Good lord, this is terrifying. I wondered why Steven was Gla DOS now.
I believe I was Linda Blair for a second. Then Sauron.

I know how to find it. Just diff one of the old pages against my archived copy. If only Window's had a good diff tool.

I believe there are roughly a dozen creepy avatars.
Among them more than half are Cthulhu and Slendymen.

I saw a random Slendy cosplayer hanging out by the train station the other day.
My dad was like, woah, check out that guy, and we explained to him about Slenderman.

Anyway, you'll never see anything if you only scroll down like I normally do. It only happens when you scroll back up.

I would like to dress up as Harry Dresden for Halloween. My problems are that I don't have a gaucho hat, a duster, a staff, or a pentagram necklace.

Interesting. Posting the script source resulted in all the possible images being posted. I didn't even know it was possible to post multiple images.
Anyway, re costuming: I thought about going as Sollux but I can't make even such a simple costume as that.
