I am very easily amused, and my current pre-occupation is mundane haikus. I've been silly all over the place (mostly on various Facebook walls) by composing messages in haiku-format, and only recently, have decided to keep track of it by blog, partially as a sort of personal journal, but largely to keep myself amused. I don't really know how likely it is that I will have a new one every day, but I will try my best to have one up whenever I can.
For the uninitiated, Wiki gives a rather extended definition of a haiku, which you can check out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku
But in short, (and roughly translated from the original Japanese intention), haikus are a form of poetry, which follow a 5-7-5 format, wherein the numbers indicate the number of syllables in each line.
Since this is more a tongue-in-cheek exercise in personal amusement than in literary seriousness, I'm not going to be terribly focused on the nuances of the original Japanese art form (at least not until I can stop being silly, and definitely not until I get poetically-skilled enough give the poetic format the proper respect it deserves).
Hopefully I'll be able to keep this up for a good while; I've been known to abandon causes without prior notice, so... *crosses fingers*
x (>___<) x <------ supposed to be my scrunched up face and crossed fingers. As proper warning, I am also prone to the occasional bad ASCII drawings.
