Hey,,,,

I wrote this for my mom had told me for the umpteenth time to clean my room...

.Ok I agree somedays my room can be like a mausoleum where you might find things that you are not looking for and do not find things you are looking for or Step on something and hope to death that it was not your pet....Some parts of my room is a graveyard where you will find coffins(boxes) filled with corpses of old school books and other junk. My clothes seem to have a life of their own for how much ever I try to keep them in the closet, They some how are on the floor by the next day..hmmmm life of their own.

But on other days you will see my room looking like a fantasy land smelling very nice and you can clearly see your pet lazing, even the coffins look happy and gay.
My clothes are locked up and pressed neatly. I mean you can see my room like this more than the dirty days.

I have the mausoleum only when I work too late or try different combinations of my clothes OR try moving the furniture to a different style.

Tell me If you have catacombs in your own house.

Cheers

My room is generally messy, but when my mom tells me to clean it, it gets slightly better. I move all my stuff from the floor to the closet. When she tells me to clean my closet I move it under my bed, and when she tells me to clean under my bed I sorta scatter it and make it look somewhat nice.

Right now, my room is spic-and-span. Funny, however, that you should mention changing with the seasons because that is exactly what best describes the cleanliness of my room.

My mom and I generally have this understanding: I can clean my room a bit ever and anon but, if she really wants it clean, they have to clear the house for roughly a week.

See, the way I clean is this: I haul everything outside, clean the very floors, walls and ceilings of my room, down to last corner then organize and clean everything as they come back in. It'd be pretty simple, if I didn't have a lot of stuff. Runestones, my Snoopy collection, odds and ends of cordage, notebooks in various states of dustiness and, sometimes, money. Just recently, I found PhP400, which, at the moment is about $8.35 Anyway, the point is, I need just about every surface in the house to put my stuff on while I clean my room.

My mother, on the other hand, loves to plan "family" vacations every summer. (We don't have school during summer) She'd haul us off to someplace in the provinces and build sandcastles on beaches, swim on pools, view scenery and, generally, have fun. I, however, abhor long-haul travel in a land vehicle so I usually come up with an excuse to stay home.

It's is a somewhat uneasy treaty. I grudgingly agree to clean my room while they are away but, in return, I get to "own" the house for a week. I have to feed the dogs myself but I also get to choose what I want to eat, what I want to cook and, sometimes, what I want to do. Not that I usually do much aside from cleaning my room (yes, it does take up a whole day) but it means I can sleep whenever I want. I can slumber in broad daylight and stay up late as much as I want.

So, as you can probably infer, my family had gone on vacation recently. I'm breathing clean, non-dusty air and working on an organized desk.

I'm not being defensive or anything, however, but my room isn't all that bad. Sure, there'd be lots of dust and granular matter but I am pretty sure the only macroorganisms in there are me, an orchid plant and a few spiders. There are no disgusting organisms like fungal lifeforms, roaches, flies or mosquitoes (unlike some people I know, who drink coffee from moldy mugs *shudders*)

Ah, what the heck, I don't have to explain myself, haha. Think whatever you want to think

Believe it or not. My room is very clean! I am not a neat freak...but I just like a clean room. If it is too messy it just gets in the way of doing things in my view. Plus it just looks bad on who you are. You can judge a person by what their room looks like in my view!

My room is usually always neat. I like a neat, clean room because it puts you at peace. You can be at rest. You have nothing to worry about. I can't stand it when my room is messy! I'm not a neat freak or control freak or dorky loser or anything but I definetly prefer a neat room.

My room used to be neat and clean until lately when i've been behind on my school work, havn't really been able to do anything. I'll probably clean it up a bit today as... well I'd be surprised not to find a packrat in here. My closet is somewhat clean as all my stuff ends up on my floor, whatever makes my room messy either doesn't go in the closet or its my clothes that i'm too lazy to hang at the moment. mainly just computer/game stuff and clothes I havn't put away yet. Other than that, the only other sore spot in my room would be my desk as i only make enough space for my laptop to set down and nothing else really, its mainly a bunch of junk that I have no use for, but oh well, I guess i'm the packrat in my room.

Most of the time my room is messy, but it's not like a total pig sty. I DO sometimes clean and organize everything if I have a lot of spare time. After that, the room (and desk) stays clean for a while until school/work starts to bulid up to the point when I can't catch up and clean the room at all. Then, I start to leave clothes on the floor, "forget" to hang up my shirts/jackets, leave documents somewhere EXCEPT in places where I should put them. So...in short, I'm not the most organized person in the world when it comes to keeping my room/desk clean.

I am surprised somebody was willing enough to ask such a bold question as that. Since most of the answers that will be given aren't too pretty to imagine....

But, in this case my room on a scale of 1-10 I'd give it an 8, usually. Since my weekly chore is to clean up my room, so I am forced to clean it. But, you would be surprised on how dirty it can get in one week. No, I don't share my room with anybody and still you'll see clothes on the ground that I swear would never fit me in a million years, yet they are in my room. But, I do clean it up and organize it and make it all tidy. What does bother me is when parents, actually just moms clean their sons/daughters room for them. Is this not teaching them any self-discpline? All it is oing is telling them it is okay to throw your clothes on the floor as someone will always clean after you. But, if I had the choice of who would have the burden of cleaning my room, I too would chose my mother Shows how big of a hypocrite I am....

My room is not very messy. I have one stack of papers / school books right next to my desk that has built up over this semester since i have been very busy. Normally, there is nothing on the floor and everything is organized on my desk, etc. For me, i try to clean once i see the dust on my desk and i also try to vacuum every couple of weeks.

Hi bk2070,

Yes I do agree with you about all the moms cleaning up the place. My room like I told you is a tornado struck land for you will see things foreign to both the visitor and me on the floor or table.

So I came up with a very brilliant idea one lazy afternoon when I could not find my books. I decided that I would clean my room till the last corner and leave access only to my clothes and bare essentials like books and computer.

Its like firewalling and it works efficiently for then the room stays clean for a bit longer and I don't use the things I don't need but like I said my things have a life of their own as they tend to get out even after all the efforts.

In short the battle still goes on between me and my room

Cheers
