I ask because I used to be messy as hell, but over the past year I've started to get flat out angry about my room being a mess and I give it a pretty thorough cleaning/organizing once every 4-5 days. Been once a week since school started, but I try to keep up on it. Vacuuming/changing the sheets/organizing the desks, etc.
How about you?

I would love for my room area to be super clean, but me and my girlfriend are both messy, and she doesn't like to clean at all, so it's usually up to me, which is no big deal, buuuut... I'm just lazy and don't clean as often as I would like to. It's also difficult because we have a cramped room down in a basement, and I don't know, just something about it, no matter how much I clean, I feel like it's never clean. It sucks.

I've never really cared but I realize that other people do. I pay someone to clean my house every other week because I realize it's good for the lasting value of the house and yeah, having girls over.
My room is extremely well organized. I don't clean as in vacuum all that often, but I love cleaning it. It just makes everything feels way more relaxing.

I'm a pretty neat person, so if I organize my room is usually stays that way for a while. Actual cleaning, like vacuuming, dusting, changing sheets, and what have you. Once every two weeks, unless something happens wear I feel like I should do it sooner. Like if I have a girl over and we end up doing the horizontal monster mash in my bed, I would wash it the next day, etc.

I like having my room to be very clean, I almost never clean it though due to laziness.
I should look into that one day.

Yeah yeah, I'm sure you read the first sentence and stopped there, the truth is, she's a messy person, and I'm lazy, so if I don't clean, then no one does. And I'm actually an organized person, and I want things to be done my way, so even if she were to clean, it wouldn't be good enough for me. Which is why it doesn't matter. Overall the room we live in is just crappy no matter what I do, but I really need to get off my lazy ass and keep up with it. I think I'm gonna have a "super clean" some day soon, which happens once in a while, but when it does, I clean everything and make it look spotless. I love when that happens, because then I have a nice clean area, even down in this dump, for a few days.
But oh god there's just so much trash on the floor, under the couch and under the bed... ugh.

Grow some f***ing balls and tell her to pick up after herself. Have some goddamn self respect. Holy s***.

This is one thing that I use to be really bad at that would drive me absolutely INSANE now.
Back when I was with my psycho girlfriend, we'd have sex in the bed and get the sheets dirty and leave them there for a long time. Like, the sheets in her dorm room that we basically shared didn't get washed for weeks and had stains on them and oh my god
In contrast, my best friend brought his kids over and one of them is a 4-month old baby. He had the baby lying on my bed for about twenty minutes total and I had to wash the entire bed-set. Comforter and all. It's not like it was some filth ridden baby, I just had to clean everything after a strange thing was in my bed. >.<

From: Ed Bellis | #017 My room is a giant freaking mess. I have no idea how I can find anything in it.
I've had times like that and looking back I just can't even imagine it. It makes my skin crawl to think about how I let my room get back in high school.
How do you still put up with it?
-- "It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."
From: blindhobo13 | #022 I don't even know how it gets dirty! I always put **** back where I found it. It's like some little monster comes in my room and messes it up.
I'm not trying to upset you here, but it's honestly laziness. I'm guilty of this too, obviously.
That ten minutes I spent vegging out on board 8? I could've emptied the trash, taken care of the dirty plates. How about that 30 minutes I spent wasting time on Twitter? I could've moved the stuff off the shelves and dusted/wiped them down.
It takes time to be productive and clean but it's worth it.
-- "It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."
None of your rooms can possibly be as bad as one of my friends'. One time he borrowed my sweatpants and I went to his house to go pick them up and the entire floor was covered in a pile of laundry (i have no idea if it was dirty or clean) like two feet high, and then there was so much trash everywhere that it was unreal (his house is borderliner hoarder territory tbqh)

Mine is usually always clean and organized. Sometimes I'll have a piece of clothing laying around or something, but that's about it. My bed is always made(for the most part anyway), floor gets vacuumed once a week, I dust about every month. I think it's just more habit if anything from when I was a kid and my parents always made me clean...>_>

the worst part isn't being lazy
it's being consciously aware you are being lazy and then feeling bad afterwards because you were lazy
-- ~Acting on Impulse~ Black Turtle still didn't MAJORA'S MASK
I tend to keep my living place somewhat clean, but I feel weird when it's super clean. If I've just cleaned up everything in my apartment, I'll usually put some random books on the furniture and toss my laundry in a slightly disheveled pile in my bedroom just because my style of "organization" is to put stuff in places that make sense to me instinctively but follow no real pattern, so if stuff isn't a bit scattered, a room doesn't really feel like I've lived in it.

Mistake you're making - overlooking the fact that we might not want to be saved.
From: ExThaNemesis | #028 Look if I've changed, anyone can. I used to be the laziest schmuck in the world. Now I'm probably only in the 90th percentile.
And right now instead of wasting another half hour, I'm gonna make that conscious effort to tear myself away and go to bed, as I have class in 5 hours and I have maybe gotten 12 hours of sleep all weekend.

Shut the f*** up dude, you don't even know me or her or what my life is like. I straight up told you that even if she were to clean up the room, it wouldn't be good enough, because I want it done my way. If I told her to clean up, she would. Believe it or not, I'm not a pathetic little person that's only ever had one girl pay attention to me, but I also don't like to brag about my life and I don't like sharing details about it, because there's no point since no one believes that I'm actually a cool person in real life, why would they? I'm such a nerd on this board, there's no reason to suspect I'm actually telling the truth, so why bother.
Point is, regardless of what you think, my life is still probably better than yours.

I don't pick up after myself either, and I hate being a hypocrite. We don't have a trashcan down here because even if we did, because there's really no room to put one, so we have to walk all the way upstairs to dispose of trash. Which means we just leave it on the floor until we go upstairs for some reason, but even then, we often forget to grab something to throw away and it just keeps piling up. Which is why there's trash everywhere. It's really both our faults, but even if she wasn't living here, it'd still be this way.
My room used to be the messiest thing, but since I started dating my GF i clean it completely every few days and nothing is on the floor for over a day. Except under my bed, i really have to get better about that one. Also my GF cleans up after herself and I clean up after myself at her house. Because we are normal.
-- Warning_Crazy i am not black turtle as i did not win the guru
my room is horrendous. then again its probably because its supposed to be a walk in closet and i don't have enough space to fit all my clothes so there's a huge pile i can't do anything about and waaaah
no trash or anything though, that **** is vile
-- Team Cyclokle http://img.imgcake.com/RCoweenpngta.png
Yeah see I'm not trying to impress anyone in specific anymore, which had been my motivation for the cleaning I'd do once every five months when I was a teenager.
Now I've gotten to where it pisses me off if stuff isn't clean.
Aforementioned best friend with the children is a slob, and he comes over and leaves s*** all over the place and it makes me want to choke him how unaware of things he is when he gets something out and just leaves it there, or throws candy wrappers on the floor.
-- "It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."
From: Ed Bellis | #041 I put up with it because I don't mind it! A clean room is fine, but I'll be the first to admit it's not a high priority for me, especially because I can mostly find things. My car is also a gigantic mess, for the record.
I keep my car pretty damn clean. There's some mess here and there, but after being driven around by my sister in her car so much when I was in high school, I swore never to treat my car the way she did hers. My god, easily the messiest, most filthy car ever. There was trash EVERYWHERE. It was difficult to sit in the passenger seat because there was so much s*** on the floor and all around that I was pretty much scrunched up against the door. And there was absolutely no room in her back seat for a human being. Ugh.
So yeah, my car is clean and it shall stay that way. My girlfriend's car is actually pretty messy too, and she has a habit of leaving trash in my car too, but I don't let that fly at least, because I don't leave trash in my car, so I don't let her either.
I've always been organized with pretty much everything that isn't my room, oddly enough.
-- ~Halo Now you learn the mistake of challenging me. http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/2734/hieis.jpg
I still lack motivation to give my room area the effort. But maybe after I super clean it again, I'll try to incorporate some new rules into our living arrangement. I doubt either of us will be able to follow the rules for long, but we'll see.
-- ~Halo You're not the brightest. http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/907/bandfinisher.jpg
You're seriously kind of grossing me out Halo >__> I don't know how people can stand living in filth. I lived with 4 room mates over this past year that never cleaned or vacuumed or put anything away. The fridge was a mess with old food. Ants everywhere. It was vile. I was the only one that ever cleaned, no matter how much I *****ed and moaned at them. It was seriously the worst, and I couldn't keep up with it all. But it really doesn't take much effort at all not live in garbage.
I also had a basement room last year that was 7'x10' and I had no problem fitting a measly little trash can in my room along with my bed, desk, dresser, mini-fridge, tv, all my clothes, all my school stuff, etc. So. Really? Really? You can't fit a little trash can in there someplace?
