I'm an advanced pronoun

I appear not to be doing well at all. Tell me something I'm unlikely to know.

You may already know this, but it never fails to crack me up:

Hope things improve soon. :)

Eee, really? Watch out. I may get kind of bouncy and evangelize a lot.

Broken Social Scene is sort of the megaband that a lot of Toronto indie rock comes out of: the people in Metric, Stars, Feist, Jason Collett, Do Make Say Think, The Weakerthans, Apostle of Hustle...all came out of Broken Social Scene or play in BSS as a side project. It's Voltron. They're amazing. I saw them live this summer and it was the Best Day Ever, no foolin'.

The original salute to accompany recitation the Pledge of Allegiance was to stand at attention with the left hand at one's side and the right arm pointed forward and slightly upward, with an open, downward-facing palm. This posture, called the "Bellamy salute," was dropped in the 1940s, in favor of placing one's right hand over one's heart, due to the use of an identical salute in Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany.

Also, as a country we've done everything we can to forget that the original Pledge of Allegiance was composed by a socialist.
