crash.

i attempted to clean my room today. believe it or not - my floor, bed, and chair were covered in clothes. it's unfortunate that my lack of height just couldn't quite get that sweat shirt on the top shelf. i heard a creek and felt a sudden movement from the shelf in my closet. i ran into katie's room to tell her my closet was falling down [i'm not sure what she was going to do about it?] and as we both walked back into my room the whole thing came crashing down. metal pieces ripped and protruding from the wall. after the crash katie and i looked at each other and said, 'well. guess i have too much stuff.' all of that was followed by a call to our land lord who inconveniently lives in minnesota but was going to call his property manager here in cedar falls. his words to me were, 'well, start cleaning things up and i'll see how soon i can get someone there!' thanks mark.

[this is everything that WAS in my closet]

turns out that the mess i was attempting to pick up quickly became bigger. all of this was followed in part by taking the trash out and completely biting the dust and landing underneath lindsay's car. perhaps i shouldn't attempt anything else today!
i was also wanting to accomplish a lot of homework this afternoon. lofty plans considering i've been sitting on my floor around a pile of clothes reading children's books.
maybe tomorrow.

Wow.

You have so many clothes. No wonder that thing fell. You might wanna try some heavy duty rope when you hang it back up...
