The ever delightful and deliciously debauched Harvey of Bad Money has reminded me that today is my one year blogging anniversary.
It had completely slipped my mind, and I hate it when guests drop by and there's no Easy Cheese in the pantry! It reflects so poorly on my hostess skills. Well, I have one hour before I have to leave to begin my twelve hour work day, so perhaps I can whip something up out of this wilted lettuce and that half box of Trefoils before the guests start behaving like extras in Dawn of the Dead...
After one year, I still love Frank J. But my cyber crushes have grown to include just about every guy (and a few gals, too) listed on my sidebar. In fact, my "regular reads" have gone from about five blogs to near fifty, and it seems like every day a great new blogger comes along. There just aren't enough non-work hours in the day to keep up with my favorites and have a life in the "real'" world. Some days this makes me sad--all that wonderful writing going unread! Or, as often as not, read but uncommented upon...I wish I had the time and creative energy to compose a wonderfully insightful comment for every post I read, so the blogger in question knows I appreciate the effort they went to for me...
Blogging is not a solitary activity. It is a community activity that entertains, informs, outrages, enlightens and even improves the human condition. I am extremely grateful to be a part of such a group, and I owe my success, such as it is, to the single most thoughtful, generous, selfless, hilarious, brilliant, and geekly man I know, Pixy Misa of Ambient Irony. He rescued me from the Slough of Despond (aka Bogsplot) and the rest, as they say, is my own fault...
Now--where are my presents????
Posted by Susie at April 25, 2004 10:23 AM | TrackBackHey, I know I'm a little overly-affectionate, but... Easy Cheese? A tad harsh.
Who am I kidding? I'm a tart.
And congrats on a year enriching, inspiring, and making us snort liquids up our noses.
Happy Blogiversary, Susie!
