Potentially what will become the most overblogged story of the year

It just came out, but I believe that this story from the NYT will be blogged to exhaustion. Saying Yes to Mess

So, to get in on the front end of this curve here's mine.

It's all about those with messy desks, messy closets and messy book piles like on my side of the bed (about 20), that messy is a sign of a limber and creative mind and of KIND person.

I think I qualify.

The article says:

An anti-anticlutter movement is afoot, one that says yes to mess and urges you to embrace your disorder. Studies are piling up that show that messy desks are the vivid signatures of people with creative, limber minds (who reap higher salaries than those with neat “office landscapes”) and that messy closet owners are probably better parents and nicer and cooler than their tidier counterparts. It’s a movement that confirms what you have known, deep down, all along: really neat people are not avatars of the good life; they are humorless and inflexible prigs, and have way too much time on their hands.

So there. Don't you feel better?
