What does the
area around your computer look like?The area around my computer is quite dark and dirty. . . My
computer room is literally a walk-in closet that just happened to have shelves. . . I put
my foot through the wall by mistake one day and the landlord doesn't know yet. .. .There's
a dirty white carpet piece under my feet. . .I usually have my boom box underneath my
monitor and I play the radio and CD's. . . .There is a phone right next to my keyboard
which goes to the other(non-computer) phone line. . .

The desk portion of my counter has
all my computer equipment that I use semi-frequently, a
Pokemon Burger King crown, some coupons, a grocery list, some postcards, a keychain, three
pop tabs, a glass Disney bug containing more pop tabs, and a St. Louis Cardinals lunch bag
on it. Then, to the right of the desk portion, there is the bathroom portion, which has my
sink and a lot of other stuff. To the right of the desk, there are three photos of my
friends. Two were taken in New York and one was taken in Colorado. On the wall above my
desk are a fortune from a fortune cookie, a quote I cut out of a magazine, a picture of a
woman chained to a phone, a picture of a bunny on the moon, a poem I wrote, a
glow-in-the-dark picture of Yoda that my brother pained for me, that famous photo of the
sailor kissing some woman, and the words "Even if it kills me. . ." arranged in
the shape of a smiling face.

A slight mess, if by slight you mean
"tornado-ish." It's used by three people and
is surrounded by cd's, floppies, notebooks, printouts and misc. external hardware.

My computer is on a grey and black L shaped
desk; the computer equipment is on one side and the writing desk is on the other side. My
computer is an HP Pavilion, grey, 17 inch monitor, etc. On the cpu is a red glitter
sticker for the band Bis. On top of the monitor are my computer gods: a rock from England,
2 gargoyle stamps, windup dracula and death toys, an alien from toy story, darthpeztoy and
bobafettpeztoy Next to the monitor is my scanner, and next to that is my printer (yay
laser printer!). In the corner of the desk is Tragedy Ann (a goth raggedy ann doll), a
photograph tree with tons of pictures, a quill pen set I can't use (I'm left handed), and
a box of crayons. In front of the monitor is an ashtray, my cigarettes, earrings, a
bracelet, a few discs, my computer notebook, some cds, and a barrette. On the writing side
are several pictures in frames, a candle, a nitemare b4 xmas cup with pens, and several
other odds and ends.
I'm so Victorian. I adore clutter.

It's a pig sty. I keep meaning to
clean it up, but I never have the time. It's surrounded
by receipts, pens, change, note pads, and a variety of other things. I also have Sesame
Street beanie babies that my fiancee bought for me sitting around it. I'll probably be
getting a larger desk once I move out in a couple months, because I have no room for
anything on it right now.

Very messy! I'm writing three papers at the
same time, and all my research is spread out around my room.

My computer monitor sits on top of a
bookcase which is underneath my loft. The loft was built by the person who had this room
before me and I lowered it and added supports. A black boa hangs of one of the
supports and computer boxes and a folded laundry rack hide to my right. A laundry bag of
clothes is behind the monitor in the corner. Underneath on the book shelf is the printer,
cooking supplies, my copy of Riven, a tin of cookies, comic books, and piano music.
In front is my tower, a bean bag chair and the bowl of cereal I am eating. To the left is
a desk light, tickets to my dorm's formal and a hair clip. Behind the book case is
my refridgerator, my desk with papers galore, and my leather jacket hanging off the chair.

I have a work computer as well as a home
computer and sorry to say both are surrounded by lots of stuff. At work my desk is covered
in computer parts (I'm in the process of rebuilding one working computer from 3 old ones)
and papers. At home its mostly papers and mail I don't have time to deal with.

Directly in front of me, around the
monitor, are various unpaid bills, reciepts, phone numbers, and other paper. The the left
is a shelf with pretty much the same thing on the
bottom, a couple books I'm reading in the middle, and books I haven't read on the top.To
my right are a bunch of obsolete cds that I'm probably not giong to throw away.

I don't have a Room Of My Own, but I do have
a Nook of My Own. In front of me as I type is a large bay window with a view of woodland
in the back ground and daffodils and bird feeders in the foreground. On my right is a
typing table with stationery supplies, clippings and letters to be answered. My desk is on
the left--at the moment covered with bustle clutter. Behind me is a low bookcase, doubling
as a room divider. Library books have a home on the top shelf. Two and a half shelves are
devoted to delightful science fiction and fantasy books that I want to read or reread.
Half of the bottom shelf houses cookbooks and gardening books.
Thunderstorms are approaching so the 90
pound collie/shepherd cross is hiding in the desk well, trying to be invisible. The 40
pound pit bull is having herself another lovely nap.

The
computer desks faces a window, so I can see the neighborhood. There is a lamp, pencil
holder mouse and mouse pad, phone, coffee cup and a few pages of printout on the desk. A
file cabinet with the CPU is to the left of the desk. A wall is to the right of the desk.

It
looks kind of messy, although I would call it organized chaos. I get papers, mail,
magazines, books, pictures, and kitty litter boxes near my computer.

A beat up
old chair slowly bleeding yellow stuffing onto the carpet, an ash tray, a macrame spider
hanging from the ceiling, yoda, a teletubby (La-La), several CD's, and a statue of a tree
stump with three half-formed wolves imbedded/escaping.
