h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I need desperately to update my journal, as I haven't done so in over a year, but I unfortunately have nothing to say, so I've decided to make the longest, most drawn out, poly-compound (is that a word?) sentence I possibly can, even though I have no good reason for doing it, and despite the fact that it's awkward as hell to read, but it at least gives me SOMETHING to make an entry about, which, as I said earlier, I desperately need to do, the current "most recent" journal entry being related to Douglas Adams' death, which happened over a year ago and really isn't news to anybody at this point (besides which, I needed to push it down in the list because it included a promise to add some REAL entries to the guide, a promise on which I have yet to deliver, and thus could not just leave at the top of the page, for all to see, bearing testimony to my failing on this point).

semi colins work wonders when you are writing a paragraph as one sentence. I soo used to piss my 10 grade English teacher off with that. He'd say "you have to respond in 5 senteces or less" and I'd turn in a page long report that was only 2 sentences

Semicolons do kick multiple varieties of human posterior.
