If Only I Were As Cool As My Dogs Think I am!

Congratulations Lindsay!
The best part of the whole business is that you have stuck with it and made some wonderful friends on Opera - like me!

congratulations. you passed the first hurdle... invested some time. it gets better.

Happy Anniversary! I'm looking forward to the blogging years to come!

*licks the cupcake* :yum:

My first blog post was May 16, 2007. Just about 2-1/2 years now.

I'll bet I was not one of your first. How about Cheryl (DuckyChickenLady)? I know she was my first friend here because it was her MOTW pick that got me into this whole My Opera thing in the first place! Alas, Cheryl spends most of her time on Facebook now. But it was so great to actually visit her and the family at their farm in the Ottawa area this past summer (just so I could sample one of her awesome cakes for you! ).

Jarka, as you know, is hard at work studying to be a veterinarian. That is so awesome! She hardly gets on Opera any more these days.

i also hit a year last month, or the month before i think? theres a post somewhere i did on something serious back in the day and i cant remember who it was, either Henry or Gavin, but they were all like, (dont quote me! ) 'Your posts have got much better, they used to be quite bland' or something to that effect i was like HUH?!
er, thanks?

I would never have said such a thing about your posts, B. It must have been "PVC" Gavin.

Hmmm! Must go find it and see who the culprit was! *puts on detective face*

At least I hope I never said such a thing...
What impressed me (in a comedic quaintness sort of way) about your posts, Bianca, was the exuberance over your topics (like LOTS of full capital letters), funny little asides (using lots of bracketed phrases) and the use of expressive slang ("chuffed", "meh", "rad", etc.).

Don't get me wrong: you did have a number of serious topic posts about life in SA that were informative to me as a Canadian about how things are in another part of the world. Compared to most young adults, your writing was articulate and prolific. That is a big "hook" for me as a reader of other people's blogs.

Now if I could just have a decent translator for some of the non-English blogs... Some of them seem like they might be interesting.

Woohoo! Happy Operaversary!
Time flies, doesn't it... I've been here since September 2006, and it just gets better and better

I actually noticed that when i was reading through some of my blogs and even a message thread the other day, Henry! SO many exclamation marks my goodness!
and prolific indeed. think i'm a blog addict.
yea a translator thing would be cool!

I started my blog in January 2007, so I'll be three in Opera-years soon. I want to have a party then!

i had to check my archives... january 18th, 2005 , and still going strong. you have to have a compulsive nature to stick around that long.
my posts are too long for most blog surfers. i don't think people have patience with reading anymore. but it's o.k., i blog for my self. if i get a few comments now and then, it makes it more interesting.

See, I find here to be the best place to be a blog addict.
- No adverts.
- Lots of room to post pictures in the blog itself.
- No advertisements.
- Post as many comments to a thread as you want (the longest I saw was over 200 ).
- No games to clutter up what you really want to do: write and post pics!!
- Proclaim a cause you believe in without finding an "application" for it.
- No sales pitches for weight loss.
- You can totally customise the look of your blog with know-how of CSS.

Congratulations on your blogversity!

One year...congrats. Awww isn't your blog such a cute little one year old?

...occasionally poking a stray lemur on Lucys page, tripping over shoes &art supplies on mine... Yep, we love it here!
