a neat thanks to all



on behalf of stacie and myself i just want to thank everyone for an amazing weekend. saturday night was magical and once again reinforces our belief that we have the neatest group of friends in the galaxy. my face has not been this sore from laughing and smiling since i split queens in the d.r. we love you all very much. i have heard the murmurings and whispers about how the neatness has gone astray as of late as it has been more about creepy pictures and than literary insights into all things neat in the world and i know i have been a major contributor to this unwelcome trend. I, personally, am going to make a better effort to post entries that foster neat discussions. i also propose the following ideas to breathe some much needed fresh air into the neatness.

1. we need to figure out how to add megadeath as a contributor. she is a strong wit and would no doubt bring a comic, yet insightful voice to the neatness (plus she is unemployed so has plenty of time to contribute).

2. i think it would be neat to throw in a little creative writing from time to time. maybe some kind of neatness week of fiction. just a thought.

3. i know many of us have jobs that create little to no time to contribute meaningful posts but i think its really important to carve out a smidgen of time to get posts and comments up. I know i am lucky to be in a position where i can dedicate some time to the neatness everyday, but when only a few people are posting it feels weird and not so neat.

with all that being said. here are some great pics from saturday.

Not to toot my own HORN, but the neatness has suffered drastically since my haitus. Paul has done a wonderful job keeping this thing afloat and hope I can find the time and emotion to GBOTT. I will get there and this weekend, although grey to black, was neat. Get Megapottymouth on this joint immediately.

i think you need to invite megadoth as the keeper of the neatness.

in terms of your participation in the neatness, its time you slinged the basket off this overburdened horse.

i concur with all aforementioned sentiments...
great party, sorry to skip out without the extensive farewells, but i honestly thought i or we would make it back. nonetheless, here's my personal feeling on neatness posting: i need a schedule. i am not able to go that extra mile without the pressure of it being "my turn". i know not everyone liked the old way, but it worked for me. i scheduled my posts in my electro-planner, and served my country via neat posting as indicated by our comptroller. again this is just my feeling on the matter, food for thought. get a plate. if you're hungry, that is. and you haven't already eaten..

I too can always appreciate the power of a good list and its ability to get things done. I can feel like the requirement of the list and someone to make it can cause a sense of anxiety which I feel the neatness should help assuage not create. If we can come up with a list that can some how generate itself I'm all for it.

I like the idea of a week of creative writing.

Make the neatness as neat as our friendship.
