Yes, it is crowded. Yes, the items on my desktop shift every few days. Yes, the wallpaper moves. Yes, I am insane.
No, I do not use 90% of that junk. No, I do not play StepMania. No, I do not use IMVU. No, I do not listen to that music. No, I do not care if it looks like crap.
Anyone interested in how my wallpaper works, it is at

Isn't it ironic that my desktop has an image of itself in an image of itself in an image of itself in an image of itself in an image of itself on it? It's like a mirror of a mirror...
Also, if you notice, there is an "Unused Desktop Icons" folder. Yes, that is filled with 800x as much stuff as my desktop is. I use the links on my wallpaper to access the internet (and that Google search is a custom version I made...) and My Computer to access everything else. My start menu goes down because I like it that way, but I often have folders, mIRC (with a custom color scheme, of course), and Dev-C++ open.
