That's right, it's been one year since I started this blog. Can you believe it? I kind of didn't think I'd make it this far. When I started this whole adventure, I was in a pretty bad place in my real life. If it hasn't been obvious, fall and winter are generally my lowest seasons, the month of November especially. What may have seemed like a roller coaster of emotions to some was just me, trying hard not to let it show. Unfortunately I've never been able to write without my feelings plastered right on the page, so thank you all for sticking through the mess.
And thank you to those of you who have stuck by me pretty much from the very beginning! What started off as just something to do, something to distract myself, has truly been one of the best things I could have ever done.
I could do as some are doing and telling you all my favorite posts of the past year, but this is my 788th post (846th, actually, because believe it or not, I've written a lot of posts that never actually made it for one reason or another) and going through all of them would be useless as I have laughed at so many of them.
But, I do love pictures, so I'll show you some of my favorites that kind of highlight the past year. :)
The first picture to ever appear on the blog.
The first time I met Cen. OMG, how noob do we look??
My first try at skirt making.
My first [and last] try at hair making.
The first time I realized I'm short!
The first time I met Tymmerie and played Primtionary!
The infamous Bush Barrette.
Toothbrush night at Liquid Rage. LOL!
Fashcon Free Day. 'nuff said.
Mardi Gras. The night Cen and I decided to be Asian twins. LOL
We had camping at the Viper Pit for a while. Cen and I used to ... decorate them.
The very short lived Ninja Kitty!
The woman who inspired the term "watermelon ass."
Our first date. :)
The night we moved in together. :)
One of the first pit parties...and the AFK toy!!
What actually ended up being my biggest seller. LOL
The day Cen beat me up because I didn't like some shoes. She's mean!
Without these girls, I'd be totally lost. :)
The night we got partnered. :)
Someone called me greedy, and I proved I do eat kittens for breakfast.
The Thorne-Darwin wedding!
My amazing birthday party. :)
I'll go ahead and stop there because...well, over 20 pictures already. LOL Plus things got really weird after September and there were more emo moments than I'd care to count and blah blah, you know the drill. :)
Everyone have a marvelous New Year's Eve, and PLEASE be safe if you go out!! I expect all of you to join me in 2009 for more blogging, more fun, and more ... everything! <3

Wow! I remember those pics when they were first on your blog. I guess I have been reading for a very long time. I remember the first time I met you at Liquid Rage. You blogged about a tribute night to Pink Floyd and I thought "What the hell! I will go check it out!"
Here is to 2008 and wishing the best in 2009!
Wow!!! Happy Birthday Ch'know!!!
I am totally remembering the first time I stumbled across this thing and became enthralled with your writing. I'm glad I did, because you guys have become some of the best friends I've found in SL! Best wishes for another year of awesomeness. ^^
