Jaymark Primer
So, I have a lot of friends who read this who don't really know that much about me. This is kind of a run-down of the things I think are particularly important, particularly a list of people who I talk about by name in my journal. Ideally, this might help people keep my friends straight... Or maybe it'll just help them realize why it's so hard to keep my friends straight. There are quite a few of them... ^_^;
Anywho, it was just an idea bouncing around my head so I took it out before it gave me a headache. :) Before the list of friends is a random collection of things that I generally assume my readers know, and that might help you paint a general picture of me.
