There's no room for anymore baskets. ><; I already have *counts* nine boxes of stuff in my room, so adding more baskets or boxes wouldn't help any.

Fine, fine. I'll go do some laundry now. I guess once two baskets full of clothes start to overflow, it's time to wash them. XD;

Then start going through them to figure out what you do and don't need. If a lot of it is clothes that needs to be washed, then wash them, hang them up and remember to wash whenever your baskets start to overflow...not when it gets to the shape they're in right now. XD

...that might be one way to tell. XD I only wash once every two weeks or so, we have a pretty big basket for clothes in the restroom closet and we just throw everything in there and separate the stuff whenever we go do the laundry. If I kept my dirty clothes in my room...I'd probably run out of room pretty fast, there's hard;y enough room for me as it is. XD

 

[Kura]

o_o You guys... if you clean your clothes that way... does that mean you hardly ever wash your bedsheets?

o_o You know you're supposed to wash your sheets every week to every two weeks at the least?.. Otherwise you guys can get mites in your bed .__.;~ Ick~

._. My mom washes ours every two weeks.. ._. but just thinking of millions of those gross things crawling over your sheets makes me want to wash them every night ;o;~

 

[*~Ashley~*]

But if you were to clean it up properly now, and then just spend five or ten minutes each day cleaning up, you'd find it a hell of a lot easier to keep it tidy. XD "A stitch in time saves nine." Dunno if you've heard that expression before, but that's pretty much what I do.


My brothers and I were more respectful than that though, we didn't mind each other playing the consoles in our rooms. But that's probably because up until I was 14 I was sharing a bedroom with my little brother. But our living room always is, and always has been, full. My parents spend most of their time in there, my aunt and uncle are usually in there, older cousins coming to visit and my parents friends are usually in there. You rarely get to find a seat in that room.

Yes, I've heard that saying... but I have cleaned my room before, you know. But no matter how clean I get it, it's only a matter of time before I get it like this again. ><; So if I do get it cleaned up now, I doubt it'll stay clean forever. I'll try though...

You should just randomly rummage through your drawers.. and if you find something new, throw it out. That's because if you forgot about it, you wouldn't be able to use it anyways if you needed it because you wouldn't have remembered it.

Or just think of all the things you could use it for.. and if you can just say "Egh, it's not hard to just do it again" (such as worksheets or something for homework) then throw it out. Like.. I throw out all my tests and worksheets and I only need my notes. That's because the tests and worksheets are both based on the notes.. and all you'd have to do is read the notes over again to understand it.

My drawers aren't filled with junk though. O_o All the drawers in my dresser and under my bed have clothes in them. So I know exactly what's in all of them. I don't just throw random crap in there now like I used to when I was younger. <<;

And like I said to Sammi, I don't keep all my old schoolwork in my room. It's all in boxes in the attic. And I do throw away the schoolwork that's just so random that I know I won't need it ever again. I only kept the stuff that I thought would be useful or something that brought back memories or something...

If I kept my dirty clothes in my room...I'd probably run out of room pretty fast, there's hard;y enough room for me as it is. XD

No, the boxes are just full of random things I can't bear to throw away. I'm going to store the boxes in my closet though, so they won't be on the floor anymore. They took up way too much room on my floor. ><;

I usually do my laundry every other weekend as well... my problem is that once I wash the clothes, I never get around to actually putting them away. Most of the clothes on my floor were just washed. ><;;

._. Well do you wear all those clothes? That's a lot of clothes if everything's so filled up~
>> I don't even have that many clothes and my dad OWNS a clothing store o_o;~
But yeah.. do you wear all of those clothes? ._. You could always give some to Goodwill if you don't wear it anymore~

._. Orr.. what about storage boxes that you can slide under your bed? o.o?

Yeah, actually I do wear everything I have in my room. The stuff that I no longer want or use my mom puts away to save it for my sister later on. And then what she doesn't want, we give away or donate it.

And the storage boxes under the bed idea doesn't work in my room. My bed has drawers underneath it, so there isn't any place to put boxes...

Why not rent out one of those really big storage garages? Those are usually a good place for things you don't want to get rid of. I would put my stuff in the closet if it was even big enough to hold any of it. Our closet isn't that small, but it's so narrow that it's hard to just get yourself in there. I can't imagine what it would be like getting in all the other boxes and stuff, not that more than a few would fit anyway.

Yeah, I suck at putting away my clothes as well. XD My mom usually does that for me, otherwise it's just going to end up laying on the couch or one of the random chairs in the room. I hate having to go through every piece of clothing and get the hangers in it. I'll hang it up sometimes, but that's really about it. I'm so going to be screwed whenever I end up living on my own. XD

I feel a little bad now, it kinda looks like we're picking on you for being messy. XD

She did say that she doesn't like getting rid of things though, it's not like she's just being lazy about it, she just doesn't want to get rid of her stuff.


Has anyone seen either Alpha Dog or The Pursuit of Happyness? I'm gonna watch Alpha Dog either tonight or tomorrow and I'm thinking about watching Pursuit of Happyness at the weekend. It doesn't sound like it'd be my type of movie, but Will Smith is my favourite actor so I'm willing to give it a shot.

I've seen Pursuit and I'm trying to find somewhere to download Alpha Dog. I was going to download Pursuit, but I ended up watching it at the theater, which I'm glad I did. The movie is beyond awesome, especially that it's a true story. It's one of the few movies that I've seen more than once at the theaters and that actually makes me feel good. It's a really good direction for Will Smith, just proving that he really can work in all fields.

Alpha Dog I mainly wanna see because it's a true story and everything. It was all over the news here when it happened, I don't remember much about it but I remember that people would not shut up about it. Reading up on it was pretty cool, even if it did kind of ruin the ending, but almost everyone that saw it must have known how it was going to end and it ended up number one this week.

XD

Because I have very little money? XD I don't have that much stuff to store away anyway. Whatever doesn't fit in my closet, I'll just put it on the back porch. That's where we put all the crap that we haven't touched in years... XD;

Good, so I'm not the only one. XD Washing my clothes isn't a big deal at all. It's putting them away after washing them that I get too lazy to do. My mom can't put away my clothes because no one except me is even willing to step foot in my room. I'm really going to try to put everything away this time though... and keep it that way.

Heh, don't feel bad. It's not like I'm not used to it or anything. And besides, if I didn't want people to see my room or talk about it, I wouldn't have put that picture up on my LJ in the first place. XD;

Nope, haven't seen either. I haven't been to the movies in months. $10 a ticket is just way too much for a movie ticket, in my opinion. ><;

Bug your parents for money? You're a hard working student, that type of stuff should make them feel guilty or something. XD It kind of sounds like your entire family needs to start cleaning up around the house a little. It's bad enough when it's just one person, but a family must be ungodly to deal with cleaning up. XD

Well, since people come and go as they please in my room, she just puts it up whenever the clothes are done washing. Which, I guess is another reason why I shouldn't be complaining that they're in here so much, I'd have to do all of that if not for them. XD Last time I put my clothes up was months ago though. Same, it would be nice to finally have a clean room and be able to keep it that way. Originally when I got this room and it got a little dirty, I kept saying "I'll clean it up later" and months later, I was still saying that...needless to say, it's not the cleanest place in the room. XD

Will Smith is an awesome actor though, and a great celebrity. He's a true role model and seems like genuinely nice and funny guy. And I've loved everything he's done, bar Wild Wild West, since he was in the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

It must be good if it's something you actually paid to see. Twice.

I'd never heard the story until you told me about it the other day, but the trailer for it looked pretty awesome. And it didn't really take long to download so it seemed like a no brainer for me.

Heh, don't feel bad. It's not like I'm not used to it or anything. And besides, if I didn't want people to see my room or talk about it, I wouldn't have put that picture up on my LJ in the first place. XD;

Yeah, but I'm sure you didn't want people constantly telling you that you're a lazy slob or something. Though, that was the those guys than me. XD I pointed something out and left it at that. XD

I can't afford the movie prices either. Torrents are awesome though. XD

Yeah, it's really rare to find someone who can come from so little and end up like him with major success in all three of the major media fields. The only movies of his I haven't liked were Independence Day and Wild Wild West, everything else, from Fresh Prince to Pursuit, I've loved. He's really one of the best actors out there right now - and he's not a Scientologist, which is weird for someone so big in Hollywood since all the big stars of recent seem to be part of that "religion".

I'd never heard the story until you told me about it the other day, but the trailer for it looked pretty awesome. And it didn't really take long to download so it seemed like a no brainer for me.

Where did you get it from? I've still got a mess load of other stuff I need to watch first so I can clear up space, once I do that, then I'll download the movie. If that takes too long, I might just go see it. I don't feel like going another year without seeing a movie at a theater.

I can't afford the movie prices either. Torrents are awesome though. XD

Not many people can anymore, it's crazy that they've nearly tripled in price since I was six years old or so. I don't even wanna think of what they'll be like in another ten years. Torrents are awesome though, I wouldn't be able to see any of the kick ass Japanese stuff I watch if not for them.

Bugging my parents for money doesn't work because they're the ones paying for my schooling. And besides, they'd just turn it around on me and tell me that I have a job, so I should be able to pay for things on my own. <<;

Don't get me wrong though, my entire family isn't made up of slobs or anything. o.o; My dad's a packrat too, but he keeps his things neat. My mom and grandmother like things neat too. It's just my sister and me that are the problems. The only rooms in the house that are messy are our bedrooms, the living room is a little messy, and the back porch. Everything else is neat.

Yeah, but I'm sure you didn't want people constantly telling you that you're a lazy slob or something. Though, that was the those guys than me. XD I pointed something out and left it at that. XD

I honestly don't care anymore. At least it made an interesting conversation topic. XD; I know I'm a lazy slob, so I don't care if people say that to my face... it's true, afterall. XD

True, true. I just don't have time to download movies and then watch them.

Bug other family and friends? XD If it eventually gets bad enough, a storage garage would really be the best for your entire family. I know how much of a mess it can be when you have stuff everywhere thanks to pack rats. It's just not that fun to deal with only three people, I can't imagine it would be any better with a full family. XD

Liking things neat is fine and everything, but that's only worse when you're a pack rat. No matter how neat something is, once you start to run out of room to keep all that stuff, you'll notice how much better just throwing stuff away is. XD Even though I'm not the neatest person in the world, I don't really keep that many things, so it never really ends up being that big of a mess.

Yeah, he's a down to earth family man at heart, you can tell that just by reading through his interviews in magazines, newspapers etc. Also, I've seen him being interviewed on a couple of English chat shows on TV, and he's one of the few A List stars that are genuinely funny and interesting, as opposed to a lot of celebrities that come over here for interviews and give the host pre-written questions and overly rehearsed answers. He's such a naturally gifted person, and I wish he'd do more interviews over here really.

A torrent forum, it's where I get all of my movie torrents from. It's a bit of a hassle in that you have to be a registered member and you have to post to get the file password, but the torrents are always well seeded and the download speeds soar.

As long as torrents exist, I don't really care too much about the cinema. The cinema is somewhere I'd go on a date and I'd pay for it then, but otherwise I'd just download a movie and watch it on my laptop.

True, true. I just don't have time to download movies and then watch them.

I've downloaded movies in 4-5 hours before.

I don't get to see him do as many interviews anymore. I can't remember the last time that he did one, or the last time that I actually got to see one. He did a ton when he was just starting out and in the mid 90's, but it's pretty rare to see them these days. Though, when he does do them, he's always funny and he's got a really great persona. Probably one of the few movie stars that acts like an ordinary person, which is always good for the type of stuff he does.

Whenever MSN starts working again, send me the link. I'm getting really tired of having to download stuff through half dead mininova torrents. That's really the only way I can download something that size. The direct download places can't hold something that size, so I won't find them any other place.

Man, I am really hating MSN right now. It's so annoying when it gets like this.

I tried sending it nearly an hour ago, but MSN decided to be an annoying little -asterix x5- and stop sending messages..whilst still allowing people to stay signed in. Which I don't get.

I think it's an awesome forum, though I only ever use it to download films, as that seems to be its main focus, and they have pretty much every new release. And you don't have to worry about fake/corrupt files as the movies are all uploaded by the admins and the 9/10 times the picture and sound are near DVD quality. The only film I can't find on there at the moment is Pursuit of Happyness, and I'm not sure why. I'm just assuming it's because the admins haven't gotten hold of that particular film yet. But I can wait.

Yeah, I don't get it either. It should just kick us all off if it isn't going to work.

Most download forums that make you post a certain amount before you get a file are pretty safe. Kinda shows that they actually care about posts and aren't just there to screw people over with bad files. You could probably find Pursuit on one of the random torrent trackers like MyBitTorrent or Mininova.

This forum requires you to make three posts before you're able to see all of the torrent areas. I just made a welcome thread, one post, and then just made a short reply in a couple of sports threads. It was easy enough.
Then they just ask that you post in each torrent thread to say thank you, which really isn't hard, and encouraging you to seed the file for a while.

I don't like trackers though, they almost always give me slow speeds. I'd rather just wait for when it pops up and gains seeds on this forum rather than wasting time on a slow ass download.

 

[Ryoutarou]

Yeah, I just joined and it's really not that hard to get posts there. I'll probably just get the rest of the stuff tomorrow. Don't have enough space left to download anything that big right now anyway. I've got like 8 gigs of anime and other Japanese stuff I need to get through. I really wanna try to find a torrent of other episodes of that "Run for the money" show all of us were watching the other day. Or some other long Japanese game show we can have to sync up with for two hours.
