Preppy is the New Hipster

this is what i wanted to post when i moved in on tuesday
I have a proper bedroom for the first time since May 2002. That is over six years if anyone is keeping track. It is so beautiful. I have a dresser, a double bed, plenty of shelves, a decent/shitty closet (I’ll settle on this occasion), I have a desk, bedside table, a balcony, a window next to my bed (did I mention it’s a double) two lamps, ceiling lights, and a nice big glass of Jameson to help digest it all. I don’t know my roommates yet. I think I have three girls-one American, one French and a Dutchy-if I am not mistaken.
(‘everything in its right’ place just came on the shuffle on my itunes)
The big question is…..am I going to keep it clean? I have made the excuse for years now that I can’t keep my bedroom clean because it is too small, or too big in the case of the bedroom at my parents place. I mean that is the most bullshitty argument ever, seriously. I don’t know. Recently my big theme has been all about being true to myself and truly knowing who that person is, so on that note, I am going to say no, which leaves no room for disappointment. Besides, really, its way too big to keep clean.
I can’t wait for sleepovers. Too bad I only have it for a month. Oh well! I’ll enjoy it. By for now, I have to keep unpacking/making it look lived in/making it messy.
Oh yeah.

You know, some people say they take pride in having a clean room - and I suppose I have to take them at their word, they certain appear to love it. I just can't function that way. It pains me to pick everything up, and honestly, when it's done, I hate it. I look around and it looks empty. It looks boring. It doesn't look like me at all (because obviously I'm neither empty nor boring). Here's a good test, I think: do you make your bed? If you do - I mean, I'm not saying you're a bad person, I'm sure many, possibly most of my friends do, but... I think I will just never understand that behavior. You're gonna get *right back in there* in like less than 24 hours. You're just gonna mess it all up again. Who cares? I'm not gonna be able to sleep until I tear everything apart and arrange it just-so, anyway, so what's the point?
I don't keep anything clean, but I do make my bed, well does throwing my duvet over the top count?
i totally agree with the empti-ness comment. i was snooping around my house the other day and i came across one of my roommates superclean/superboring room. i realized we probably wouldnt be great friends.
