Rather than editing it, look on it as a re-write and make sure that you use your own words and you'll be fine :)
I'm so sorry Chris, that will teach me to speed read lol - I completely missed the bit that they were already your words.

You're not trying to rank for your about-me page, so I whether or not that page ranks doesn't matter. It won't affect the overall "SEO" or rank power of your site, so copying over is fine IMO. That being said, it's really not that much work to re-write a new page, and I always try to make content unique for my own sites.
Yes, of course, now that you put it that way, it makes a lot of sense. Thanks, Nathaniell.
I was thinking that the ranking for my website AS A WHOLE would decrease. But, of course, it's PAGES that are ranked, not websites. Or are they? (I guess that website HOMEpages are ranked--because they're pages too. Right?)
