I'd do a thread on this, but because I'm Anybodys (from the film West Side Story, not literally) people would just ignore it.
And if e'er you should come down to the village or the town, With the cold rain for your garland, and the wind for your renown, You will stand upon the thresholds with a face of dumb desire, Nor be known by any fire. What would you see in your proud land, Petrarch, If you came back again to Italy, And in the Garden of the Medici Could listen to the nightingale or lark And dream of Laura in the fragrent dark?

I'm trying to think of my New Year's wish for The Vault of Evil. I can't say what I usually say in my day job (World peace and an end to hunger), as I have to think of something to do with the site. And I thought of an incredible occurrence, that although unlikely might just happen, because if we wish hard enough then often our wishes can come true (I've used that in my day job too). It's Jojo ticking like on one of my posts. And you never know he might tick one before Christmas (or all 1,416 or make that 1,417, that were posted in record time, but I'm not fussy, one will do), as an early present for me, how good would that be?

I liked that because of the joke, not because I want you to leave. Sorry Jojo hasn't noticed it yet....
I know. And Jojo has still not clicked like, but that's OK, because I still love you Jojo! Please do the Halloween line to the man selling tuxedos again, as that's my favourite.

Raymond von Barnaveld is playing soon in darts. Are you excited? It's his comeback. I'm not really an expert on darts, but it is oddly interesting. It's the World Championship from the Ally Pally. I'm told you have to drink a lot to be good. Raymond has divorced his wife and has a younger woman now. Maybe I can find a darts player to marry.
Are you a darts player? If so reply underneath this post with waist measurement. It's possible we could become an "item". I have an hourglass figure, and a mind filled with sand, so hurry before it all runs out!

I removed a lot of my posts from last night, as they weren't about anything to do with this site, but involved such delights as darts (but I kept one dart one, as I like the joke I made). I'm learning! I also removed my advice to girls, but kept the one where I name dropped philosophers, as it makes me seem intellectual.

I'm in bed and I've just combed my Pre-Raphaelite hair, and even though I've had a long, busy day, I can't sleep, as I've seen the pile of presents downstairs, and obviously at least half of them are mine. Also I've noticed JoJo hasn't ticked like yet, which can only mean he plans to surprise me tomorrow with not one but many, many likes on my posts! I'm thinking that as I sleep he will be up all night ticking like next to the 1,500 and more posts I've done. It's a long job, and he will be too tired to appreciate Christmas, but it's worth it, at least from my perspective. Therefore, to sooth my active mind, and in order to get me in the sleeping mood, this is your chance. You can be my troubadour; yes you can be the one standing beneath my window serenading me with beautiful music and courtly love, so I can dream sweet dreams. Please post music suggestions below,and don't forget to wear a feather in your hat while you play majestically on your instrument as you gaze up at my window and think of me (ooh matron).

I think you should listen to "A Lotus on Irish Streams" from the 1972 LP "Inner Mounting Flame" by the Mahavishnu Orchestra with John McLaughlin (it's actually a trio chamber piece, and sort of post-pre-Raphaelite):
PS this evening, if you can find it somewhere, you should watch The Avengers episode "Too Many Christmas Trees" from 1965, starring Diana Rigg and Patrick Macnee. But it may be somewhat too stimulating for the nervous disposition of a sheltered young girl such as yourself.

I decided to make an end of year complaint.
Dear dem bones,
I don't see why the ladies on here can't have more personalised titles, as the title I have seems more suitable for a man, and no way what I look like in real life, and it must be a turn off for women thinking of joining, and there aren't many of us anyway, and though it might be argued we should be treated the same as the men, in this case I see that as a levelling down. Of course it could also be argued that I am constantly changing my profile information and would no doubt do it to my title as well, but as only the forum owner can alter a title that wouldn't be a problem, as long as I liked the title I was given, as I would be blocked from doing it.
Yours, a concerned forum member.
