Categories, properly explained

It pleasures me greatly to be writing this to you, dearest of readers. I have written this blog just for you. For I know that in the days to come you will look at the tags on these blogged posts I will so painstakingly have constructed for you, and you will read them, and then you will look at the categorization of the post, and you will say: "What most blasted tarnation is this in my feed? Lorrie, get the gun." But never fear, when that day comes, merely return to this page (bookmark it, perhaps, or engrave it on your laptop, or commit it to memory; in fact, I have composed a poem for it:

Eitch, teeteepee, colon,
Slash slash enzee
Explained! dot.
Blog's pot dot.
Com slash!
Twenty ten slash twelve slash!
Categories dash,
Properly dash,
Explained dot.
Eitch
Tee
Em
Ell.

(Which as you can see is by no means difficult to remember.)) and review the following categories:

• quaint: Aren't foreign countries so cute and quirky? Their people look so adorable when they go about their normal, day-to-day lives in their fascinating little ways. It's nice to know that wherever you go in the world, you can meet people just like yourself, only not nearly as sophisticated.
• monkeys: I have it on good faith that New Zealand has no native land mammals, which only raises the question: "Well, what kind of monkeys do they have, any way?" I will keep you up to date on this important environmental question.
• colonial: There are so many business opportunities in strange lands for a clever entrepreneur such as yourself! In these posts, I will discuss the treasures of the islands, from rich mineral and labor resources ripe for the taking to the native weapons and strategic defenses (if any).
• moving: Traveling has its perks, from stench-filled buses to photogenic scenery conveniently placed near parking lots. It's important to create as many significant experiences as possible in the allotted time: you are trying to impress your friends, aren't you?
  
• horrible: We all know that countries overseas permit all manner of primitive and unstylish practices that we should stamp out, if only our military were not nearly so underfunded. Let me tell you, whenever I get that spidey sense of something evil and un-American it is my duty to blog it for you.
• whoah: If there's one thing about long journeys I love, it's that inevitable delightful occasion when Deep Stuff Happens. If I don't have supernatural enlightenment on some wind warped peak, then I'm sure to run into some pitiable person with a challenging life who will teach me far more than I could ever repay. How wonderful!

This list seems good to me now, sir or ma'am reader, I have sat back and stared at it for 5 minutes in awe of the completeness it represents. However, should I ever need to add new categories to this list, I shall try to edit this post to ensure that they all remain properly explained.

• huh: For example, I just realized that I needed a category for all this introductory and about informational blogging matter that folks love to read, so I just added it.
