To Ana5K5Parra, I still remember your request for me to write about the Hispanics in celebration of ...Hispanics Month? Sorry if I offended anyone by my clueless self. I will write about them in my book, All About Me. I just didn't find it that appropriate to write about them in a book about celebrities so...yeah.

I will still write about them. Just in my book, All About Me. It might not be so soon as I don't even know who they are to begin with, but I will try my best. Thanks for the request, by the way.
