You're so vain, I bet you think this entry's about you.
[Ha! I'm so clever in my unoriginality.]

I don't think this entry is about me, but now I feel like you should write an entry about me. Preferably in elegaic couplets.

As in "consisting of a dactylic hexameter and pentameter" couplets, or sad couplets, or both or what? And what does "dactylic" mean, anyway? Is that like the reverse of iambic? And should it be hexameter or pentameter or a mix or what?

Dactylic hexameter: six feet in a line, ending with an two syllable anceps - which is either STRESSED STRESSED or STRESSED unstressed.
Dactyl: STRESSED unstressed unstressed
The first line of the couplet is in hexameter, the second in pentameter.
Now, hop to!
