Editor's note

I’m a pretty random and disorganized person. Just look at my bedroom.

Those who know me best can attest to this, but a quick glance into my humble abode will provide hard evidence. My computer desk is littered with books and papers. My chair has more contact with my clothes than my butt. My shelves still hold photos and drawings that I keep forgetting to hang up. My room got so messy a few years back that my friends coined it “the abyss.”

This isn’t something I’m particularly proud of, but it’s the truth, and I’m not ashamed. I clean my room from time to time, but I really just don’t like the color of my carpet.

Clean freaks, slobs, and everyone in between, be sure to read Joe’s story to find out what your room says about you.

Oh yeah, and Happy Valentine’s Day.
