Dear Blog

Posted on by

Dear Blog,

On this, your 5th birthday, I’d like to thank you for introducing me to some of the people who are now my best friends in the world, for never backfiring on me too badly when I stuck my toes in the crazy, for never attracting the real crazy that exists out there on the internet, for helping me learn to be a librarian, and for helping me learn to be an adult. I started you on a whim and on another platform. I’ve fallen out of love with you and then realized that it wasn’t you, it was me, and this realization led me back to appreciating you again. And through it all, you’re still here, bursting with drafts that I may never flesh out, but here nonetheless. Happy birthday.

Yours,
Iris

    Whoa, blogs can last longer than a year? I should look into that... anyway, congratulations on your half-decade!

    I had a cupcake. We'll say it was to celebrate even if I didn't see this thread until afterward :)

    I would question your assertion that your blog hasn't attracted "the real crazy that exists out there on the internet." http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=sergio+rivera+ayala

    Ok, that was crazy, and had potential to get really crazy, so I'm glad it didn't.

    You would enter some kind of crazy recursion loop.
