i tell you, never had there been such ditsy excitement at Seleda. the two friends who brought our two diarists (kicking and screaming, i hear) to our doors were beside themselves with glee. we were quite enthused ourselves, and keen to get started...

more frighteningly, the two friends had also threatened the editors with loss of life, limb and body parts (not necessarily in that order) if we:

* didn't kiss up to Their Kboornets our Diarists in a continuous and committed manner; or

* didn't protect with our lives any identifying information we may get about either of them.

so even as we affixed our lips adroitly to their virtual...heineys...we vowed to be discreet, and the diarists began.

Let's introduce you to our dueling diarists:

* Dagmawi (no relation to the web-talking-head Dagmawi) started this off:
