Writing online

Some of you may have noticed that when I'm writing here I tend to write in short paragraphs. Two sentences at most, if I remember. Heck, if I really want people's attention then each sentence gets its own line.

It loves me!

belated cheers to despotliz for that one.

Edit: If you follow the video back to youtube then it's worth watching it dance to Zeppelin too...
