35 Before 25: Clean Out My Room at My Parent's House

I wish I could say the reason I've been putting this off is because of the sentimentality of keeping my room the way it was the day I moved out six years ago. That's got nothing to do with it. It's basically become my and my mom's personal storage unit. The furniture in there is all stuff my mom doesn't want in her room anymore, but doesn't have any place to put. The closet is full of old boxes from gadgets and electronics I probably don't have anymore. It looks like a place where unwanted Fry's merchandise goes to die. My bookshelf is in sorry shape. Between the Stuff magazines I read in high school to my old British literature anthologies from college, I've got a lot of sorting to do.

This project is one of the most time-consuming, but in a way most doable. Since I've got family coming from Mexico and Oklahoma this Christmas, it would behoove me to make this one of the first ones I do so that they don't have to use their suitcases as pillows. Besides, if there's anything incriminating in there I chose to store for the last six years, I need to find it and destroy it before I run for city council in 2012.
