So am I the only one paranoid that I'm going to be posting one day and get that echoey feeling that no one knows I'm there?
I have a sneaking suspicious no demon guide will show up and give me the chance at the life I've always wanted, either.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
That post could have been a haiku Frank, if only for the
tag.
I can never remember the form. But I could do limericks:
There once was a thread named bureaublahblah
Where Buffistas hashed out their own law
The posts went to ten-
thousand and then
A new thread then opened its maw.

Frank, if you write <br> at the end of a line, it would put whatever is after it at the following line. So
blah <br>blah
is
blah
blah

What is even happening?
I can never remember the form.
It's five syllables
Then it's seven syllables
Finally five more
(Jon's Haiku is much more Haikuier than mine, though)
Also, if you want to make a fake HTML tag like t br or t weeps or what have you, there is quick edit for that. You start new line by using your "enter" or "return" key, type a lower-case t, then a space, then the text you want in the tag. Hit return again, right after that, so that your whole post doesn't doesn't end up in the tag.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Just getting in my end o' thread post. Because I can. Though I can't think of haikus. I'm not sure I even remember the syllabic form for haikus.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
My favorite haiku:
One, two, three, four, five;
one, two, three, four, five, six, sev....
Shit; that's too many!

(lexine, not a haiku, and not really the thread for it, but I wanted to let you knew I'm sending you all the ~ma in the world. Having a seriously ill parent and an ill child at the same time, is a special kind of Hell. Take care of yourself, to the extent you can.)
