Io sono Kelly!

Got it goin' Bossanova

About Me

"Who are you?" said the Caterpillar. This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation.
Alice replied, rather shyly, "I--I hardly know, sir, just at present--at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then."
-Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll
