And so, I rested. Um... there's not much more to it, really.

*looks for something to pad out daily post*

This is post 296! This means I'll need to come up with things for post 300, which will be Very Soon. See what posting at least once a day* does to me?

*Yes, yes, except the one day where I didn't post, but it's still at least once a day on average so ha!**
**Hey, look! A footnote.***
***And another footnote.****
****I accept this is silly, so I put the question to you: Do I footnote excessively?*****
*****I ask because Another LJer's footnoting has been described as impersonating me.******
******This, too, makes me ask: Do I footnote more than other people on your flists?*******
*******If yes, is this a bad thing?********
********And would it be easier to just use numbers instead?

Being the massive Good Omens fan I am, I am exceptionally appreciative of footnotes.

Of course people impersonate you. You don't want to know how many polls I've seen lately with completely arbitrary "TICKYBOX!" questions.

People impersonate you because you rock.

You're the only footnoter on my flist.

If you have more than 2-3 footnotes, numbers are definately better.
Even then, I'm surprised you haven't used † and ‡, among others.

† and ‡ make people expect more unique symbols for footnotes... though permutations could be fun, with things like footnote **†*‡†* being proof I've gone too far.

Far far too far indeed.

...Hold on. YOU started 'Tickybox!'? My ENTIRE FLIST does that! Even the ones that don't read your LJ! o.O

As for footnotes, I love 'em, but numbers win too.

I'm sure that other people used the word 'tickybox' before me.

*does research*

[livejournal.com profile] tickybox is older than my journal, so... um... no. Not my fault.
