Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Aside from the weirdness of the text in the columns being right next to each other, it looks fine.

I tried fixing that, but since I'm limited to inline CSS (Vanilla apparently strips out old-timey HTML attributes from the <table> tag), I'd have to manually add style="padding:4px;" to every cell and frankly i just kinda lack the patience.

I don't blame you. Even if you copied and pasted it, that'd take a while.

Do you ever notice recurring themes in your own writing after the fact?
I'm finally getting around to writing out some stuff for the whole "teens whose family runs a motel, also paranormal stuff" idea I mentioned a while back, and I realized that light seems to be a recurring motif. The protagonist carries around a flashlight as a security blanket, and the motel itself is called the Rising Sun Motel, among other examples.

Whoa, it took me until literally just now to realize the the names in the "Who's Online" box are in alphabetical order.
Up until now I'd assumed they were in order of most recent visit, but then I realized how strange it was that a8's name is always on the very top and...yeah.
Fortunately, my mother was out so I didn't have to get drunk before the day begins, but then again I probably wouldn't have to do that anyway because I have very few friends she would complain about.

yes often
i seem to be subconsciously developing obsessions with stillness (particularly still water), birds, and the collapsing together ofdifferent time periods
really i notice a lot of stuff in my writing "after the fact" that is maybe done intuitively and maybe a coincidence.
a poem i was writing, in early drafts, i noticed that the word water was cropping up a lot at the end of lines, so i added in another 'water' or two and thought it was really cool but couldnt pinpoint why
then realised each water was a different thing: e.g. above water, of water, in water, over water... and spookily enough id been reading 'Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird' that day i began writing it...?? completely unintentional, maybe a coincidence, idk

I generally tend to run with recurring themes when I notice them, to the point that I end up intricately interconnecting things through mirrored themes and plots that take on similar ideas from different angles.
When I described a few such instances to a friend of mine, he said that my story insofar was, in his words, "incredibly pretentious but amazing."

In that case, I should probably change my avatar, then.

Should I go for a walk?
I want to go around the neighborhood with my camera and take pictures of infrastructure-y things (traffic signs, etc.) but I have anxieties that tell me I shouldn't for some reason.

Any reason in particular or just a general feeling?

I'm worried that everyone will stare at me like some kinda freak for doing things like taking pictures of broken streetlights ._.

That's the weird thing, I've gone to other places and walked around doing exactly the same thing but for some reason when it's my own neighborhood I feel uneasy about it.
I always get the feeling that the neighbors see me as some kind of creep because I drive an old car and I don't leave the house often because I don't have a job...oh god I'm paranoid, aren't I?

Not very original but hey.
Guess i'd better get an avatar, then.
You might get some odd looks but i bet most people won't pay any attention.
Or, he was and it was a coincidence?
So if i were you i'd go for it.
