"If you hear the telltale sounds of a helicopter, step away from a blaze in the fireplace. The copter might send a downdraft into the chimney and shower sparks all over your sleek coif."

gotta love that girl....
To those who do chooseth to participate, know there is safe haven here. Just do not, however, become an emotional drain, and suck the life out of the group or do any really weird stalking kind of thingeths, because then i might have to call upon mine uncle guido, and his cohort, "jimmy da thumbs". (dont ask).
Let it also be known to all, that there just might be opportunities for thou to expandeth thy horizons and have chance encounters with the unusual and interesting, as long as everyone's immunizations are up to date. Naturally, politeness and general good manners should always prevail, except, of course, when they shouldn't....
In closing, proper grammar and punctuation, should always be attempted even for the weak and feeble minded, except of course, when thou does not feel like it. Naturally, special dispensation and forgiveness for the glaring lack of capitalizations and contractions must be granted by you - to me - for the most part, because well, oft times i am just too lazyeth to shifteth the keyeths.
ewe might be too.
come now, pull up thy own seating arrangementeth, and let the games continueth...
P.S.eth: if thou does so agreeth to this petitioneth, please place thy signature beloweth.
i bid thee thankeths.
(perhaps i should have that lispeth looked into...)
And for all of those curiously concerned, the birthing process was free of any unnatural drugs or devices, save an old computer and bowl of vanilla ice cream. (with ice cream naturally, being eternally inspiring.) no trees, or whales were ever harmed in the process.....to reiterate:
"In short, i am happy to be here.
not just here, on aol, but here.
you know...in the grand scheme of things.
I hope you are too."
Here ye! Here ye! Let it be known to all that doth verily and unwarily enter here, that on this day, the 2nd of January, anno domini y2k+4, that there doth verily continue the said journal starteth of lasteth year, and also that said journal was most graciously enriched with some minor renovations. (for those of you who hadn't noticed.)
Let it also be known to all, that this conception, which was wholly and randomly inspired, albeit though modern marketing techniques, but thankfully not physically inseminated (because well, that would be just toooo weird), by the mongul company AOL; was jointly entered into freely and (obviously free of contraceptives) with complete disregard to thought and ramifications that said journal might taketh from mine future free time and sanity, but so be it.
Furthermore, let it also be known to all, that from these curious actions, the conception between mind and mongrel, er mogul, grew rapidly and was inevitably birthed thusly in a matter of mere minutes by the good graciousness of the technology of AOL, and by me hitting a few designated keys; which sometimeth worketh, and sometimeth does not worketh. But lo, do not let those minor inconveniences stop thee from creating thy very own journal. A fervent wish by the way, of the author, Floralilia. (continueth..)
