But seriously, nice post. It looks like it shows your personality, which is good. I look forward to more of your posts.
While technically correct, an occasional sentence fragment could be regarded as a stylistic choice. Perhaps the lady thought that a sentence fragment there was the best way to convey her meaning. A bit of irony, perhaps?

Anyway, welcome to our little corner of the web. We're all a bit odd, so if you're a bit odd as well you'll fit right in.
