Don't destroy 4 years worth of tradition. If you type something without italics once, then you will ruin your record and you will never be able to get it back. I wish I had a tradition like that. The only tradition I have is since I got 500 posts I got a custom avatar and never changed it.

I went for a very long time before changing my avatar. Over a year at least. I'll probably keep my current avatar for a long, long time.

It represents the greatest state in the U.S. union.

you don't see a difference between all caps and italics?

One is much, much easier to read. I have no problem reading italics. I don't know what is wrong with your eyes.

this gives me an idea.

I think I need an annoying gimmick. I don't think I'm as annoying as I could be.

Should it be some saying?, or some crazy format of type?
