I thrive in clutter, if you ever saw my desk, as opposed to Paul's, you'd probably faint. He is a neat person. I am not. I am, however, capable of cleaning up and throwing things away, unlike my mother's entire side of the family. Dad is a thrower-away-of-stuff, and the only reason my parents' house was never full-to-the-brim with clutter, like this house was when we bought it.
