I think... Maybe... Perhaps... Possibly... there may be a chance... that:

I'm Baaaaack!!! (Ahhnold! I'll be baaack!) Of course, I do not remember a single thing, I don't even remember how to revert a page, I had to copy and paste and I don't know if this will work, and I need an admin to unlock a page for me, and I can't figure out how to archive my talk page, OY! Which, backwards, is YO!!!! Which of COURSE means: HEY, R! DREAD! OLIVE!! KEI!!! I neeeed youuuuu... <3 I don't know how to do ANYTHING. Boy have I got a bunch of reading to do I guess... eep. I have a graphic design project that is going on for the entire summer that I need to work on, but as usual, once this WONDERFUL computer (poke poke R and Dread and Olive) got put together, here I am! Well, sorta. I bet this will end up looking stupid.

As I tend to "lurk" until I feel I know enough to post something meaningful, or assist in some useful way, my first genuine foray into editing wasn't until nearly two years after creating the account, once I felt I had a good grasp of most of the basic policies, and I had much more time on my hands. Since July of 2007, I've been active in Recent Change patrol, Articles for Creation, Editor's Assistance Requests, , Articles for Deletion, , and its sub-projects, and a wide variety of other areas.

I frequently spend time doing edits, doing general cleanup, fixing footnotes, etc. I really feel that properly cited references are the backbone of a really great article, and to that end, I use the citation templates to fix the "simple URL" references in many articles, as they provide information not available by simply looking at a URL with no explanation. I have created several articles, including some that went on to become good articles and were featured in Did you know...?, but I also enjoy doing behind-the-scenes work.

I have a lot of time on my hands, so I hope that in the future, while I may not be memorable, I'll at least be remembered as having helped in small ways, to what I envision as a repository of knowledge for the future.
