girlofprey | Tidying up is hard to do

My current mood is that I have too much stuff. Especially books. I put them all down the side of the bed, to keep them out of the way, and now I just can't get down there at all. Drawing the curtains is suddenly a feat of gymnastics. I think I may need more than one new bookcase. And I don't have anywhere to put them.

Thankfully a lot of the Stuff is gone though, after a big clearout. Or at least it would be if dad wasn't applying his CAN WE SELL ANYTHING? politics. And my mother wasn't going 'oh, that's nice' to everything half-decent, and trying to keep it. I have tried explaining that I'm giving it to a Charity Shop, where it can do more good than sitting in my room taking up space. But no luck. Anyway. If they want anything, they can keep it or sell it. I choose to be free like the bird.

Went through my old CDs last night, and relived the emo. I copied anything vaguely decent/hilarious to my computer and sent them off. Tonight I found my copy of the 'Escape from Horrorland' game. Which frustratingly will install and play on Christian, but the graphics are all fucked up. Rargh. It remembered my old crush on Madison Storm, Horrorland's insane (young) genius founder with the terrible childhood. Happy days. I'm getting the usual feeling that by clearing out my stuff I'm somehow OBLITERATING MY PAST, and it will psychologically come back on me with a vengeance one day. But on the other hand, I can open my wardrobe doors now. So, having weighed it up, I'm going with the charity shops.

OH I LOVE THROWING THINGS AWAY IT IS GLORY. DUDE. And charity shops do totally count. Yes. And you should get rid of things. Because then everything is less bad. You are not obliterating your past, almost certainly not yes. It is great. Oh.

I LOVE IT ALL THE STUFF IS GONE. I can stop pretending I might use them one day. I can see the carpet. It is great. I will probably get rid of more. Necessarily, you understand. Not just out of a random twitch.

It's quite nice to relive the past when you discover it under a pile. I have a song on my computer now from years before, whose chorus is 'It's all over now/You've KIIIIIIILLED me!'. It's great. But I think I probably need less past and more present/future, now.

::dances you::

You played Escape from Horrorland? That was one of my birthday presents!

I loved that game, except for the times when I just plain got stuck. :D I loved the way I discovered new things each time I played. That, and Madison plus Dracula = Ehehe.

(Madison Storm had a cool voice, is what I remember.)

A recent birthday? Omg! I didn't think you could still get it, or make it play. Unless you meant ages ago, in which case just ::dances you for being slightly the same as me::

I got SO STUCK. For ages. I didn't know about going through the Bat Barn. So I just hung around in Werewolf Village, and then I found out from somewhere and a whole new world opened up on the other side. It was magic.

MADISON STORM WAS THE BEST THING EVER. He wore a leather trenchcoat and goggles! And wept over his rubbish childhood! And had chocolate panic attacks on screen and forgot what he was saying! Oh. I'd love to play it again. Oh, and Dracula! Who 'liked' Madison (wink, wink), yes. Was that Jimmy Smitts or Jeff Goldblum? I can't remember.

::revels in the nostalgia::

Um, it was for one of my older birthdays, but I must have been at least ten or so at the earliest beause it was up north. *grins and dances you*

I got stuck at the pumpkins, until OMG The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight! And then I got kind of stuck at the bit with the werewolf a few times, until I figured out a system. Actually, there were a few times when I had to sit there and work things out properly, because I was a bit too stokedabout getting to a new place.

It was awesome.

Madison Storm was cool. I loved the ending where he'd move in next door. Hee! And he dressed up as a horror if you got things wrong and tried to help you. You just made me slash Dracula and Madison, evil. *grin* It was Jeff Goldblum, I think, beause I saw him on IMDB one day.

I hated the Werewolf! I just ran and did my best, and only months later learned the thing with the words and directions. At which point I fumed. And won much more easily. Oh. I love it.

Did he only do that when you did things wrong? I thought he just did it randomly. I must have got things more wrong than I thought.

If I had a Madison Storm icon, my life would be complete!

Hee. I knew there had to be a way, so I sat down and worked it out... only to forget about it lots.

(The worst bit? When our sound wouldn't work. *grin*)

I only managed to encounter him when I got stuck, and looked around. *grin* So it probably was just random.

Damn, I cannot find Madison Storm pictures. Hmm.
