I've been making a mighty effort to get and keep the common room clean for Kirsteen's arrival tomorrow. Despite what some of you might be thinking, this is in fact meant to be a gesture of hospitality, not a sadistic deception. But it's definitely against my nature - while my living spaces in the last few years have been a definite improvement over my high school bedroom, I do like my things scattered about. I can't stand filth, especially in kitchen and bathroom areas, but I enjoy a healthy clutter. So I'll be glad when Kirsteen moves in - not only because I like Kirsteen, but because living in a room this clean is starting to drive me crazy.
