Books Everywhere

You know how in shows and stuff when they show a kid stuffing everything in their closet when they're told to clean their room?  I can completely relate to that.  It's not really that I stuff everything in there when told to clean my room, it's just that I tend to throw things in there without thinking about it.

My room isn't the cleanest place.  My desk, dresser, and night stand are all stack with things (mostly books), and there's not really any clear space on them.  I also have books, board games, and varous other things on my floor.  My floor isn't completely covered.  There's still plenty of room to walk and all of the stuff is pushed up against a wall, in a corner, etc.  The problem is my lack of book shelves.  I have no where to put my books, so they end up everywhere.  My mom always tells me to move them, but there's no place for them to go.

She used to tell me to put them in my closet, since I have shelves in there, but that doesn't really work anymore.  All the shelves in my closet are full (not just with books, other things too), and I can't really step into it because of boxes on the floor.  My mom gets aggravated, but I don't know what else she expects me to do.  There's no room for all of my books.  I can't bear to get rid of any of them, since I often re-read almost all of them.

When I get a house years from now, I need a library.  That would be my dream come true.  That is the one thing I want most in any house I own in the future.  I've seen pictures of houses with shelves everywhere.  I need one of those houses.  That would make me so happy.  It would be like living in a library.  (Not that I ever expect to buy enough books to feel a whole house of shelves.  It's just fun to dream about that.)

Old Stuffed Animals

Usually days I don't have school seem to drag on forever, but today actually went by very quickly.  I feel like I didn't get a chance to do anything today.

My sister has been cleaning her room all day.  The two of us used to share that room, and because of that, tons of our old stuffed animals are stuffed in one of her closets.  She got all of those bags down, and we went through some of them.  I hadn't seen those stuffed animals in years!  Most of them were hers as some of my old ones were moved into boxes into my room when we got out own rooms.  Still, some of my old stuffed animals were in there with hers, and I ended up taking a few.  They're now sitting in my room for absolutely no reason.  Most of them are dirty, musty smelling, and squished looking, but I haven't seen these in years!  I'll probably stuff them in my closet after a few days and forget about them, but it's still weird to see them after so long.

That's just about the only note-worthy thing today.  Other than that I've done nothing but read (not as much as I would like) and do various things on the Internet.  Now I'm off to do a bit of homework (Yep.  I'm studying during Thanksgiving break.) and then finish a college application.

I think I'm helping  fix Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow since my mom will be at work.  We'll see how that actually works out, since it requires waking up early and getting my sister and me to cooperate.  I'm excited for the Macy's parade and the dressing!  (My family seriously has the best dressing recipe ever.  That's the best thing about this time of year.  It's the only thing that tastes good as leftovers.)
