    Default You are filth.

    My husband thinks he is a minimalist and that I am messy. I think that he is a freakface and I am normal. His desk has one decorative object on it; my desk has like two dozen. My desk is not a mess--it does not have random piles of crap on it, just cute stuff like my whale bank and my Schrute Farms stress beet and my Hello Kitty and Ariel PEZ dispensers.

    My dad is filthy. His desk is covered in crumpled bits of paper and random pieces of what I hope used to be food. I'm not sure if he has a single pen in or on his desk, and he probably doesn't either.

    My father-in-law has a lot of stacks of paper on his desk. But they are stacks. He has a lot of pens, but they're in a holder. His desk is covered, and none of it's cute, but it's at least arranged.

    And we all know that the way a person keeps their desk reflects how they are all the rest of the time. So how are you? Are you a minimalist, into cute stuff, a complete slob, or surrounded by organized messes?

    I am an organized mess.

    My roommate is a bit of a slob though. I'm about to clean, in fact, while she's gone.

    I'm a semi-organized mess and a bit of a packrat. I know where everything is and will, eventually, find it when I need it. The problem is that it is usually under a pile of stuff that I don't need or want.

    I'm messy, but not dirty. I just have a lot of stuff. Lots of paperwork, lots of ribbons and tape, pushpins, recipe cards, magazines, clothes, etc. I honestly don't mind messiness. Dishes sitting in the sink does kinda gross me out though. But that's more dirtiness than messiness.

    I kept the whole house super duper clean and spotless for a week and earned a kitchen aid mixer as a reward. Guess who's going to be making cookies this week... THIS girl!

    Kind of like Bunny in this regard. It's usually a mix of inertia and I-might-want-or-need-it-someday that leads me to keep stuff I probably could throw away and never miss. But there is at least usually some sense of order to it, even if it's not always neat. And I'm not dirty. Gross things are gross.

    I'm very, very clean. Gets in the way of my hoarding stuff though. I don't like to throw anything away. But I'm organized with it though.

    My desk is messy, and a bit dirty. It isn't smelly though, I never leave stuff that's gonna start smelling.

    I'm super neat for about a week and a half and then something explodes and my desk is covered in books, papers, post-its, receipts and on top of it all, my jellyfish paperweight.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    My room is a mess because people keep giving me I don't have room for but I can't throw out. I need to empty my room and redesign it so it works. But that's effort and I'm lazy.

    Usually I'm fairly neat and organised. Atm it's a bomb site.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I'm organized, but none of it's a mess. I have quite a few things on my desk, but it's all placed neatly.

    I'm told I'm messy.

    I call it a system.

    That's called art, my friend. Something we cultured people do in our spare time.

    I think you just like to keep a pack of soda in your room at all times and you neglect to take out the empties.
