Hi Habbos, :-)
I know some of you are coming to check out this web site.
I am thrilled that anyone would want to read my writing
and look at the work I've done in online communities.
If anyone saw personal details on this site, they are very much out
of date. So if you did see an address and phone number,
don't bother the new owners. :-) As for my last name,
it is what it is, but I'm taking it off so my habbo
friends won't worry too much. Best to everyone,
and hope you enjoy the site. -- BA
