hah the quote about epitaphs is quite funny considering that was what my last entry was about.
I used to comment here from a xanga site (cityofcorsairs) , but now i have a blogger account now, so I shall comment with it now.
happy quoting.
Glad to hear from you via Blogger. I wasn't sure about your ID till I read one of the comments mentioning your name.
BTW, you can now subscribe to the Frictionary, if you wish.
