Yet Another Epiphany

First, I want to let you know that I'm pleased how popular the "live chat" feature is, but rest assured, if someone claims to be me, it isn't. I don't have time to shave (or, usually, even get dressed) in my life. God knows I don't have time to hang out in chat. So if someone's there claiming to be me, it isn't. Promise. (Or if it really is me, you will be dazzled at my virtually impossible typing speed and witty pontifications. Not to mention my boyish good looks, even though they will be invisible within the confines of a browser).

I have also put them in a positive voice. Godspeed to you.
