Thanks. I guess that was kind of uh...narcissistic of me to say about myself. And it did help. Wonderland likes to put us all on display too much and I was afraid it'd come out in a way that would actually terrify people.

Or an event would happen that was on me, and people would be pissed I didn't tell them before. A lot of scenarios went through my head, actually.
