It's an illness.
But a good one, and one that I share.
So are you also responsible for the little red pluses?
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
But a very foamy one, Jon...
That didn't come out quite right...

I'm just shocked that no one's yet pointed out that I used an emdash, rather than an endash.
I was just about to point that out, Jon, but I was too slow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Em dashes are the best dash there is, though.

I wrote the post saying that and then got called away. I am of the opinion as well that em dashes shouldn't have spaces around them when typsetting (I always put spaces around my dashes here though because I'm a lazy SOB who doesn't know how to make a proper em dash). I'm not gonna stare at it everyday and let it drive me mad or anything though.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Helping with the general entertaining nitpickery - maybe "Nilly, could this be mathier?" instead? Sounds more natural, you know?

I don't remember who thought up the red plus signs. I know that I figured out that the only way to line up all the text was to have invisible plus signs in front of the rest of the rows. (check it out!)
