So here is the pivotal moment, then; trying to find out what to say on my own userpage. Aren't articles on Wikipedia supposed to be ''useful''? Maybe, maybe not. Case in point: the deleted article about cartoon characters with fingerless gloves ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_fictional_characters_who_wear_fingerless_gloves bona fide], remarkably).

So here is the pivotal moment, then; trying to find out what to say on my own userpage. Aren't articles on Wikipedia supposed to be useful? Maybe, maybe not. But my existence on Earth is useless, let that be known.

But...back to the topic. I guess I could start from the beginning of it all. At first, I came here because I wanted to fix a few things about classical music articles, so I logged in and became a member under the name "MusicalConnoisseur."[1] Thought I was a wise gal, really. Then, gradually, the more I learned about Wikipedia, the more the Wikiholism set in. Instead of the user using the computer, it became the computer using the user (Since, in Soviet Russia...you know). Soon, I was pushing two to three hours in a row of nonstop editing. I stayed up into the wee hours for "just one more edit." I could not, for the life of me, be dragged away from the computer, and I would cling onto it like a dearly beloved and would dig my nails into its sides until tears streamed from my eyes (okay, exaggeration, but you get the idea). Ultimately, I couldn't get enough.[2]

Today, on Wikipedia, I keep a close eye on music articles, and sometimes totally random pages that I found interesting. I was previously a hard-core vandal-fighter, but have decided to spend more time article-building.

In my spare time in real life, I play my beloved instrument (if you haven't guessed it by now, take a second look). I especially love classical music, and I look up to Beethoven, Chopin, Bach, and Rachmaninoff. But doesn't everyone?

But instead of reading all this mindless jib-jab about me, why don't you set about finding the link to my secret page? It's somewhere on one of my pages...that's as much information as I'll give you. Good luck! A barnstar awaits thee...

Today's motto...
