My Closet

I really resent the designations of "Type A" and "Type B" for people's personalities. Mostly because I do not consider myself either. Yes, I'm an organization freak. Yet, I'm a lazy organization freak. Figure that one out.

For example, for weeks I've seen my room gradually turn into a melting pot of clothes, dishes, and books. I just ignored it, relegating it to the confines of the primitive side of my mind. The gorilla side of me didn't care. Sure I tripped over shoes on the way to school in the mornings or managed to miss the bus because once again, I couldn't find my house keys or a clean pair of bottoms or... my other shoe. And I let it get this way because if it's not perfectly organized from the get go, I'm not even going to bother until I finally get that kick to want to finally become human again and live like a normal person with two pairs of shoes, a set of house keys at hand, and sheets that actually cover my mattress.

That kick was today. I went through my closet and finally threw out all those clothes that I "thought" I would wear eventually but never did. Then I did this:



From left to right: shoe rack [unpictured], salwar kameezes, dresses, slutty dresses (aka dresses destined for the discard pile), hooded outerwear, unhooded outerwear, cardigans/sweater outerwear, unbuttoned sweaters, long sleeved shirts, short sleeved shirts, short sleeved dress shirts, "sick day" outerwear, unoccupied hangers.

As I was proudly performing my organization duties, all the while imagining what a great day I was going to have tomorrow when I walk into my closet and pick out my outfit with such ease and finesse, something happened. This bastardly top came popping out of my collection, throwing my world completely off kilter.



I panicked. My heart started racing. Ok, so it is a sweater. So it should go in the sweater section, I thought at first. Then I thought some more. Wait, it is short-sleeved so it should go in the short-sleeved section... Or should I just make a new section altogether for this ONE top? But if I did that, where would THAT section go? Between the sweaters the short-sleeved shirts or between the short-sleeved shirts and the dress shirts? I went over this in my head for at least 30 minutes.

I threw it away. Evoked too much thinking and my heart couldn't take it.

Then I looked at my phone and saw that it was 8 pm on a Friday night.

Damn.

I need a boyfriend.
