1 Year

[guingel]

oops. I slept all day. Well, by the time I got to sleep last night I could see the sky getting lighter. I woke up at 11, and then was up for a bit, and then ended up taking another nap til 4:30 (I don't know when I fell asleep). So that's why I'm being lazy with commenting on friend's post ;)

Well, I've had my LJ for 1 year today.
In one year:
-403 entries. fun and often helpful for me to write.
-11 communities, that helped me to meet people :)
-about 250 different icons made. O_O (not used, I still have a whole bunch I haven't used yet)
-about 15 different layouts.
-2,905 comments posted in other's journals. XD I've been busy! Well, your entries are all so interesting, how can I resist?
-1,839 comments received from others. Thank you! :)
-142 interests. :) w00t!
and, last but not least. . .
-30 wonderful friends.

I'm not as obsessed with LJ as some people are. It seems like I am, but I'm not. (really!) I'm not a member of dozens of communities, I don't do support, I can't do customizations, I don't have hundreds of people on my friends list (augh! I couldn't handle it). There's nothing whatsoever wrong with any of these, it's just not me.
What I am obsessed with is my friends. You guys are great. I've really grown up a lot this past year, I think, and I also think that a lot of credit goes to you guys. Through your intelligent comments and entries, and your support and niceness. It's really helped me. I see the world differently, I think. So, you know. Thank you :D

You guys have also helped to wean me off of surveys, and kind of quizzes. (I still like to take them, but I post them less. Again, nothing wrong with that, just not me).

So, again, thanks :) Thanks for your comments, thanks for your entries, thanks for putting up with me and my insecurities, which I'm sure are annoying and I should try to get rid of. ;) But then again, I'm conceited enough already. O.o Now I'm confused! :D

All right. I'll shush now. If I think of anything else. . . well, I'll try to keep it to myself ;)

Thank you--I'm so glad I met you, also! You're one of my earliest LJ friends, and one of my best, I think. I will owe you for the rest of my life for getting me addicted to SiP ;) And for the great entries and comments, of course! ::hugs::
