> [@TellMeI'mNotCrazy](#): > > Your picture raises so many questions, I don’t even know where to begin… Well, the main question people have asked about that picture is “what kind of wacko lens did you use?” The answer is that the photo was taken with a 35mm SLR and a normal 52mm lens, with a neat add-on attachment called a Curvatar that gives a fish-eye wide angle effect. Spiratone used to sell these thingies. If you are wondering why there is a computer in my bathroom, all I can say is that most folks like a little reading while they are on the potty, and I like to do my reading online. ---

Get ready, folks. I took two pictures, to fully capture the clutter I live in. [My desk (I took it a few feet away to get the full effect.)](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/axpauction/PICT0061.jpg) [The space right behind me as I sit at my computer (would be back and to the right, just off screen, of the previous photo.)](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/axpauction/PICT0062.jpg) I win the “complete slob” contest. Although for the record, all the dishes you see are from today’s lunch, and will be transfered to the kitchen. ---

> [@bouv](#): > > I win the “complete slob” contest. Oh, cripes. I’m glad this wasn’t posted a few years ago (and if I had been signed up then), then you would have seen a real slob. I kept the rest of the house tidy, but my room was always a disaster area. Years of being a packrat. So, you see, you’re not a slob, because I can see the floor. Hell, I can see your bed. One could not see my floor, or my bed. I had things piled up about three feet high in there. You had to walk on stuff to get to stuff. I would always know where everything was, though. To get it, I would have to carefully step on all my junk, dig a hole, and retrieve what I was looking for. It wasn’t dirty, it was just too. much. stuff. I donated most of it a couple years ago. Also, I’ve learned to throw shit out or give it away before it clutters things up. Wait, wait… here’s a picture of me in my old [room](http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/6504/18c11ft.jpg), though it’s hard to fully appreciate just how cluttered it really is. Those dresser drawers in the background were sitting up on a pretty high pile, though. I was trying to “organise” them. :smack: ---

Woohoo! My view has changed today because of some heavy rearranging. Though it still looks much the same. [Here.](http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/6123/img06315ap.jpg) There’s one of my alter egos, my EQII character, hanging out in her inn room. Those are two of my pets behind me, a cat named Schroedinger and a duck named Penelope. Behind the computer you can see my bookshelf, the television (which has Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town on it being played on a GameBoy Player… I left it off earlier to go look something up, then got distracted by the SDMB and EQII - ADD is a bitch). That is a bottle of lotion way over there on the right, however, it was used quite innocently on my husband’s dry hands. It didn’t lead to anything either, since I have the flu. 😛 Incidentally, yes, that IS a teddy bear on the bookcase getting squished by my the cobined geekiness of my husband’s and my books. If you’ll note, there’s a couple of manuals for our Sonar program, along with manuals for… hmm… let’s see: Pirates!, Dungeon Siege, oooh, _two_ Star Wars Galaxies guides, Everquest II, Guild Wars, and just behind those is two hefty D&D campaign instruction books. Dear Og. Poor bear. ---

I’m sorry, and no, nobody was handing out shots when I typed this, so I’m not sure what happened. “getting squished by the combined geekiness of my husband’s and my books.” At least I think that’s what I meant to say. I’ll take that shot, now. ---
