cleaning, cleaning, cleaning

Slowly, I am trying to get rid of all the annoying clutter and crap that makes me cringe when I see it.

First it was the assortment of no less than 10 bottles of shampoo in the shower ridge (Mom kept buying them when they were on sale), then it was the cat food area--I poured 8 open sacks of cat food into a large tub, tucked all Ki's treats in there as well, and got rid of the large box that had everything randomly tossed in it. Then I cleaned out my closet of pretty much everything so I could put my 5 CD changer boom box in there (I've always wanted my closet to play music, hehe).

Now, it was time to clean out under my bed. Before, there was barely room for a cat. Now...I think I can hide at least three bodies. I got rid of 2 wooden VHS tape holders and 1 cassette holder, three boxes of notebooks (one box had story snippets that I had written one a day for almost 3 years--those I tucked away (neatly) into a drawer by my computer), a huge stack of magazines that I was holding onto for Jeff (since he left and had already looked at them, don't need any more), a few boxes of 3x4 paper (are out of the boxes and neatly by my printer), some old crappy books, a few coin holders (yay money), a HS yearbook double (oops), a few three ring binders of newspaper clippings (one full of stuff making fun of Clinton that I did in the years before teh internets). And I think a few more random WTF things.

I vacuumed up several spiders, cobwebs, cat litter pellets, bugs, etc.

Now, all I have under there are my 5 notebooks containing my coin collections, a spindle of new DVD-Rs, 2 empty small binders that I will be using one of for NaNo, 2 photo albums and a box of lose photos, and....that is it :D

Took three hours, but makes me happy.

Next up...um...I really need to get rid of my old computer. Then I would have a nice little nook to put other stuff. Anyone have any idea how I can get rid of it? I am assuming the garbage not work. I hope it still works so I can delete a ton of crap off of it.

After that, there is a hall closet that has a few of my boxes in it that I don't want. Would love to be able to get that out of there, even though I rarely use that closet so the mess isn't OMG LOOKING AT ME EVERY DAY!!!111

Just wish I could get Mom to want to clean out some of her clutter :-/

This makes the 4th in 2 weeks.

Last night I was listening to my Zune and playing a few online games. The soundtrack to my fav musical came up (not RENT, though I adore that as well), and I started picturing Jensen as the lead. Then Jared as the other guy and OMG!

So I immediately stopped everything I was doing and looked up the soundtrack, since the musical is pretty much 98% singing. Then I started writing. 1.5 hours later I had 4 pages and I needed to go to bed because it was almost 6am.

Got 2 more pages done today.

Now the tricky thing is is that I am not making this a musical, so I need to rewrite dialogue (because who really speaks in rhymes?) and push around and about some unimportant scenes.
