We dance whenever we're able

There was a girl last night, who wanted to be a knight. She had photos of herself in armour, but seemed oddly despondent as she showed them to me. I had a sudden realisation that she hadn't felt like a knight when she was wearing the armour, but rather like a girl in a knight costume. I was about to tell her that all the best knights started off feeling that way - nobody felt like a knight until they'd been tested in the role - when my phone rang.

It was Nick (although his name on my phone was "Spider") asking me if I'd given some stuff to mutual friends to pass on to him. I blustered for a few seconds, full of excuses, and then apologised for having forgotten. He waited silently through the blustering, said "Thank you." in an obviously angry voice to my apology, and hung up with a definitive click.

And then I woke up.

If you've ever wondered what I look like when I dance

Then here's an impression, as performed in terribly amusing style.

I should just start commenting on myself.

I've noticed that people gather where the other people are.

A simple heuristic for "is something interesting" is "are other people interested in it?" - which means that if you are scrolling through your friends list, skim-reading the more interesting posts, that a post with 30 comments on it is more likely to get your attention than one sitting uncommented.

I've noticed this on occasion - a post will sit uncommented for _ages_ and then someone comments, and then someone else, and the more people comment the more likely it is to cause other people to join in. And then, of course, it falls off of people's friends pages, and the comments dry up.

I'm sure there's a paper in this somewhere.
