Please either read about Personas online or wait until they're more than
half-done. They can be of immense value to our marketing efforts,
including in product development, research, and advertising.

The bits that seem random to you are bits that make them feel like real
people, which helps people to identify with them and meet their needs.
Ignore those parts if they don't help you personally.
