Cleaning Spree

My four newest areas of cleanliness.

I get the oddest spurts of organizing energy. These (usually) late-night, I'm-procrastinating-something-I-need-to-actually-do-or-maybe-I'm-just-bored, spurts have previously led me to completely organizing every piece of financial paperwork into color-coded, divided, multi-binder wonders, a freakishly organized under-counter area in my bathroom, a cleaning cart, seriously well-organized art supplies, and a CD/DVD/Back-up disc system that would knock your socks off.

I feel great after spending hours organizing and/or re-organizing areas, it gives me a sense of accomplishment. But I can't just turn the motivation to do so on or off at will. I wish I could. That would be nice. Maybe I can hone this one day and use it at will. But for now, I will probably continue to stay up late when I shouldn't and organize things that won't matter that much in the long run, while, of course, not doing things I should.

I blame Nietzsche, as I do often (his name is hard to spell and people rarely contradict you when you quote him). He gives us the perfect excuse to be a contradiction in everything and bathes in the love of it.

"You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star." -Nietzsche

So for now, my brain (and room) will remain chaotic... except in the four small corners the chaos within me decided needed to be cleaned.
