Vortex, it sounds like a good formal description of who we are. But "politics" shouldn't be the first items listed. Of the 4 things you mentioned, "politics" is probably the least important to the board. We have a number of threads specifically devoted to various aspects of popular culture, additional threads devoted specifically to writing and literature, but none specifically for politics.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

oh, i thought we did. My bad.
eta: and I realize that the description is rather formal. But, when you're trying to do business, you get a better response if you sound business-like.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Definitely not knocking you, Vortex! You did good.
I also agree that I don't really think of politics as a major topic of discussion, certainly not one to be listed first in a list.

What is even happening?
Vortex, it's excellent Boston-ese.

The status is NOT quo.
Vortex is so sexy with her mad lawyer skillz.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
So - next weekend, Saturday, dinner? We have Helmand's on the table, but I will also humbly suggest my boyfriend's new place. Which doesn't yet have a name, but it's where La Felce used to be on Stockton & Union, and it's Northern Italian food served "tapas-style". It's good (but it doesn't have the yummy pumpkin dish).
Also, we could try for an earlier dinner at 6ish or so, if that makes it easier for people....

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I thought it was going to be called "Blank Sign"?

Also, Vortex does indeed have the mad lawyer skillz. I want her to write all of my letters from now on.

They may as well go with that. I roll my eyes at all of them (while drinking for free, of course).
