…on my orderly side because I am constantly straightening it.         My room, like my shadow following me on a sunny day, reflects my personal interests and talents and really is a part of me. This is reflected in many ways, from the way I organize my furniture to the places I put my clothes. Even if I'm not acting out a childish daydream I still enjoy changing my surroundings to fit this daydream called life.
