Journal by the_mad_poster

*ahem*

I haven't washed my dishes in a week, I've never run the vacuum cleaner, I don't even OWN a vacuum cleaner. I've washed the bathroom once since I moved in and I have some sort of freaky moldpot in the fridge that is so overgrown that there is nothing left resembling the food that started out as SOMETHING edible (though, in all fairness, the mold is PROBABLY edible).

Somehow I bleached part of the floor, I drilled holes in the window frame and plastic cover on the sill, my bed is about half an inch from collapsing on itself because I lost the screws that hold the frame to the base (old waterbed frame with a mattress in it) and I have so many clothes, books, computers, computer parts, and miscellaneous trinkets laying around that I can barely move.

I haven't checked my mail in a week, my dish rag STILL won't bend, and I have a computer monitor and about 4 months worth of mail in the bench seat of my car. There are computer components in the trunk.

You might say I'm a little disorganized.... maybe.

  • Long Term: Spend some time living with a person messier than you are. You'll spend the rest of your life feeling like some sort of clean freak.

    Short Term: All I can think of for this one are moderately clever ways of phrasing the obvious.

    This Very Moment: Don't worry about it. I'd say that based on the description given, you're right around the 50th percentile for your demographic.

      Fuel air bombs?

    • Hmm, or try living with a cleaner person :-)

      My present roomie is a cleanliness freak. It's a good thing in several ways because I've become a whole lot, ahem, organized. On the other hand, it does piss me off sometimes.

  • Bed? (Score:1)

    by elmegil ( 12001 )
    I lived on mattress and boxspring on the floor for more years than I care to remember. Just take it down, man.
    • I consider myself to have things fairly well together in the domestic arena these days, yet my bed is a 3" foam pad with a cheap futon "mattress" on it.

      To me it's more comfortable than the typical mattress and boxspring, and it's totally silent, if ya know what I mean.
    • heh me too... g/f hates it! but I'm too lazy to get a frame, or even a new bed. Besides, it took me a long time to make that indent!
  • although you might get charged extra due to the extreme mess.

    Otherwise it sounds like the kind of pit my living space turns into. Although I will point out that I try to make sure my furniture is holding together (supprisingly I have quite a bit of decent stuff too) and I'm for some reason rather picky about keeping the kitchen clean though I will let the floor get pretty gross.
  • A flame thrower. It disinfects too.

    One thing about living with someone is it makes me live a "cleaner" lifestyle, but I don't think the downsides are worth it (yes I am in a cranky mood this morning, thankyouverymuch).
