This is me metaphorically dipping my toes into Livejournal

[footnotetoplato]

This, the first sentence in my first post, is curiously devoid of any interesting information. The second sentence has delusions of grandeur and speaks of itself exclusively in the third person, but nevertheless informs the patient reader that the self-reference will stop soon.

This is the last sentence of the post, and its conclusion justifies the assertion of the previous sentence.
