Spring cleaning! / 10/23/2011 @ 10/23/2011
Cleaning my room was horrible yesterday, but after one loooooooong laborious day of sorting, reorganising, scrubbing, vacuming and trashing out whatnot, I finally finished cleaning it.
Cleaning my room was horrible yesterday, but after one loooooooong laborious day of sorting, reorganising, scrubbing, vacuming and trashing out whatnot, I finally finished cleaning it.
I loathe grubby and dirty things and I have a little obsession with hygiene. But that doesn't necessarily mean that I am the neatest person around. I never knew that my room was so revoltingly unclean. I have forgot about the thousands of boxes and miscellaneous crap that was left under my bed a couple years ago, and there grew nothing but dust and weird, disgusting dust attracted insects. I found a fly lying upside down under one of the boxes which scared the hell out of me. It was horrifying the state of my room and shocking how I was so oblivious to it all!
Despite the gruesomeness of cleaning my room, I found a million things that piqued my nostalgia. I discovered drawings, miniature books I've made, short pieces of writing, books I used to read, board games, handmade crafty stuff and other things I remembered being around when I was young. I also came across the (what I assume) first Nintendo game console, the original Gameboy device which I remembered playing in those carefree days. It really made me realise how much life sucks right now compared to when I was a small kid. Whatever.
I threw out at least 7 garbage bag sized bags worth of unwanted stuff from my room. I cannot tell you how tiring it was trying to carry all those bags downstairs when each of them weighed at least my brother and I combined. After trashing out the crap, I had a lot of rearranging to do, as I tried to think of the most space efficient ways to fit my things in my room, and the challenge was to not have anything under the bed again, for hygiene reasons. Everything fitted neatly and well, and afterwards my room seemed much less crowded and bigger in a way. To reward myself I bought the current issue of Frankie (my subscription starts on the next issue god dammit). And so the dull cloudy day was resulted with a clean, grime-free room with a Frankie magazine and a hot milo. I would include a picture but my brother has my camera.
So 10 claps for me!
