Close; I'm 16.
Yes, my bedroom ALWAYS stays in that condition. I'm naturally a "neat-freak" and can't stand clutter or unorganization. Friends have commented on how their room doesn't compare to mine. Organization was my only option if my room was going to look good; since my house was built in '67, the rooms were made to sleep in, not live in, unfortunately, so it gave me very little space to work with. I do have two closets that handle much of my stuff, and I keep a Eureka 630D, a Hoover Junior, and a Metro Vac-Ette in there as well. I vacuum twice a week or sometimes more, and Windex/Pledge the furniture/TV twice a month. I'm glad I put the Zenith in because I needed something with a bigger screen; before, all I had room for was a 9" TV/VCR combination on an IKEA A/V cart shared with the minisystem that was very impractical. Taking the cart out freed up a lot of space next to my desk. The GE clock radio matches my room perfectly with the blue display; replaced a crappy Timex "round" clock radio with a red display, stiff buttons, an ineffective alarm, and poor, tinny sound that I absolutely HATED. All I need to update now is the desk chair, TV chair, and lamp: after that my room is finished until I head off to college.
It didn't always have that color scheme; my room received a makeover last year. Before, it was a funky light blue & white, with furniture we bought when I was 10. The carpet is a "room-sized rug", a specially measured and cut piece of carpeting that can be bought at any carpet store for around $250. I needed some kind of cover, as my desk chair started making a "halo" on the Wilsonart laminate, but didn't want to do berber like the back room because the flooring was in otherwise good shape. It also eliminated the need for a plastic "chair mat". Here's the last picture before the renovation in June 2003, right when I started vacuuming all of the junk off the floor (no, I don't have the Air-Way; gave it to the thrift store). The photos do the room justice; it was really MUCH worse! Comparing the pictures I took yesterday to this makes it seem like a big improvement!
Will post more pictures of the desk, nightstand, etc. later on.

. Also am a Sims Junkie when it comes to the PC, and another favourite of mine being RollerCoaster Tycoon (Jason, do you play this by any chance? :-D).
. Although it's not too bad - my sisters bedroom has about 2ft of crap piled on the floor, and the door can only just open so that she can squeeze through. I tell you, if, god forbid, there's ever a fire in our house, her bedroom would be up in a puff! Anyway I've attached a pic of my bedroom - your bedroom really puts me to shame Austin, I feel guilty now :-(.
I am a huge fan of Human League (and Joanne Catherall in particular, my favourite Leaguer) and Ultravox, both definately my favourite 80's bands.
