User:almost-instinct

My contributions might suggest that I'm no longer terribly active on WP, but I do look in every day to keep an eye on vandalism, and to respond to questions about my contributions. I occasionally create short new BLP articles and, more often, shove what is intended to be a helpful oar into talk page discussions

almost-instinct joined Wikipedia because a-i thought the Philip Larkin page ought not look like [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Philip_Larkin&oldid=210156328 this]
almost-instinct is proud to have help the Philip Larkin look more like [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Philip_Larkin&oldid=249395582 this]
almost-instinct felt a sense of pride once a-i had finished typing in this
almost-instinct dreams of a whole series of Larkin pages, but has the sense to realise that a-i isn't the editor for the job
almost-instinct very rarely edits in the field in which a-i is truly knowledgeable; is there an obverse to ignorance is bliss?
almost-instinct thinks that be bold need not mean be ignorant and hasty [[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AAlmost-instinct&action=historysubmit&diff=303660075&oldid=287460159 this] is a cute example]

''Lord, I am not high-minded : I have no proud looks.
I do not exercise myself in great matters : which are too high for me
But I refrain my soul, and keep it low, like as a child that is weaned from his mother : yea, my soul is even as a weaned child.
O Israel, trust in the Lord : from this time forth for evermore.

almost-instinct has a sense of irony; do you?
