I was quite resolved that I would remember the anniversary of my website, and be sure to mark it with some glurgy post or other. However, between the fact that I don’t generally blog on weekends and the fact that my work computer had gone kaplooey just before, May 29 passed unmarked.
So, there it is. I’ve managed to keep a-bloggin’ for over a year, posting fresh nonsense almost every weekday. When I started, I lived in an apartment and had a lousy job. Now I have a job I enjoy and a real, grown-up house. I got my first rejection letter for a short story I wrote, I’ve read more books, I’ve learned new words. Other than that, the landmarks mostly consist of things like Kenny the Drider-American, my run-ins with wildlife, and the imaginary doings of many imaginary people (as opposed to Kenny, who lives down the street from a friend of mine.) I hope you are amused, o nebulous public, and that perhaps I even have a few readers that don’t know me personally, which would make me feel like a small, gleaming internet star.

Congratulations!
One year of blogging and you get a sweet job and a big fabulous house. Pah! Where is my big fabulous house? Where is my miniature riding pony? Where is my all-female fan club?
I’m jealous.
Re: Congratulations!
Pah! You have international quasi-stardom from YOUR blog.
And despite persistent requests, I DO NOT HAVE A PONY EITHER!
Congratulations!
I greatly enjoy reading your site, and even though we’ve only met for 1 minute in a book store parking lot, I am sure next time we run into each other there will be much more to talk about. Keep up the wonderful work!
Re: Congratulations!
Thankee! We certainly will have much more to talk about…I am eager to pick your brains about gardening, as well as chatting about books and such!
Yay!
Yay, a whole year of Felicity’s excellent short fiction and interesting commentary! Keep it up!
Re: Yay!
If faerye.net were a book, I’d quote you for the back-blurb. :p
Re: Yay!
Oooooh, a back-blurb. :-)
Re: Yay!
...or you could simply maintain a quotes page, like Enasmai does. :o)
Re: Yay!
Nah, I’d want funnies in a quote page, not self-aggrandizement :)
I have occasionally considered trying to set up a dat file of quotes, by famous people and not, that would get randomly displayed somewheres on the page.
Re: Yay!
That could be interesting…
