Who am I?
This is a deep and complicated question, and one I ask myself almost as often as other people ask me “Who are you?”. Normally in these situations I simply answer “I am Me!” which while being technically a correct answer, does not actually answer the question.
This time my normal answer is not good enough. I have been informed by “The Editors” of Coronatio Quadrans that along with submitting my paper for their next edition, I must also supply a brief “bio” so that the readers of the magazine can find out who I am.
This had the affect of both crushing my ego because how can they not know who I am? Don’t they know who I am? I am IMPORTANT! It also had the issue of me now needing to write a simple bio. Now I know you dear reader are thinking that can not be much of an issue, after all I have had a personal website since the very early 90s, I am all over the place and many sites need you to put a simple bio in.
Well you are correct, but again “The Editors” would not allow me to put any of my normal ones on. I asked AI who I was, and it came up with lots of information about me, some of which I did not know. I do now have to write three of the books it claimed I have written because the topics sounded interesting.
I procrastinated for weeks, until I finally settled down to write something that was not too rubbish, and this is what I came up with.
