Three years for me today. It's rather nice... it also makes one think, "How long will this site go on, and how long will I be here? I long while I hope.
Today also marks one month from surgery on my leg which will have me laid up for a while, so I'll definitely be here more often and expecting great posts from you all to keep me from going out of my mind!

I wish myself a very happy deathday today - one whole year. (Not much compared to some others, but a matter of pride for me nonetheless. )

And now, for those of you who happen to know the song "Found a Peanut," (tune: "Clementine") I have revised the words for this special occaision.

Found a Website

Found a website,
Found a website,
Found a website last year.
Last year I found a website,
Found a website lasty year.

I was careful,
I was careful,
I was careful last year
Last year I was careful
I was careful last year.

Died anyway,
Died anyway ,
Died anyway last year.
Last year I died anyway
Died anyway last year.

Started posting,
Started posting,
Started posting last year.
Last year I started posting
Started posting last year.

Got addicted,
Got addicted,
Got addicted last year.
Last year I got addicted
Got addicted last year.

So here I am,
So here I am,
So here I am right now.
Right now I am here
Here I am right now.

Well, newcomers wouldn't be having deathdays.

*checks own join date* Come to think of it, I guess I won't be having one anytime soon either...

What I want to know if I can contra off my time dead against my actual age and therefore never actually get any older? It would mean I could stop drinking the blood of young men, get that portrait out of the attic and spend less on the expensive unguents.....
