My dear marionette, I am beginning to feel a certain problem creep up on me as you have fortold. My space for my collection is running out; looking over at it now I only have enough space for at most four normal-sized boxes left. If push comes to shove I will lay them down on top of the standing ones, but once that space runs out (or in case I want to move them for visual purposes) I need a plan. Does anyone have any ideas? I know I won't be able to afford (or have space for) a new bookshelf, and all places I could put them are filled with stuff I don't want to get rid of (most of it is important this time!). :<
Also, I keep forgetting I have a 1983 National Geographic Atlas of the World between my dresser and bookshelf. It's not all that important of a thing to relay, but I just found it odd.

when I ran out of space to put stuff, I started putting it in the bottom dresser drawer I didn't use. Now it's full of old game systems and accessories...
It's an idea at least. As for National Geographics....... give me a minute, I'll be right back...
EDIT: OK I'M BACK!!
Now for a strange story:
Warning: Spoiler!This is the shelf next to my bed:
My dad turned our attic into a bedroom for my brother and me when we were kids. It's just my room now, but that's not the point. That "shelf" is made out of a bed frame with drawers that my dad cut up and well... framed and turned into a shelf.
You cannot see it in this picture, but being an attic, the ceiling in this room is slanted all the way down to the floor. Which means in order to have a shelf this high, with space for drawers, there has to be a significant amount of empty space behind it. To be more exact, there is about 4 feet of empty space behind that shelf. So what did my dad decide to do with all that dusty, empty space?
THIS:
Warning: Spoiler!
There are three or four of these boxes filled with national geographic magazines from who knows when back there. I'm not sure why he put them back there, but they've been there ever since this was turned into a room around ten or so years ago.
So don't you talk about "odd" when it comes to National Geographic!
