I'm clicking post and I'm... still alive.

Observations:

1. It's been a while since I've posted.
2. Actually, quite a while.
3. I seem to have this kind of super!hiatus every year.

Preliminary findings:

1. I should post something.
2. Also, I should keep posting things.

Options for posting:

1. Post a recap of everything that's happened since last I posted.
• Pros:
  
• There's a recap of everything that's happened.
• I feel like I've posted something.
• It may lead to further posting.
• Cons:
  
• I've forgotten lots of stuff that's happened.
• It's long and tiresome to read.
• Plus, a little more dull than I might otherwise like.
2. Post some kind of frothy rant about a current issue.
• Pros:
• There's a frothy rant about some current issue.
• I feel like I've posted something.
• It may lead to further posting.
• Cons:
• Ranting as a first post back makes the subject look more important than it might otherwise be.
• It's long and tiresome to read.
• Plus, it's of limited interest to the flist in general.
3. Post a meme.
• Pros:
• Memes are sometimes fun to play with.
  
• I feel like I've posted something.
• It may lead to further posting.
• Cons:
• It's a meme.

Conclusions:

1. Not posting for some time leads to posts like this.
2. This post will likely contain a meme.

So, fair warning: ( here be meme )

And there we go, a post. Maybe later there'll be a post on swearing prime ministers, or on the Catholic annexation of Sydney, but for now I'm just going to click the magical post button.
