1. I'm truly dismal at sustaining small talk or keeping up with daily exchanges of annoyingly cute bits of html code.
2. If you know me from my former life as a rollergirl and we don't have a personal friendship outside of that, I'll be happy to keep in touch with you through my rollergirl profile. It's nothing personal. Please understand that it's important for me to have my own little corner of the virtual world where skating is not the main topic of conversation.
3. If you don't know me at all and I added you out of the blue, you can safely assume it's because I found you interesting and am simply too shy to say hello first. I'm really awful and awkward with introductions, but quite friendly once you get to know me.
