i think the only way to keep my room clean is to throw out all of my personal belongings and try to maintain an empty room (maybe i'll board up the windows, rip out the carpet, and paint everything white). i don't need much of this shit anyway, i just tend to hold on to everything for sentimental purposes. even stupid junk like broken pencils and dismembered action figures, or books that i'll never read but were given to me by my cousin, are not easy to let go of because they arouse an otherwise neglected or forgotten memory.

and the term "pack rat" is the ugliest, most disgusting label i've heard of. yuck, i can't be that.
