me, labeled

yes, you found me

And the name tag proves it.  This photo shows approximately what I look like at any given moment.

The reason I have that big, silly grin on my face is that I was feeling very good, having imbibed two glasses of wine.  Or maybe it was three.  I may have forgotten who I was, but anybody else could easily figure it out simply by reading the name tag I was wearing.  This is a prime example of the injustice inherent in name tags.  If somebody forgets who they are, it is insensitive and spiteful to keep remembering.

And now you know everything about me.  Feel free to critique my appearance, if you are so inclined.
