Look, Kristen. Eileen is a Writing Bootista, OK? You, on the other hand, are one of the little-known but elite Writing Boots Fighting Troops.

Oh - I'm one of the "elite"?! Well, that's okay then!

I humbly accept my award as Writing Bootista and will attempt to live up to everything that title implies. Just as soon as I figure out what that is...
