounded and got worse, because I kept putting it off to do other stuff (like check my mail and play Solitaire and now I'm thinking lunch). Like, you know, study. And play. And then study and play some more, and did I mention playing and studying? Yeah.
Still, I think I'm making good progress! I got one of the rooms cleaned in two hours with help, and after a distracted three hours of wandering back and forth between computer and room, my own is actually looking pretty good! ... well, okay, "good" is a relative term, but ...
On the other hand, it'll be good to get some of this junk cleared up and out of the way. And my new desk! ♥ I really like the one that
rivendellrose let me use, but the only problem is the lack of actual drawers -- I am way too used to having papers/pencils/other supplies right there if I need them, but in this current setup, my papers are kept in my dresser, and it's stupid, but I dislike breaking the rhythm of homework-doing to get up and get paper. XD; Or new lead. Or anything, really, but I'm neurotic like that, HI.
Today, I am pretending to be summery by wearing a tanktop, capris, and a bandanna. Plus a sweater to try and mask the fact that oh my god, cleavage. o_O;;;; I look, I think, vaguely like some wannabe hippie that wandered into a disaster area. And I want to go and get myself a coke and maybe some chocolates, but I turned in applications to several places tomorrow and I
may be getting callbacks, so I'm anxiously hanging on for news of that. XD;; I mean, the answering machine is up there in Sean's room, but it would really suck to miss her by something like five minutes. Er. /paranoia
Also, why didn't anyone tell me about the Fullmetal Alchemist Reflections thing? T_T I only found out about it because
daringu mentioned it, and now it's been like three months, and I don't know if the download will ever finish. XD; You know you're an eager fangirl when you don't mind only five minutes of new footage, because hey, it's
five minutes of new footage! Obviously, I need to get minions like the cat has.
... and now (speak of the devil) said cat is whining at me outside my door, so I should probably go play with him to appease his beastly desires, and then eat lunch. LEFTOVERS HO!
