whatever, there is "art stuff" scattered across the floor, not like pizza boxes and general filth. good to have sane clean surroundings, but feel like thoreau's injunction regarding clothes and job might apply here. if you have to redo even the externals of your lifestyle to conform to prospective relationship expectations or mere sex, then maybe that enterprise is misguided? same would apply for act cleaner-uppers... obv. sometimes i guess might be profitable but in general a waste of time
avoid squares imo
or, if you are a square avoid the lost or people who are honest enough to be hapless at times.
and the rest of y'all go fuck yourselves.
amen.

first time i went to an ex-gf's place she made me hold off for like six hours while she cleaned her place top to bottom. so confounding. tbh prob would have found her natural slovenly environment more charming than her overcooked neurotic efforts at tidying up.
though that was charming in its own way.
aw. people can be so sweet.

fun fact: ants and mice can hide beneath art supplies just as easily as newspapers and food waste. they show up more slowly, but they show up anyway.

ok, I was mostly making excuses
but tbh I am a guy who has had magazines/books/comics/music/electronics strewn everywhere and yeah, you end up with dust on everything and I have ruined things by stepping on, tripping on, or accidentally spilling drinks on more things than I can count
also there is a 0% chance you can ever have any sort of non-caged pet with that setup

Sad thing is, her place before the tidying-up effort probably still looked better than my place after an emergency tidying-up effort....
I'm quite good about keeping the bathroom clean and not leaving food out - I do have guests over alot, not to mention two flatmates. But my own bedroom goes to hell whenever I'm not in some semblance of a relationship.

I have a hilarious story 'bout gettin' busy in a car - or more accurately an unsuccessful attempt at same - from my college years. Funnier for other people than it was for me actually. Will recount if anyone's interested.

It's been proven by purely anecdotal evidence from my own experience that Thomas the tank engine causes autism. My four year old runs to me in a panic shouting 'Thomas is on and Henry is in the living room!!!!Quick!!!!' then we both run in and I change the channel while she lures her 1 year old brother's attention away from the TV. In any case living with so much stuff everywhere can definitely cause some kinds of disorder. Mental I mean. I'm sure of it but I was raised to believe a house in order = a mind in order. That goes for handbags too, ladies.
