who am i?

"I am but mad north-northwest; when the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw."
-- Hamlet

I hate writing anything autobiographical.

An odd way to begin an autobiographical blurb about myself, but accurate. The reason being that of all critics, oneself is always the harshest one. I'm inclined to think that my statements are often silly, or brainless, or divulge too much that can come back to haunt either me or others. So I tend to keep these short, sweet, and utterly lacking in any actual information, which kind of defeats the purpose. But I ramble, as usual...
