Much work to do!

I guess working on my blog motivated me to do RL working... But I did get some work done in my room. I really need to clear the floor, but my thought process told me to clean out my drawers first.

Not my clothes drawers... I have a drawer in my room that has nothing but "stuff" in it. School stuff, hair stuff, stuff stuff. Well, I tackled the top 4 drawers that are really small.

The stuff that's on the floor plus the giant bag hanging from the door is pretty much the content of all those drawers. It really got to the point I couldn't open the drawers without shoving stuff down to be able to pull it open. Very good move I must say.

At one point, I was hurling stuff into the trash bag (mostly old papers and samples of stuff that had passed their prime and I knew I wasn't going to use) until I got to some items I wanted to keep. But then I looked at the items and I was like "Geez, no wonder I can't open my drawers." There were books from elementary school, CDs, really poor-quality stuffed animals...

Virtual pets :3 This was the hardest to work with. They're all very sentimental to me. Aside from the Tamagotchi that belonged to my brother and the Pokemon Pikachu, the packaging is in pretty much pristine condition. Opened carefully and kept safe while the pets were used in the wild. The people who find these at Goodwill will be very happy. Maybe someone on a nostalgia trip will get a smile.

However, I couldn't part with all of them <3

At the end of the day, I not only cleared out those drawers but also my bedside drawers. They're all perfectly organized and I must say, I feel very proud of myself.

I now have a hair accessory drawer!!!!!!! So excited! A nice and (semi) neat place to put my headbands and hair clips. I lined it with some cheap fake satin that I found in another drawer. It's kinda ghetto-rigged right now, but if i really like the setup, I think I'll make it more permanent.

After all of the cleaning, this is what I found out about myself:

• I have WAY too many samples of shampoo, lotion, bodywash, deodorant, etc and I need to use all that up before I buy anymore.
• Chanel N° 5 is not a scent I can live with right now and is really really really powerful and cannot be washed off or masked underneath other fragrances.
• I miss writing letters to people.
• I have too much stuff.
• I had a lot of crushes and I have records of all the silly things those crushes have made me do.

Well, tomorrow, I think I'll begin on tidying up the rest of my room (maybe)
