Happy Birthday to R&M!

Well folks, it has finally come.  I HAVE BEEN BLOGGING FOR ONE WHOLE YEAR! *jumps up and down with excitement*  Isn't it amazing?  One year, one hundred posts (yes, I timed it on purpose, and yes, some of them are still drafts), fifty-two followers, and 3,935 pageviews.  You all are so sweet.   I know it sounds cliche, but I really wouldn't have kept blogging without all the awesome feedback I get.  I've discovered all sorts of cool people, too.

So, have I learned anything by blogging?  I think I have.  I've discovered that I really like article-style writing, for one.  I think it's what I'm best at, really.  (I know what you're thinking.  If that's what she's best at...)  I've also realized that it's stupid to apologize for my opinions and tastes.  It just makes me sound rant-y and insecure and who knows what else.  Not to mention, a shocking amount of people actually agree with me, which is kind of awesome.

So, happy birthday to me.  And thank you all for being amazing.  *gives gigantic internet hug*

    Hi five from Colorado!!! Congradulations!!!

    Really, I extremely enjoy your blog--its name is so very elven and your articles so agreeable. (I keep intending to leave long erudite comments, but always forget.)

    Again, congradulations, and please continue!!!

    And forgive my apparent obsession with exclamation points.

      Long erudite comments are wonderful. *makes puppydog eyes* :)

      And, you like the name? That's encouraging...I haven't been sure about it lately.

      As for exclamation points, they are a common disease. I can forgive them. :p

      Thank you, Clare! I think I may have done this award already, but it can't hurt to do it again, can it? ;)

Your comments make my day! I read every single one of them, and I'll usually check out my commenters' blogs, if I don't follow them already. I try to reply to my comments, but please don't be offended if I don't make it to yours. Procrastination habits do extend to comment replies, unfortunately.

Of course, courtesy is necessary. I will delete any comments which do not meet my requirements.

Thanks for making the effort to tell me your thoughts!
