I have been wondering whether to tell my reader(s) these things for some time now. But you know how the Internets are; word gets out. So, what follows is a list of things that you most likely would have found out about me anyway.

Besides: I feel confident now that you like me for me.

Many, MANY people have not, Erin, to their unspeakable, if unknowable, loss. If this blog can, however humbly and imperfectly, make them aware of the empty, ignorant lives they have so far been leading, well then, my work here will not have been in vain.
