I cleaned my room today.
You know how I never let anybody in?
It's because it's always messy.
This is because I haven't cleaned it since we moved in.
That was ten years ago.
I'm serious. I was pretty much living in a crack den.
I would show you some before and after pictures, except I didn't take any before pictures and my camera's batteries are almost dead. (and I can't find the charger)
However, some highlights:
When throwing shit away from the closet, I came across an old rasta wig thing that was part of a halloween costume a few years back. When I touched it, it sort of...crumbled. One minute it was in my hands, next it was between my fingers.
I found a penny with mold on it. A motherfucking penny.
Oddly enough, the only insect life either me or my mom (who was following up on dusting duty) found was a spider living in the windowsill. Ten years of accumulated dust and junk, and the only bug was a solitary spider.
I must say, I felt the slightest bit like Indiana Jones...I was afraid that any minute I could step on a section of floor and find a dart in my neck. Also I found the Ark of the Covenant.
So yeah, one more day of cleaning and I should be a functioning member of society.
