Not too personal for me, mind you.  Rather, too personal for family, friends, potential future employers…  You see, I enjoy writing.  But sometimes, if you speak plainly, people get pissed off.  So, I used to step away from the computer and appease people.

Now?  Screw it.  Like an addict looking for a fix, I need to write, and if I have to ditch my real name to do so, then that’s what I have to do.
