December 17, 2005 (idea)

After our most beloved and highly respected little leader threw down the gauntlet and challenged all of us to reveal what we see as the meaning of life, Everything2 and the universe in general, I sat back and enjoyed the endless stream of noders quoting their favourite 'deep' nodes and quietly thought: what a bunch of self-congratulatory bollocks. Man, we're all very deep and thoughtful eggheads in our self designed little corner of the internet, the so called 'writers cooperative'.

Until today, when I saw Iwhosawtheface's refreshingly unearnest declaration of love to e2's lighter side. This gave me enough impetus now to enter myself into this dreary exercise, so here we go:

Writeups I adore:

• lovejoyman's January 22, 2004 daylog. There is poetry in matrimony, you know?
• Buffcorephil's Raising chickens. If my s.o. wouldn't have thrown in her veto, there'd be fresh eggs every day.
• moJoe's I will REMOVE the fucking toilet seat if you don't shut up because it made me laugh out loud and sign up to e2 (and because it's true).
• Demeter's TheBooBooKitty confesses: my life as a teenage whore named Susan. An all time classic.
• Dannye's nodes about his German girlfriend and his subsequent trip to Germany, but they seem to be lost in the nodegel.

Things I'm pleased with? Well, there is my highly entertaining series of humanopathogenic worms writeups, and of course the ever so controversial Vomiting Sheep, Piercing is a waste of time and resources and the all time favourite, The Bi-annual Wales-New Zealand Sheep Shagging Competition.

If I encounter new noders and feel in a benign mood, I point them to

• Paraclete to show them how to write a properly researched factual writeup,
• Lovejoyman to make a point about the proper use of day-logs,
• etouffee to show them that poetry on e2 doesn't have to be teenage drivel and
• Sneff for everything else.

Thank you for your time.

Now go back and continue writing about your feelings on that day you lost your Gameboy.
