Birthday Speech

My dear People,

I welcome you to my blog.

Today is my seventeenth birthday:  I am seventeen today!

I hope you are all enjoying yourselves as much as I am.

I shall not keep you long.

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

I wish to make an ANNOUNCEMENT.

I am going.  I am leaving NOW.  GOOD-BYE!

(POOF!)
