That’s longer than I’ve been in any relationship without breaking up. That’s longer than I’ve lived in any one place and almost as long as I lived in once city. That’s almost as old as my son and almost a QUARTER OF MY LIFE.

What am I talking about, dear readers? But my bloggiversary, of course. It is now January of 2008 and I have been blogging since January of 2001. Since before it was cool, hip or trendy. Since the time when I said the word ‘blog’ out loud and everyone looked at me as if I had just suggested that the earth was really a giant cube.

My blog… is my blog. And well. It does bloggy things. Like trigger nasty hate emails and wonderful, friendly OMGTHANKYOU emails. It is also the center around which my universe spins. I KID. (but do I?) (hah.. I do.) (?) (.) (seriously.)

This year, it served up 1,801,199 hits and gained 50 new accounts. All in all, it was a good year.

There was this whole bit here about how I’m all bipolar about blogging. It’s this window into this part of me that vacillates between confidence in who I am and that I, as the person I am, can hold my own and the part of me that whimpers and hides in corners… and yada yada. But I’ll just leave it at that and say I still love my blog truly deeply and that my blog does not lie to me and it is always there with a blinking cursor to lean on and that although I might cheat on it just a little and have another blog somewhere, I always come back because I gotz tha good stuff at home.
