A Note to My Constituents

No, this isn't part of the story.

I'm taking a break here to remind everyone that, though Adventures in Real Life is in fact based off of real life, not all the events in it actually happened. Furthermore, most of the characters bear a certain resemblence to people I know. I want to make it clear that I have not simply changed the names of people I already know, I've used those people as a blueprint for the development of fictional characters.

What I'm trying to say is that what you're reading isn't necessarily true. In fact, most of what's coming up was made up entirely. I'm stating this explicitly because I'd rather not have some of my closest friends abandon me for slandering their names.

So remember, if you see a character very similar to yourself, you are probably the basis for that character. However, the actions of that character do not necessarily reflect things you have done or even the way I see you. Instead, they are actions that I think would make for an interesting storyline.

I'm sorry about breaking up the tempo of the story like this, but I'd rather not spend the rest of my time at Allegheny without friends, so I'm sure everyone understands.
