listening to: pda by john legend (which i am for to a certain extent!)
feeling: sardonic.

not that i need write this, but it must be said.

dear parents,

do not comment on the scattered items on my floor. do not lecture me on cleaning up my room. there's a perfectly good reason why those things are usually located in the middle of my bedroom, on the floor. it's only logical i have these items organized there, though you may not see it that way.

i'm sure you parents, being 'smarter than us', have heard of the term gravity? the force that pulls items down and towards the core of the earth? well what you have in my room is a definite case of gravity at work and you can't expect me to defy the laws of the natural world, elude the laws of physics? after all, you're always expressing your desires for me to study my sciences in further depth, and this case example allows me to grasp this process even more clearly, creating a more apprehensible manner for me to learn with.

to me, the room is clean. you can see everything! just look on the floor. welcome to my world, my organized chaos. to clean it up would be a inefficient use of kinetic energy and be a mindless dissipation of kinetic, potential and chemical energy, transforming it to useless body heat that i do not need or require and if we were to all lean over and start picking up these items, not only would i be defying the nature of gravity, but wasting energy that could be used in more useful processes. because of the body heat given off in this procedure, temperatures in my room will rise and because i like my room cold, it'd result in me turning up the coldness of my aircon, which would be unhealthy for the environment and since the rest of the teenage world will be forced to do the same thing and also share the same like for the cold, a huge rise in harmful gases and waste products from our aircon will result, all destroying the ozone layer of the world and harming the environment in many other ways. then needless to say, since we do live in this environment, we would have to bear with the negligence of humanity and die because we will not be able to survive in the destroyed environment and atmosphere. plus, if all our kinetic energy was transformed to useless body heat, we'd only be speeding up the mass change of energy located in the universe and after some lengthy process, we'd all die since we've wasted our energy, changing it to useless body heat on this so called 'cleaning', instead of more useful and important issues.

the items on my floor are a dedication to the artists of the world. it's my inspiration for my upcoming igcse art piece for the exam and if i were to 'clean' this 'mess', everything in my room would become organized (or so you say) and therefore, not out of the ordinary, and i don't know about you, but i am not inspired by the boring. do you really want me to fail my exams? i'd think not.

i'm reducing the risk of dying by not cleaning my room. if i were to place all these items in my cupboard or on the shelves, the weight would be centralized and focused on one point and pressure on that area would increase and because my room is located on the second floor, what if the weight and pressure in these areas were to become so great that my floor wouldn't be able to support it anymore and give way one day? not only would i get hurt, but this would cause economical problems for you because you'd either get sued (by me for making me clean my room and therefore, making the floor give way and resulting in me smashing my head on the kitchen floor down below or something) or have to pay for the damages done to the floor and house. by not placing these items on the shelves and creating focalization on these particular areas in the room, i reduce the risk of this happening. having these items evenly distributed all over my bedroom floor decreases the pressure and basically, in the end, saves you a lot of money and me a lot of pain.

there's many more logical explanations but i think you see my point. see? things from a teenagers view aren't so stupid after all. it's all for the best that my room remains this way and therefore, please kindly refrain from nagging the hell out of me.
