Day: March 29, 2006

Since last Friday my blog has reached a stage of development where according to Wikipedia you should start to notice the following changes in tone and behaviour:

Delights in wordplay

Produces elaborate sentence structures

Speech is almost entirely intelligible

Changes tone of voice and sentence structure to adapt to listener’s level of under-standing

Outgoing; friendly; overly enthusiastic at times

Moods change rapidly and unpredictably: may throw tantrum over minor frustrations; sulk over being left out

Imaginary playmates or companions are common

Boasts, exaggerates, and “bends” the truth with made-up stories or claims of boldness

Cooperates with others; participates in group activities.

Often appears selfish

Insists on trying to do things independently

Relies on verbal rather than physical aggression

Name-calling and taunting are often used

Should be an interesting year.

Once again proving that one should actually listen to the wisdom of their elders, I ignored the old adage: “if it ain’t broke..” and now my templates and archives are in an state of major chassis. Don’t worry if they look odd, it’s by design…

Update:
Hurrah! All fixed!
