A Blast from the Past

This picture cracks me up for so many reasons.

First, and the most obvious, look at how incredibly messy my room was! I cannot believe my mother let me keep it like that. Also, why oh why are there so many dead flowers all over my room? And is that a toilet seat hanging on my wall? On the bookcase I spy a roll a toiler paper, which if I recall correctly was left on my porch by my friend Matt and read “You have been TPd.” For less obvious things, if you look closely you will notice Mikey is not actually sitting on the chair. That is because the chair is piled high with clothes, which I used to move back and forth from my bed to my desk depending on whether I was studying or sleeping (I couldn’t put them on the floor because bugs might crawl in).  And this picture doesn’t even show the other side of my room, where I had about 20 hats hanging on the halls, several dead roses hanging from the ceiling I’m sure, and of course, the disco ball with the tied-dyed monkey hanging from it hanging from the ceiling. My mother sure does have a heart of gold. 🙂
