"How I pretend to be organized"

"My personal life, however, could use a little order. I have come to accept that although all the books, clothes, posters, and accumulated cruft in the bedroom could be better organized in the limited space available now, but it would be silly to spend the time and money necessary to fit all that stuff in a room that's too small to reasonably hold it all, only to rearrange everything again in two and a half months when we'll have enough room for everything. While that mess bugs me occasionally, the real issue is that I forget things constantly. Every time I go into a bookstore or Amoeba or Target or even the grocery store, I completely forget why I'm there. Every single trip, it seems, ends with me forgetting lettuce for the tacos, dish soap, or the new Kelly Clarkson CD."
