About
- Well, hello.So it looks like you've stumbled into my website. Might as well make yourself comfortable and get to know it, since you're here and all. It's a cozy little website, no frills, just a few things to click upon. Please feel free to click. But wait. Not just yet. I mean, you've only just arrived, why hurry about so quickly. Don't be so quick to click, as they say.* Let's get to know eachother! That is why you've chosen to check out this ABOUT page isn't it? So, ABOUT. What's ABOUT about anyway? Oh dear, I've said ABOUT too many times and now it has lost meaning. Drat, this paragraph has gotten out of control and is wayward, shall we begin a new one and leave this naughty one alone? Yes, let's shall!Whew we narrowly escaped the mayhem of Paragraph #1. So far Paragraph #2 is pretty sane. Alright. Where was I? Oh yes, ABOUT. You've obviously stuck with me this far; That says a lot about you. It says you are many things. Let's make a list of everything I know ABOUT you, because, afterall, we shouldn't assume that my "about" page be simply all about me; That would be completely selfish**:1) patient2) literate (or you could be illiterate, in which case you'd never know that I am saying that about you; how un/fortunate!)3) curiousWow I really like those qualities in a person! Wouldn't the world be ultra pleasant if everyone were as 1,2,3 as you? I'm just going to come out and say it. Here goes:: I love you. Eep! I mean, you have to believe me when I say I'm never really this forward, but I feel so comfortable around you. It's as if I've known you forever. Maybe in our past lives we were penpals? You know, how we're kinda penpals right now (wink-wink there's a contact page just a click away). But before pre-internet days. Before pre-paper days. Before pre-phoenician alphabet days. Our love affair goes all the way to hieroglyphics time--when you would write to me in frantic symbols, "Cat! Person! Sun! Eyeball!" and I would feverishly reply iconographically, "Moon! Dog! Reed! River!" Sound familiar? Perhaps reminiscent of something you said/read in the past? Are you reciprocating my love yet? Are you still out there? Are you still qualities 1, 2, 3 which I cherish most ABOUT a person?OMG, Paragraph #3 got super creepy huh? Uh-oh, this is my last shot; Paragraph #4 don't fail me now! Aw man, I don't like how I keep talking about my paragraphs in the third person. Okay let's just start truly afresh in Paragraph #5. Deep breath. Are you ready? Here goes.My name is Shannon Hiramoto and I make stuff to wear.*That's a lie, no one has ever said that.**There's nothing -ish about how self I am. I am completely self. There never was more of a solid self than this. So don't you even start attaching a diminutive -ish to the end of this self in an attempt to say I am less than self, like one would try to do with a red-white and call it redish or whitish when it is clearly pink.
