One of the reasons I don't like tidying up: you have to solve intellectual conundrums like where a sensible place to store face paint might be. Time to have a cup of tea I think.

see, i don't have to worry about where i might store face paint, but it's a good enough reason for me to decide i'll put off cleaning up my living area for one more day

[samanthas]

That's why I'm still drinking the cup of tea and the facepaint is still in the middle of the living room table...
; )

[lefthand_path]

well, i hope that it's a sizable mug o' tea. i decided to read instead. does the mind good, reading. yeah, that's the story and i'm sticking to it

[fetishman]

so very yes. my storage categories live outside of language because i've regularly found that putting a name to a box/area immediately alters it's original intent and messes with the tidying(i.e. hip flask - in kitchen or with pocket watches? and then what do you call the box that contains those two?)

[samanthas]

You wil be another person, then, who opens long-negleched boxes, draws and cupboards to find odd objects like bubble machines and mobiles made of wire butterflies you had forgotten you owned?

[nalsa]

Oh, god. I've just remembered a long-forgotten piece of glass/LED project gubbins that is behind the colander underneath the kitchen worktop.

Um, yes, I'm one of those people.

[fetishman]

always. although more often than not these days it's pieces of scrap paper i had ideas on and then filed with a lot of other scraps of paper.

the advantage of all this is i no longer have the standard cartoonists' fear that i'll run out of ideas - i have more than enough on a daily basis and even if i had four arms they still wouldn't all get done.

But surely it goes in the dressing up box? H was disappointed to discover it contained that kind of dressing up not wendyhouse kind of dressing up. But then I'm the person who thinks the kitchen cutlery draw is the right place for this years garden seeds too...

[samanthas]

See, I was thinking facepaint should be with makeup, Naziya suggested with art stuff... I don't think I have a dressing up box, though I do have a shelf where all the hats live, a box of dance stuff etc. Perhaps a dressing up box should be started, it would give me somewhere to put the grass skirt and fake ears...

I tidy up after myself all the time and don't let the Towers become a tip- as there's only me here (aside from the ghost) theres no-one thats goign to clear up after me apart from myself. So if I keep the place tidy, then I don't have the hassle of tidying up.

If that makes sense?

[samanthas]

That makes perfect sense. I can handle things like socks and plates, it's the more odd objects that seem to give me trouble. The question 'where I should sensibly store facepaint' taxes me, because the first thing my brain tells me it 'it's not sensible to own facepaint at age 28'...

[big_daz]

Hmm.. I did wonder why you had facepaint in the house, but was too polite to ask. It does indeed seem an odd thing for a 28 year old to have in the house.

Having said that, this 39 year old has some VERY odd things in his house..

[samanthas]

I may have been to a Zombie themed subculture. And it would be wasteful to throw the rest of the facepaint away, you see...

I'm intreagued - tell me something odd you have in your house. Apart from the ghost, obviously

[lucian_albrecht]

See, wee store our facepaint in the LARP cupboard. Obvious, really. ;)

[rosie_t_riveter]

Nick_Stewart would throw it away. Along with those pesky folding cups.

[samanthas]

Would I be doing something dangerous if I asked you about the folding cups?

[rosie_t_riveter]

Not dangerous as such, although I reccommend that you do it when Nick is around so you can hear his protestations of innocence. Don't listen to him, they're all lies.
