Sunday is my one year Blogaversary,but since it is also Father’s Day, I’m posting this today.
One year……It seems to have gone by so fast, which is strange because when I was waiting for the holidays or for vacation, it seemed to c.r.a.w.l. by. I have learned alot of things about my blogging friends but more than that, I have learned about myself.
I have learned that even though everyone complains about memes and never wants to be tagged, they sure do jump at the opportunity to do one and thus save themselves from a “dry day”.
I have learned that I have been to the doctors alot this past year, mostly for myself. Thankfully, I got the job done and I’ll be cool for another year or two.*knock wood!*
I have learned that although I have considered myself to be a fairly easy-going person, alot of things piss me the hell off. The difference is that before I blogged, many of these things went unexpressed. This led to mood swings that were borderline psychotic. Now that I can spew forth through my keyboard, I find myself relaxing more than I can ever remember doing.
I have learned that when your world comes crashing down around you, your friends are there to help pick you up. I have seen the depths of despair and the heights of joy through the eyes of my friends. I have seen the generosity of strangers. And I have seen you open your hearts to me and to each other.
I have learned that I am crazy in love with my family. Only the ones you love can make you become a raving lunatic. Only the ones you love can hurt you so very deeply. Only the ones you love can make your heart swell with pride. Only the ones you love ever see you in your jammies, with last night’s mascara running across your eyes, with that white gunk on the side of your lips, while dragon fumes escape your mouth and all the while STILL give you a hug and kiss in the morning!
Blogging has become so personal and simultaneously public to me. I have made some of the best friends. You make me laugh. You make me cry. You let me know that I am not the only one out there who feels like a dork.
And you let me know that some days, though I may be the only one in the house, when an outburst of laughter is heard, it’s just me….being silly with my friends.

on June 16, 2008 at 11:22 AMA year? No way!
I’m glad blogging helps you emotionally. It’s been great getting to know you and hopefully we’ll become better friends down the road.
Keep those stories coming. I love sitting at my computer as well, no noise in the house but my occasional laughter at something you or someone else has posted.
