Into the abyss...

Today I was given a task. Actually, it was more than a task, it was QUEST. It was a quest so daring, so perilous, and so downright impossible that only the bravest (or stupidest) dare attempt it. It was a quest so petrifying, that the mere thought of it made me shiver in fright.

The quest? To help tidy my girlfriend's bedroom.

Scoff if you will, but I'd just LOVE to see you give it a try! For you see, what Sophie calls a bedroom, others would call an impassible pit of death. Not an INCH of floor is visible over all the books, scraps of paper, huge pieces of artwork, photographs, mangas (and a variety of other Japanese stuff.), soft toys, work folders, homemade picture frames, boxes boxes and BOXES of random trinkets, and the list goes on and on.

Have you lost something recently? Anything at all? Chances are, you'll find it there. Wilderness explorers searching for cities of lost gold? Already found them. Physicists looking for the ever elusive graviton? It's bound to be here somewhere.

But anyway, yesterday, while tidying this room herself, Sophie came across something she had been looking for for quite a while.

She calls it her "Book of everything". And it contains, well, pretty much everything. From photos and pictures to quotes and anecdotes, Sophie puts in whatever she finds interesting, and Sophie finds a LOT of things interesting! Basically, within the multitude of craziness and awesomeness that is her bedroom, there is another multitude of craziness and awesomeness that is this book, and believe me, it is quite awesome. Barely a single person she's met doesn't have a picture or quote pasted in somewhere, forever immortalised. Don't worry, it's not as creepy as it sounds. She only writes nice stuff.

But the more I think about this "book of everything" idea, the more brilliant it sounds. I need to do something like that, compile things that mean stuff to me. Maybe just random clippings from newspapers I find interesting, or funny things people have said. It's a shame I'm spending most of my free tome doing this blog...

*Light bulb*

This blog is now officially my "Book of everything". Anything i find interesting will wind up here. Videos, images, quotes, you name it. It's a big job, but I'll give it a shot.

Call me crazy, but this just might work.
