Al di là del “mettere in ordine”! (domani traduco anche questo)
2 November 2009
My mind probably will never fully understand the meaning of the word”storage”, especially if “storage” implies you put things away with order… in any language you say it, I think that I’m probably unable to understand what “order” can be, for more than 2 seconds 
It is a GREAT and BIG problem for my studies, especially now that I’m studying physics. Physics is something that requires a certain level of mental order… well, actually most of the best physicists are REALLY crazy, but it’s another kind of craziness. 
I spent most of my life in my room. A little room in a little apartment placed in a building of a little city. Ok, I guess at this point I can be asked “Are you a smurf”?. Who knows?! 
I live in “small” places and in a situation of “little chances”, but I do dream big and love photography… then, for my 21st bday I asked my parents an iMac 24”.
Their reaction: “Gee! 2,000 euros of computer?! Are you crazy? Can’t you get the 20” one?”
At the end “I won”. I mean. I got the 24” iMac, my parents paid the whole thing, but for the following 12 months I had to give back the 90% that wasn’t included in the 21st birthday present. Isn’t it lovely?
At this point, people with clean minds could wonder: “Which is the relation between my messy mind, my room and my 21st birthday “present”? ”
SPACE and DISORDER!
The coming of the new computer made me to do a little revolution in my “computer station”, that is actually on “wheels” as moths of the thing in my room…
[For those who are computers geeks: "Do you recall the game named Sokoban?" That's how thing are "placed" in my room 
]
Consequence of the new computer: something had to move away, therefore, for almost 18 months 1/4 of my table has been “occupied” by those obejects that “moved away” when the new computer came. They were like clandestine on it. My mother complained a little and I answered back: “When I can I’ll put “the alien” away and clandestine stuff will move to its place”. The moment came 18 months late… C’mon, it isn’t such a big period of time if you consider that in the meanwhile I studied, failed or half-failed a lot of tests and got depressed 
Here is “The alien”:
who “kindly” opened its mouth when I wanted to download pictures…
He left the room. My room.
After at least 6 or 7 years it has been in it…My first pc is leaving forever. Sniff! The pc that I used when photography passion started hitting me very hardly, the same PC that allowed me to “meet” that men who become a really good friend, the PC that… was just my first “all mine” PC.
It’s leaving a part of my history… I took away from it the 2 HD and put them on my table in the hope to buy (someday) 2 little “proper boxes” to make them become external HD. While saving the HD I thought: “It’s like preserving a working brain of a dear person…” moved away from this thought a second after I started it
The “The Alien’s place” before it left:
As you can see beside “the alien” there were, beside a lot of mess, a lot of dictionaries and grammars and English language related stuff. I could write 2 other posts about those books, but I’ve wrote already too much today.
Now the place looks this way:
Once again physics (and it’s only a little part of my books and copybooks!) occupied most of my life spaces with less funny and colorful things… it’s fine… It’s what I decide for my life 3 years ago:”studying physics”. Probably an huge mistake but I’ve to deal with it, I like it or not
More powerful passions didn’t totally move away. On the “upper” level there are still 2 dictionaries, a grammar, the external HD (at the moment just one because the other one is in the “electronic stuff sickbay”=”boyfriend house”) and other photography related things and a few of “old” CD-ROMS.
This is just a spot of the revolution, tomorrow I’ve to keep on changing thing in my whole room. I’m extremely tired, but it’s worth. Changes can be good too.
